One Decision Overlooked!

^ Soup I agree with tricky stuff and why Moss to run it if he is injured????? Use thrash or B. Llyod. UGH!!!! I had this game count as a lost in my season forecasting but I still think it is a game we should have pulled out.

I thought the spot was bad but the replay showed that Cooley didnt even hit the 1st down marker with the ball when he was tackled. It was a good move to not to challenge.

I liked the call to go for it.

Yupp that is the only one I was not a big fan of.

Otherwise I think the coaches did amazing and the players just could not execute.

For real......I'm gonna keep saying it....can anyone really prevent 275 pound mike sellers from gaining a yard and a half?

Whatever happened to the 1982 Gibbs, Sellers wears the number 45..... scratch thru his number put "-1" on the back make him 45-1 and run right up the middle ala Riggins!!! I like that over a flare pass on a wet field any day.. Football is a simple game when the conditions get bad. Run run run!!!

Look, fellas. Gibbs went for it on 4th. The play call has a number of options for Campbell. Watch the play again. He makes the wrong read. MacCardell is wide open on the screen and jumps up and down in frustration after the play. That's the young QB going with a read that worked last week--hello, everyone just forget that????--and should have come off to the slant (which of course, also worked last week for 30 something yards to ARE).

I don't see a fault in the playcalling--you had one wide open WR, and then you had a running back with the ball one on one against an LB, where you needed two yards. We didn't execute. Full stop.

Totally agree about the spot, and the reffing in general--just horrible. That "double foul" was one of the most dubious calls I've EVER seen. I can't recall that sort of thing. If there's contact, and both players push, and then the WR makes a catch, here's an idea: KEEP THE FRIGGIN FLAG IN YOUR POCKET! (That was just one of many very questionable things...)

Exactly!!! We could've had a huge gain on that play (if not scored) if Campbell had seen MacCardell. I mean he was completely wide open. Considering the injuries to our offensive line, it was a good call.

Since al sauders has been here i haven't seen not 1 bit of explosion in the offense. still can't score but 14-20 points a game. talked so high about him and paying him so much and no results. time to turn the next page of that 700 page play book dont ya think?

About Saunders and his playbook: if you drop passes, fumble, overthrow open guys deep, and fail to make and follow blocks, yeah, you can't score but 14-21 a game.

An offense can't convert 3rd and 4th and short, and we want to blame the coaches. WRs drop the ball and it's the playbook is too big. JC overthrows deep WRs and it's Gibbs is too conservative, Saunders is too complex. I'm tired of this. Step and make a damn play out there. The offense works fine--it worked elsewhere and it works here, when its executed.
