Even the announcers plainly dtated that it was strange that we went to the air a few times. I guess that it was more the crucial points in which we went away from the run as opposed to the amount of times we did so that make it seem so outrageous to me today. Either way, both the execution and playcalling better pull their ole heads outta their ole asses by next week.

I agree with your final point for sure. I am not trying to exonerate Kyle's sometimes problematic play calling.

Let me offer the execution argument a different way: if RGIII had completed those passes and moved the chains, we likely would have followed passes with runs and thus run more. Just like we did on our drive to end the first half, where we mixed runs and passes. Completed passes also achieve the goal of keeping Manning on the sideline. Complete pass, run stretch, lather, rinse, repeat.

But one incomplete pass just creates another passing situation, etc. And the whole downward spiral can be traced back to the original lack of execution.
