not blaming anyone but cmon we need to fool the D a lil, we should have had a short pass on that last drive to get a first down and then we could have ran out the damn clock...
Yeah, those 1st down things were growing on tree's all day, especially when we needed them.... piece of cake. Sims at left tackle, and Staley out. Gotta love that Sims guy, he's the best pass blocker on the team and that Allen guy on the other side sucks! It's a no brainier we should be passing the ball backed up deep in their territory with a 4 point lead and under a 1.5 minutes to play, with the opposing team out of timeouts. Especially with that crappy ass defense who had been letting them march up and down the field all day, especially the second half. Throw in the fact that our punter can't punt worth a s**t, and the punt coverage team sucks ass too. I'm with ya man, all things point to we should have passed that ball.
Yup, you're right. Running worked so much better even though everyone plus Helen Keller could see it coming, over and over and over........ C'mon Blitz, 3 games in a row we tried that tactic and could buy a first down. Nothing wrong with thr run first philosophy if it works, and, they're not expecting it every play. We fooled no on and came close to being 0-3. Don't kid yourself. Sing and Raye, like it or not, need to come up with alternatives when something ain't working, and 3 and outs are a pretty good indication!
They didn't need to fool anyone, there was absolutely no need to fool anyone. We could give two f**king s**ts about fooling someone in that situation. There was a need to protect the ball AT ALL COSTS, not fool someone. Why is that so hard to understand man? WTF, for all intents and purposes Sing can give them the play gift wrapped on 3 by 5, the point isn't to try and fool anybody, it's to protect the ball in that situation. I'm sure he could give two f**ks about fooling them in that situation, and probably won't even give s**t about announcing it to them with a bullhorn. "Looky here, we are going to protect the ball, we don;t give two s**t's about fooling you, you call the play as long as it's a hand off, we don't care." This "fooling" someone" is a mute point, irrelevant to the circumstances at hand. The game was won, the d f**ked up in the end. They fought scratched and sold their granny's soul to get where they were, and the d f**ked it up in the end. The O didn't have jack s**t to do with the D not defending that play well. That's a fact and no woulda shoulda coulda is going to change it.
