Offensive Playcalling

Seems like our offensive coordinator forgets we have very good WR’s…

Exactly my thoughts. Last week, this week same dumb runs that get blew up in the backfield on crucial 3rd downs smh

What? We have 2 new OL, including a center who was on the PS last week. We only have 2 WR. And our QB just threw a sidearm pick 6. I wasn’t sure we’d score 14 points on offense all day today, but we’ve managed to put together 2 really nice, long drives based almost solely on play calling.

It’s like his scripted 10-15 are absolutely flawless (sans McCoy injury last week), but when he faces the ebbs and flows of a competitive game - he can’t push the right buttons.

I think he’s got a bright future, but the dude needs to not be so cute in the playcalling.

Stevie Wonder can see it, why can’t you?

No, my perception would be different if he didn’t call a sweep with backup linemen as lead blockers on a key 3rd and 3.

So, 1 play?

but some of the calls have been questionable to say the least.

All play calls that don’t work are questionable in hindsight.

Maybe your perception would be different if the first two games didn’t skew what we’re seeing today.

That doesn’t make sense. If my perception was skewed by those games, I’d have much higher expectations and be disappointed today. But my expectations were tempered based on the fact that we’ve got so many guys out. Hell, even at full strength, this offense is lacking at least 2 more play-making pass catchers.

It’s amazing we are able to run the ball at all considering that and our OL issues. Teams aren’t scared of Carr and our passing game. They are committed to stopping the run. Yet, we’re still able to run it based on all the different looks Kubiak is able to present them with. And Taysom wasn’t in on that drive and most of the one before. I’m not ready to crown Kubiak the GOAT or anything, but he’s done a very nice job today so far.
