The Playcalling

[DCBoysfan]

I have seen threads with people blaming the playcalling and the 58 minutes Defense. But in my opinon the playcalling was dictated by the line play yesterday. If anyone who Tivo'ed the game can review, I don't think Bill had any confidence in the O-Line, when Bledso was not getting hit or Sacked he was getting hurried. If you notice Dallas started doing alot of three step drops and the Seahawks still managed to get pressure. From my odsevation I think Bill was just trying to get out of there as quickly as they can. If the O-LINE in not producing you can't play Offense Period, that's football 101.

But by the same token, the Defense has to get a stop when we need it I do agree with that, but the Offense has to produce first downs. The offense needs to gets first downs or more than 3 pts. from TWO trips in the RED ZONE in the secon half. We can look at all three losts and we can find times where if the offense gets a couple of frist downs the games are over, see Washington or get a TD inside the 5 see Oakland. Good teams Stop people on D-fense when they need it but to me SuperBowl quality teams grind out the clock and never let the opposing teams offense get a chance to win the game on a last second FG...Ok I have vented time to get ready for the Cardinals!!

I'm talking about playcalling on first and second down inside the 15 yard line with less than 3 minutes to go in the game 3 times this year!! Don't blame the line! Parcells himself ADMITTED he is intentionally playing conservative and settling for FG attempts if he can't run it in.

"SHE" needs to grow a set and stop playing the game to lose. Be a freakin' MAN and try and GO FOR THE KILL!! Until "SHE" learns to do that we will continue to lose games we should win. All 3 losses are a direct result of failure to be aggressive inside the red-zone late in the games.

If you'd prefer, I'll pass on making any judgements about play calling except for calling that last pass play after the Pettitti hold.

Explain that one to me please.

I just disagree with the playcalling inside the red zone, especially when they get closer to the end zone. Instead of trying to run it up the gut, which everybody knows they are going to do, pass it on 1st or 2nd down.

Instead, it's run run pass. Or if they do try a pass it's on a trick play or a WR screen or some other crap.

Here's the thing, they only seem to go run/run/pass in the red zone. So, Parcells is basically telling me he wants to get away from what has been working for the offense once they hit the red zone.

Rich.......

Ok which games are you refering too?, because you have to beable to run the ball in the red-zone since the field gets smaller and there are more defenders in such a small space. But yesterday before Cortez missed the FG on third down Bledso was sacked, which is why they attempted the FG. in the first place.

You do have to be able to run..but if you can't then you need to mix it up. We obviously don't have the horses to create the holes near the endzone. I remember some great plays to Witten, Key and others that resulted in points. Why do we feel we have to power run it, when we obviously can't inside the 10.

OK I assume you are refering to the interception, but I'm making judgements on the game I saw. So I'm not sure on what you wish for me to explain. But if you clarify your question I'm sure I can EXPLAIN it to you, I mean you did say please...

NO...NO NO NO NO NO....

The play-calling was dictated by the Seattle Offense. BP said as much.

In fact, he said the following when asked why they played the way that they were and if it was due to O-line problems "No, we were just trying to keep the Seattle offense off the field."

Sorry, but BP did this to the team...to the defense...to the offense by allowing THE OTHER FREAKIN' TEAM TO DICTATE WHAT WE DO.
