Everybody is missing it. The problem is a shitty game plan and not playing to our strengths more. This so-called offense we are running is the most confusing thing ever and the way that plays are called in where everyone knows what their assignment is 3 seconds before the playclock runs out is absolute garbage. You could be fricking Erik Andolsek and have problems firing off the ball when you have been crouching and turning your head waiting for the play and the line calls. Good luck. If there isn't a major change in offensive PHILOSOPHY we are in for more of this shite.

Many of us have said the plays being called aren't the best, but more specifically, Crowton isn't trying anything new after the old stuff is proven NOT to work:

Option play...DUMP IT....it doesn't work. Move the RB further back and to the side and just pitch the ball either as a pitch or a flair pass

I have no idea what happened to the standard I formation where Scott was going to the FB and Williams the TB. Miles mentioned that but haven't seen it run more than about 3 times.

I have less problem with the stand up and look to the sideline than you do. It annoys me...I wouldn't do it...but I don't see that as a major problem. Other teams do it. You know what the criticisms remind me of? Punt ugly!! Remember how that was going to get us 3 punts blocked a year? I haven't heard one complaint about "punt ugly" this year...not 1...and you know what...almost every game I watch has both teams using it!
