I still get pissed at some of the play calls. Late in the game, 3rd down and we got for a 50 yard bomb? Don't see the logic in that and plays like that when he runs them at crucial points.

Otherwise I think he's finally gotten better, primarily due to having the QB and players to run the system, but he still leaves me scratching my head sometimes.

Here's the thing...those are read plays. Every passing we play we run, and most every team runs, are read plays. Check the coverage and if you get X look you do Y. Bob checked coverage and saw what he thought would be single over the top coverage and went for it. It just missed. Remember when we ha d a strong arm QB a few years ago and NEVER threw that. Because we didn't trust him. It killed us all the time.

Yeah it looked like he didn't have anything open so he pulled a Rexy and tried a deep shot.

Yeah I mean we did the same thing earlier this year and scored a TD on a 4th down...no one complained then...when it worked.

Of course when plays don't work, that's when everyone blames the call.

Sometimes players just don't execute. And sometimes the D just shuts it down.

I always find the play calling debates to be so mind numbing. Especially when our primary problem yesterday boiled down to turnovers. Yet people still want to nitpick about the plays when we have a top 6 offense in scoring & yardage.

Play-calling had everything to do with two of the turnovers, RG3's INT and fumble, and nearly caused a third turnover when the defense recognized another option read and blew up the play in the backfield.

RG3 made a bad decision on the INT and couldn't keep a handle on the ball on his fumble. Can't just blame Kyle for everything. The players still have to execute. Why not just blame Kyle for the Morris fumble while we're at it?
