the why did we run 4 times

[chuffly]

Uh, why are we cutting Buehler?

I have no problem with the running 4 times...I wanted that...it was a statement drive. Power football, linemen owning the middle.

However, on 4th down, that was the dumbest call in the world.

1. QB sneak from inches away...that's always the call...easy TD with our front 3.

2. Run Barber a 4th time from the I with a lead blocker...he should have gone over the top no 3rd...I think he scores.

3. Fake the run to Barber up the middle and pitch to Choice outside.

Any of those 3 come up short, I'm not happy but I accept it; just like you accept an incomplete pass on 4th down.

But what the @#$@# was Garrett thinking to put MBIII at FB for the first time in the game, drawing everyone's attention to it, Choice at TD, and then giving Barber the ball with no lead blocker and no room to bounce or select his spot?

That call was the most frustrating thing in the entire game for me...not the run, but the FB run...ridiculous.

That was a killer.

Felix Jones was standing on the sidelines watching.

Felix is the guy who makes them defend inside and outside.

He threatens the edge.

Run him, I bet you win that game.

The next coach will feature Felix Jones and change the offensive line to a zone blocking scheme.

one of the four times it should have been a pass. You can chose which one. How many patriots catch touchdowns in the back of the endzone off the short yardage fake? You have to keep them honest - by fourth they knew it would be nothing but a run.

 

[Hoofbite]

I don't care for running four times but lets at least try it from another formation.

Spread the defense out a little bit.

Just a terrible series all around. Poor calling and worse execution.

 

[mldardy]

Garrett is a ******, that's why.

I disagree with this because if we don't run and try to pass then people are going to complain so either way, running it or passing it and Garrett is going to get criticized. The bottom line is we need to SCORE no matter what play was called and we failed to do that.

 

[btcutter]

i agreed with the calls. That falls on the O-Line and Barber. They did not execute. Falls on them.

With HUGE OL and Barber, we can't score from the 1yd line to score a TD. We don't deserve to win the game.

on the fourth down, it looked like a pitch to Felix would have ended up in the end zone.

The calls were fine. Poorly executed. If you can't score from the one running the ball, you don't have a chance to win ANYTHING.

 

[burmafrd]

IF you take FOUR shots from the one and do not score then you do not deserve to win.

I would have given Felix Jones the carries down there. Dallas chose to keep hammering Barber inside. It backfired.

I'll have to watch it, again.

Felix gives you the power inside and can get the edge with ease.

Everything worked out so.

Its not hard to stop a play in the NFL if you know whats comin and have the talent to stop it, one fake would have kept them honest atleast.

 

[panchucko]

At leeast they learned the 2nd time down there.
Well maybe it was the Free penalty that made Red Ball change it up.

 

[Jimz31]

At least jump OVER the pile....TRY it at least.

 

[casmith07]

Why do four of either?

MIX

IT

UP

This this this. At the very least run to the LEFT once.

 

[Ren]

those runs where on Barber and the O line, not Garrett. I'm not a big Garrett fan but i think he called a good game today

 

[Kevinicus]

I don't mind running 4 times, though I hate that they insisted on using the goaline formation every time. To me, the goaline formation is the easiest formation in football to defend, especially in goaline situations.

 

[Doomsday]

I have no problem with us running it 4 times on the goal line.

At some point the oline has to step up and make a flippin block when it counts. They couldnt get the job done so we lost.

 

[Deep_South]

We should have kicked the field goal on 4th down because it is very demotivating to the team to come away with no points and it was close enough for even Folk to make.
