Tell me, why are long developing routes a good idea given the Hawks situation that game?
Taking a three or five step drop and lobbing a ball down the sideline hoping your WR makes a play isn't a long developing route.
And if that's happening more than once or twice a game it's because you can't get anything else going. Believe me, everyone would LOVE to just run the ball, but this line is so terrible it's getting pushed back two yards on RUN plays, that's panic button time my friend.
So against the Ram's D that mauls our line and press covers our WR's to death, you try and get them to back off by making those sort of plays downfield.........and it worked a couple times until Lockett got hurt.
Of all the things to complain about ,this is like #8 on my list.
- horrific O-line play
- stupid penalties
- defense that couldn't keep the Rams deep in their territory to try and get our offense short fields
- no turnovers, again
- fumble by Michael
- miscommunication with LB's and DB's passing off TE's and receivers, again
- Richardson running the ball out before halftime even though Pete told his SPECIFICALLY to not do so, and it cost us a FG attempt
