re: Thought we would run more

I honestly think they were throwing so that it opened some things up for the run later in the game.

If it worked - great. If it didn't - then at least it helps to keep them honest.

I thought that too. But they never did back off the LOS, where we were winning even with them stacking it. Luckily though, no picks today. I'd LOVE for Mett and his WRs to get on the same page. I'd LOVE to see the TEs more involved. But like I said, it's nearly November. Too late. Run the damn ball, especially when it's WORKING.

Up 17-12, driving, with the crowd out of it, we were in control.

Not sure what game you watched. Would've worn them down had we kept pounding, but we were going 3 and out trying to pass the ball around

So sick of hearing that. We beat Bama 2 times in a row with a one dimensional offense. Lack of the whole team showing up is why we lost against Bama in January.

Up by 5 and in control... Ha.

BTW, when we were up 17-12, we only had one other 3 and out -= and that was three RUNS.

What game were YOU watching?

i know rivers only played against inferior competition and i dont think there should be a change necesarrily .. but, am i the only one that thought the offense was more crisp and effecient with rivers?

---

Man, I know what you're saying, but no...Mett is the best we have. The huddles seemed more crisp and efficient? He handed the ball off a couple times. That's it.

OK, not 3 and out. We were driving, THEN changing over to pass plays and THEN punting.

So you can't be in control of a game up 5? That's news to me

I know this. We performed better when running the ball, and moreso in the second half. Anyone wanna argue that?

I thought the missed FG was earlier, but OK. What your possessions don't show is play selection. I'd like to find out how many passes we attempted in the 2nd half.

The numbers 11-29 for 97 yds are more telling than anything anyone has put up to this point.

Not true.

If we look at my theory, then really you only have an issue with the first two drives of the second half, which, honestly, could have helped us later in the half with getting their asses out of the box.
