What is wrong with Santana Moss? (merged)

I thought Campbell played a pretty good game today...and where was the playcalling lacking?

3rd and short situations. Just run the ball between the tackles. OR, go playaction and try for the big play.

Don't try to throw quick outs in the rain or run tosses. Seriously, wtf?

Given the O-line injuries, I don't mind the strategy to pass on 4th and a long 1, but I do have a significant problem with Campbell's decision to throw the swing pass to a well covered receiver 2 yards short of the first down marker. That's an example where he pretty much made up his mind that he was going with the first read when an easy slant to McCardell would have netted a critical first down. Hopefully Campbell learns from that play and makes a better decision next time.

As for Moss's issues, I don't think that he has adjusted to Campbell's velocity on short throws, but that's no excuse for dropping the deep pass in the 4th quarter.
