kdog said:The interception was not the problem. It was the last field goal, that i took exception with. Go back with me here! WE destroyed Alexander at the point of attack, We hit hassleback so many times it was'nt funny. BP continued to run the ball and went deep once to peerless late in the third and to glenn once or twice. BP's refusal to open the offense because he believes that we will make mistakes caused us that game. We were outside the 20 yard line and he played for the fieldgoal. He said that in the skins game and the hawks game. The three plays from the 20 were run plays that were blown up leaving us with the unenviable task of stopping them from scoring! Abersonc come on now, was he not at fault there!
BP said he was too old to try and win later, What does that say about his long term aspirations!
Now here is where you are wrong. BP tried to open it up earlier in the game in Seattle. However, in the 2nd half, most of our offensive series ended with Bledsoe sacks, incompletions forced by the pass rush, or plays that got blown up by crap blocking. You can say "open it up" all you want. But to do so when your line is not able to keep guys off the QB just leads to turnovers.
Against the Skins, Drew threw 36 passes -- that's hardly conservative. What killed us in that game were some huge OL penalties and the 3 botched center-qb exchanges. Huge, drive killing snafus.
Seriously, you might want to review those games before you attribute the losses to bad play calling.
