WTF are we doing passing the ball 29 times against that team?



Oh, I don't know...maybe because they were constantly putting 9 in the box and their secondary sucks?

Don't think they were 'working' on the passing game, but Christ...Mett is a QB, so it would be nice if he was able to throw the ball from time-to-time.

Besides, if he could hit the broad side of the barn, we'd have killed them.

yeah, I'll have to watch the replay tomorrow night ... but, I did hear "overthrown" a lot on the radio today.

Throwing in the 1st half was understandable. but after we took control in the 2nd half, throwing was stupid

That's my point though, Rummy. He can't, and this has been proven. Spring, Fall Camp, that's the time to work on passing game.

It isn't just Mett, either. Even with 9 in the box, it's pretty rare for guys to be open. We have no tall receivers, so just throwing it up and hoping they make a play on the ball doesn't work either. Especially with the drops these guys have.

Shytty routes, poor passes, unimaginative pass play calls, maybe two weeks is enough to fix it. I have my doubts at this point.

I just don't see why, when we were starting to assert dominance in the running game, did we resort back to passing. Hill could've had 180 yds given the chance.
