So on our first touchdown its a beautifully designed play. I think zeke went one way, pollard the other. You can clearly see how the misdirection affected the defense. Last week against the colts we had Ceedee running those jet sweeps... dak running with the ball.

So KM does it on the first drive then doesn't do it again? I don't understand why he doesn't. It can be an effective part of the offense.Not only to help move the chains, but help dak get into rhythm as well. But we go away from it?

Its just mind boggling to me. Teams use that misdirection stuff the entire game, and it works for them. With the weapons and oline we have (not to mention dak running). It needs to be a bigger part of this offense.
This had to be Kellen’s worst play calling effort all season against an inferior opponent.

Very stagnant. I didn’t CeeDee doing hardly any motion. Dak didn’t have any rollouts to get him outside of the pocket by design.

It was just a piss poor effort by Kellen.

Lets keep mind Dak changes the play often at the line and Dak is calling the plays in hurry up. Only the people with headset know what plays are actually being called by Moore.

KM always stops doing things which are working before the opposition proves they can stop it.

Hated that 4th down run into the middle call.
A rollout pass run option would have been better.

From top to bottom...
That is to say from General Managing, to the coaching to the playcalling to the quarterbacking to the defense.
They all have one thing in common.

Inconsistency.
IF they could figure out how to fix that, they might have some success this year.

Hard to blame the play calling if you haven't seen the all-22 video.

It could have been bad, but people could have been running open and Dak just missed them as well.

Moore has rarely been impressive in the last few years. He's had moments, but not nearly enough. And almost NEVER in the 1st half.

How often do you remember saying to yourself, "Now that was a well-designed play", or "what a great time to call THAT play"? It's a rare occurrence for me. I just don't see "the brilliance" he brings to the game plans.

The 4th and goal after the Diggs fumble recovery was VERY disappointing. We ran every play but should have come up with something better on 4th.

Yep. And if you're going to run in that situation, can they at least use a FB (like the best blocking TE or even a 6th OL) to help with an unblocked defender, which is bound to happen with the defense likely selling out to stop the run. Come on, man! ...we're paying this OC too much money for this crap.

I don’t understand how people keep complaining about Moore. When Dak is starting we’ve been the highest scoring offense for the last two years. Moore didn’t throw the picks or drop the punt. Not every drive is going to be a touchdown.

it crazy. Kellen Moore takes literally all game to adjust. IDK if the offense is too complicated or what but why do we always have some may wr's within the same spot. It happens way too often with us.

I wish he was more like kyle shanahan. They punished the Bucs with their 3rd string QB. It's like no matter the QB they put back there their system just works. And they have a tough physical defense also.
But they ran all over the Bucs and the Bucs only scored 7 points.

You assume it’s play design and not WRs running the wrong routes again
