You can pick any sample size and make that argument. Like on our 3rd drive we did nothing but run.
The actual play call numbers from the 1st quarter were:
6 running calls and 5 passing calls.
The passing calls increased in the 2nd quarter making the total calls for the 1st half:
14 running plays and 16 passing plays.
That's including the 5th drive with the following 4 pass play calls:
2nd and 13
2nd and 17
3rd and 6
and 3rd and 9.
I realize that one of the 2nd down play calls could have been a run but the other three were probably gonna be passes.
Including our first drive of the 2nd half, the total play calls at that point in the game were:
17 running plays and 20 passing plays.
Considering what a down and distance debacle our 5th drive turned into, it wasn't a pass happy ratio at all.
Then we went down 25 to 6. Everything changed dramatically after that.
I understand the frustration, but the game plan wasn't for Kirk to pass the ball 50 times. We were down by 3 scores trying to play catch up.
