Re: Why all the complaining?

Use Shotgun 40% of the time, rollout 20% of the time, throw first to get a rythm to set up the run. Use shotgun draws, hurry up offense, quick counts....anything different.
No more reverses or anything that takes time behind the line.

Our line sucks...they better changes offensive philosophy now.
Campbell is good enough to sling it deep.

Yes, there will be a pick every game, but if you throw deep, with our D, it is essentially a punt anyways.

Don't know why we didn't do this more but maybe it was because we had a backup center in there. Anyways I always love the "Use the shotgun to counteract our bad pass protection" scheme. It doesn't work as well as many would like to believe. It allows the QB to be set earlier but it doesn't give him any more time than dropping back.

rollout 20% of the time,
This still requires the same amount of pass protection, just in a different matter. Our guys had trouble blocking the guy right in front of them. Why rolling out on a regular basis and requiring them to block in space would help is beyond me.

Yes throw first to the 2 WR we have down field right in the middle of the Cover 2 they are running. That makes sense. Don't do anything to bring the safeties up and require the LBs to stay out of coverage. That wouldn't make a lick of sense. Let me get on the phone and call the other 31 teams and make sure they know this new found way to achieve offensive success.

Gimmicks do not an offense make.

Agreed

It has. This is what it has changed to.

With 2 guys haning on him every time? I didn't know JC stood for Jesus Christ because he is who we'd need in there at QB in that case.

Try 3 picks and 2 fumbles. And a loss.


You ideas are simple minded and wont work.

Sorry, I didn't think of that. He might play fantasy football.

Why all the complaining?

You aren't serious are you? After an offensive performance like that and you don't understand why people might complain. Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled we won the game as I'm sure everyone is, BUT...Hell, even the Skins offensive players will tell you they are embarrassed by the way the offense played yesterday. Something has to give, and I won't put it all on the banged up offensive line. There's more to it than that.

We have a great defense, but a couple more games like this and the defense will be worn out, then we'll have no offense or defense. I mean it's like the defense is playing two games in one every week as much as they are on the field.

I am serious. Everyone complains not matter what happens. We were 5-11 last year, and now we complain when we WIN a game. Nobody gives the other team credit at all. They played hard shut us down in the second half. The consistently blitzed up the Middle and Campbell had no time to throw the ball. The coaches knew that and tried to catch them in a blitz, it didn't work. We didn't play they way we can but we are still 4-2.

Our QB is the real deal our Defense is real good and if not for two STUPID penalties the Cardinals would have never been close. Sure you can make a case about the play calling but how do you know what they called? They could have been trying to open it up Campbell had no time so he checked down.

People complain about things they don't even understand and it is annoying, you would think the fact we WON the game would help but it doesn't. These are all the same people who wrote us off before the season and now think we should be blowing out everyone we play. It is clear our Oline is struggling and to win without argulably the most important Oline man against a good Defense should make people happy.
