I think that's what most are getting at here. The defense is obviously playing out of their minds. It is interesting that we did pretty well under Tom Allen and now BJM and both of those guys were loud and demonstrative types. Maybe defenses need to get fired up by a coach.

We were up big and within FG range. My guess is we didn't want to take too many risks and give the momentum back to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 5... FIVE passes to the endzone that did not connect, 0/5... and here many fans are complaining about the lopsided play calling not having enough passes called. Aside from the terrible 4th down play call, the red zone playcalling was setting us up to score and mixing in a lot of pass attempts but the player execution was horrible through the air. The coaches need to fix this in practices. Edited September 22, 2017 by Gismo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree with the conservative nature of the playcalling, but it wasn't bad... just really conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the terrible 4th down play call, the red zone playcalling was setting us up to score and mixing in a lot of pass attempts but the player execution was horrible through the air. The coaches need to fix this in practices. here are the plays for 6 series that started inside their 30. We ran it on first and second down 5 of the 6 times. 26 yard line run-run-pen-pen-run-pass 6 yard line run-pass-pass-run 20 yard line run-run-run-run 22 yard line run-pen-run-pass-run-pass-pass 21 yard line run-run-pass 25 yard line run-run 16 runs 7 pass 3 penalties 5 of those passes were on 3rd down- 4 of those were obvious passing downs 3rd and 24 3rd and 6 3rd and 14 3rd and 8 3rd and 2 Play calling is so predictable.

Also when you're up by 20 against an offense that, on that particular night, wasn't scoring 20 points if we played 12 quarters, you don't need to do anything to give them cheap points.
