Execution eats playcalling for lunch

When play calling is executed, whether boring play calling or innovative play calling, innovative play-calling always wins. I loved the victory but please, let's not go overboard.

No innovative doesn’t always win. Execution always wins.
 
But combine the two....then you got something

Keep reading garret doesn't game plan for opposing teams. Hard to beleive they don't try to get at a weakness via a mismatch for a splash play....could be the diff in a playoff spot or divisional crown

My point, and obviously it’s flying over peoples heads, is that the best playcallers are those with the best players. How magical is that?

And what’s asinine is how revisionist fans are. Like I said, if it works it was great. If it didn’t, people always have the answer for what would have worked instead. Hindsight is 20-20.

Of course execution is important. But playcalling has an effect on execution. That’s the point of complaining about playcalling.

Some plays are easier to execute. Some players are better than others at executing. Each defense is differently and the individual matchups vary from team to team.

For example, Zeke Elliott executes at an MVP level. Rico Gathers hasn’t executed anything in the NFL yet.

In a key situation, when we need a TD to keep the lead safe, the coaches called a play, relying on Rico freaking Gathers to execute, rather than the best RB in the league.

That’s why playcalling matters. Playcalling has a direct impact on execution. I don’t understand why some people believe they are two separate things. Execution and playcalling are directly related to one another.

I laid low last week because I have a low tolerance for whining. I always come back by Wed of the week after a loss in case anybody who has a history of disagreeing with me wants to talk seriously about the game. But I don't consider it my responsibility to babysit grown men and women who handle disappointment badly. We've got guys around here who can't even tolerate a close win. The way the league is setup, that's insanity.

HILARIOUS:lmao:

:starspin:LMAO:starspin:

* Hey, I noticed my "News Flash , BroFan" post I'd put up in the 'post game thread' in response to a post I deemed was throwing shade on you,got feather dusted away, was that yer' doing?:rolleyes:
 
Players have to do the impossible to execute an atrocious playcalling ...

But hey, don't take my word for it , just ask T.Romo .

The only time execution always wins is when you have better talent than the other team, ala 90's Cowboys. You can execute to perfection but when it meets better players and especially better players that know what you're running, all the execution in the world won't matter.

First of all, I’ve seen people blame pretty much every aspect of the offense, not just the playcalling. That just tells you there is nothing definitive.

As for people blaming the playcalling, yeah, lots of people just talk out of their a**. Either way, I’m not listening any take on playcalling unless it’s accompanied with film study.

Like someone has to study film to know we haven't run the ball nearly enough until today. Give me a break. Most people can process that on the fly. Leading league in rushing, third in the league inn YPC but late 20s in carries. If you need film study to show you that's a farce, I'm an African Prince looking to import $10 million dollars and I'll pay you 10% of that if you'll loan me $5k...

I have no doubt what is say is true. What I do doubt is that fans have any idea about any of that during to the game, and probably not after the game either.

As far as Zeke and gathers, I’m on record as saying that I would not have run the ball three times. And as I said before, dak executes a relatively easy play on second down, no one is talking about this series.

And at least the folks asking for gathere at the goal line can not shut up :). Dude doesn’t look like a football player.

Oh you’re right about us fans. I mean I couldn’t call plays in an NFL game. No doubt.

I do think it’s fair game for us to want coaches who do it well though. And the only way for us to know if it was done well or not, is to base that on the outcomes and winning.

People don’t complain about playcalling nearly as much when the team wins.

Droopdog7 - one thing you have to understand though. Win or lose - in here 60% will still say everything sucked. Running, passing, coaching, front office, hot dog guy etc.

Naw, the hot dogs are pretty good.

What is the purpose of talking about playcalling and execution if we can't project them into the future?:huh:

Playcalling and execution are MEANINGLESS if they're limited to the Lions game. Teams don't play the game to win against one team. They play so they can beat most of the teams with the goal of beating the best team.
It's like bragging about a road you've paved yet the road dead ends into a cement wall. What good is a dead end road? The purpose of paving roads is to get from one destination to another.
It's the difference between process and pointlessness. :)

That's an HILARIOUS analogy, yet it really doesn't viably mesh or dovetail into the point of which your ,,,:huh:,,, illustrating?



* the coaching echelon, without a doubt, had gotten a blazing fire lit under their ***es, to un-***k the major malfunction, or else!,,,I'm not fully grasping the scope of yer disgruntlement Broo_O
