Let me ask you this. How come we are only in shotgun on 3rd and long? Why not try running a 3rd and long offense on 1st down to try and get bigger pass plays? It's not as tough to get big pass plays on 1st down then on 3rd down. Why don't we ever line up in shotgun in 1st down???? I'm not say we have to throw it. Hell we can run it. But it just gives the defense something else to think about. These are things that I can see from my TV. It just makes us easier to defend being so damn predictable.

Personally that jumbo crap on the goaline with no timeouts was just terrible. I knew we were going to run the left side. Everyone knew we were going to that side and that's why we got stuffed. That was also on the coaches.

Spiking the ball with 51 seconds on 1st down on the 2 yard line is simply unacceptable and it was piss poor coaching and that's on Joe Gibbs. This clock management bullshit has been going on for three years. Fix it or retire. You don't see teams with good offensive coaching going through stupid things like this. With as much $ as these guys make this should never ever happen and if I were Snyder I would be livid!

And, more to the point, Eli was throwing a lot of junk Burress' way when he was covered reasonably well, and he was going up and getting those balls. Jason was not getting the same help from his receivers (again, ARE excepted).

Or it is just that coaches are more comfortable with Brady going deep and making throws with a lead than we are with Campbell.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

C'mon Quake. If Derek Anderson can throw for 5 td's one week than so can JC. What can JC do well right now? Throw it deep.

We DID go deep with the lead and tied. 3 times. We only ran 11 offensive plays, and thats a HUGE percentage of those plays.

The intermediate passing game was underutilized, but its not like we have one. Opening drive of the second half we threw two straight passes to Moss in the intermediate zone and Campbell missed. Bad.

A tough game to watch at the end...Raubach had some penalties that could have cost them the game..watching the team rally together and get it down to the one and end up losing is a tough pill to swallow..I like our match-up against detroit though.. they have no running game and our secondary should hold them in check soon this loss will be behind us...
