Yeah well we also could have not played scared predictable ass football on 1st and 2nd down. Maybe we wouldn’t have been in a 3rd and long if we just stuck to literally what we had been doing all game and what just landed us an 8 minute drive the drive before. Nope, of course we didn’t.
Not excusing him slowing on the route, that wasn’t great… I just hate that this is what’s being talked about on that final possession.
Agree. This is the clearest of many examples of how the coaching staff has lost games. I can’t think of three worse playcalls. The first 2 are inexcusable. And I’m not trying to defend fields though I think he did enough. But does anyone know if fields can CHANGE THE PLAY at the line? The third down call though. We needed a first down. Not 40 yards. Time for a 10 yard route to Moore or kmet.
A 40 yard pass is a low percentage pass. It should not have been drawn up like that. One route is super deep. Dj was not even at the first down marker. Bad play design for the situation. I agree fields threw a perfect ball to the right player. But he should not have even had the option
I’ll agree with you there. I still think the chance of completion is low for the deep ball vs anything else. Look at the charges packers game. Quentin Johnson dropped it and he was wide open as well
I get running it but fucking two shotgun runs? That hasn’t worked since Getsy has gotten here when the defense knows it’s coming. Be more creative Jesus Christ.
I’m never going to understand changing how you’ve been playing all game because of the clock and the score.
I think that was my biggest complaint about lovie, is that at the end of games where we were up by a score, he’d go into prevent defense and inevitably give the other team a chance to tie or win it because we abandoned the gameplan that got us the lead late in the game in the first place.
I don’t want to be a coach, but it seems to me like there are two obvious things every good coach should be able to do.
Create a scheme that fits your players, highlighting their strengths while minimizing their weaknesses
Stick to the plan if it’s working. See it through to the end.
And this coaching staff does neither. I quit a high paying job recently because the people above me couldn’t do either 1 or 2

Scott was wide open and it was a perfect ball… it was the right play. We have been shredding him for not seeing open receivers all year.

Having a fast WR stretch the field creates space underneath by pulling safety help.
The rest of the play might be bad, but having a speed guy take the top off isn’t bad at all.

You mean running the ball and getting bailed out by defensive penalties?
I get running it but fucking two shotgun runs? That hasn’t worked since Getsy has gotten here when the defense knows it’s coming. Be more creative Jesus Christ.
The fact that they knowingly ran those plays straight into a brick wall, not even TRYING to actually get a positive play is just sickening.

We weren’t in a prevent defense.
I agree. I put the blame on Getsy, not on a rookie WR who made a rookie mistake.
