Learn from this year and make our offense truly explosive next year.

Passing on 2nd and 1 (another cute call) that ended up being INT.

Hope SF calls Linehan tomorrow...heck tonight!

The next time Rodgers is on the sideline and we are 3rd and 2 down by 3 in field goal range. Run the ball, get the 1st down. Call time out and don't leave it up to chance.

Absolutely. Even if he doesn't get the 1st, the clock still runs. 100% should have been a run play

The 3rd and 2 pass play in the 1st was a bad call. Zeke was eating and there's a good chance we get that on 3rd down.
We convert that, kill more clock and hopefully score a TD.

I just hate how in today's NFL, 3rd and 3< is an automatic pass play. Spread them out and run

The answer to every offensive question is "give it to Zeke".

 

[TrailBlazer]

Me or you could've play called this team to a win

 

[DOUBLE WING]

The play calling early in the game and decisions to throw on short yardage is much more of a factor into what lost this game than that spike on the last drive.

 

[Doomsday]

My biggest complaint about Linehan is going empty on 2nd and 2, every single time this game.

That and going empty on first down in the red zone right before the half. They were having to single Dez to stop the run, than you take the run threat out of the game and throw it leaving way too much time on the clock for Rodgers. Got lucky the defense made a stop there but terrible attention to detail to me.

 

[Wezsh0T]

I don't understand why E.E. is ever off the field. It was killing me when they went empty set.

Linny lost us this game with his JG imitation 3 straight pass plays before half.

 

[Upstate Ny Cowboys Fan]

21-10 first half. 1st and 10 from the 15 yard line..... and 1:30 left on the clock. How many of you were yelling to hand it to Zeke on 1st down, then on second down. I certainly was, and had no doubt we would score a touchdown there. 21-17 going into the half. Big mistake to pass all 3 downs. Most likely cost us 4 points.

And all of them with every receiver in the end zone instead of trying to pick up 5 yards and get a first down.

 

[Lodeus]

Offense was down 18 and came back. They did good. We would have saw a lot more EE if it was a closer game throughout.

Passing on 3rd and short is what they got wrong tonight.

Totally agree with this also.

They did this in the first Eagles game we almost lost. First half, they got inside the Eagles 10 yard line 3 times and Elliott never touched the ball.

 

[Clove]

PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE on Rodgers. Any other QB, we can rush 3.

The empty sets kill me.

Can we at least make the defense THINK that Zeke might get the ball, instead of tipping them off that he won't?

When does this team ever run knows 3rd and 2? I truly never see that happen. 3rd down is an automatic pass play, even with this running game.
