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?

Because that would be unreasonable. The Morris and Tana fumbles had nothing to do with play-calling. The INT and RG3 fumble had everything to do with play-calling. The defense read both plays before the ball was snapped.

No OC calls the perfect play every down, but when you see myriad blown plays every game because the defense knows what's up before Kyle does we're not going to consistently score points and win games.

We've run that play to Davis plenty of times this year. Doesn't matter if the defense reads it if you execute it. RG3 forced the throw.

In the end this is a pointless discussion. The offense isn't the problem this year.

Did it seem like Paulson ran the wrong route? Rg3 threw with purpose and it just seemed like Paulson didn't cut deep enough.

Edit ss already said it.

Did you know Kyle was responsible for:
- Global warming,
- negative adds in politics,
- the repression of Arab rebels in Syria, and
- the failure to use "whom" when appropriate.

The only reason he even exists is b/c of his Dad. Why if Mike Shanahan had never existed, no one would have even heard of Kyle.

<sigh> I hate Mondays on the Warpath after a loss.

D. Hall and Reed Doughty take offense to this post, everyone knows they are the cause of all the problems.
