I understand where McCarthy was coming from. and we ended up winning the game, but doing that very same thing against Philly or one of the better teams we’re going to play is going to get us beat. If you have an opportunity to take a shot at the endzone and still have a timeout in your pocket, you need to do it. It showed a lack of confidence in our offense and QB.
The Ravens last year lost in the WC round without their starting divisional QB to the Bengals and were a QB sneak away from possibly winning with their backup. Despite that they still realized that they needed a new offensive coordinator. Literally the sole difference between the teams is 1 playoff round and that is likely because the Cowboys had their QB healthy, and the Bucs were not very good last year and were possibly the weakest team in the field. Basically both teams had the same problem: defense was great but the offense had hit a wall and is underperforming relative to the talent. In this case it is much more obvious that the offense has hit a wall and is underperforming because it is drastically worse than last year with the same players.
but if MG catches the TD maybe it isnt as bad as u think. Its about executing. I feel we will get better. But if we don't, changes will be made.
You’re right, he will call it differently. We’re going to have to take some chances against them and a few other teams.
It still is as bad as I think. 1 play is not the problem with the offense. 1 play does not make them go from near bottom of the league in RZ percentage when they have been on top the last 3 years. 1 play does not fix that they are down significantly in every offensive category with the exact same cast. Having 1 good moment does not make you a good offensive coordinator. You cited the Ravens as an example of how to do it and if you do it like them you show McCarthy the door.
everyone , like all the experts here on the internet?? the armchair internet gms, coaches and payer evaluators whop doesn't have a SB ring a top 5 all time win% inthe nfl and has the DC at 12-5 , 12-5 and now 4-2 start heck even finished 3-1 in 2020 id say hes has us in better pace than many before him..
He was worried about it because he didn’t have confidence in his offense. He’s seen all the penalties we’ve been getting and the struggles in the redzone. He was fearful of coming away with no points. On the radio Tuesday, Jerry said he wanted us to take a shot at the endzone. He clearly wasn’t pleased with the decision. That strategy isn’t going to work against Philly, Miami, Buffalo, Rams and Detroit. We’re going to have to take some chances and come away with TDs in those situations.
They have an extra week to work on all the mistakes they keep making down there. They better correct them because the schedule is going to start getting real tough. The losses are going to start to mount if we don’t become more efficient offensively especially in the redzone. We can’t just keep settling for three points. We’re going to need all the points we can get when we play Miami. I can’t recall a team that has more speed on offense.
