It can certainly be a lazy overreaction, but a SMART offensive coordinator adjusts his plan to account for injuries, or if his O-line's getting smoked six ways from Sunday. Ours almost never does, and half the time he does, it's too little, too late.Trrrroy":155qzjsw said:Blaming Bevell is a lazy overreaction. Sometimes your team gets outplayed. It's what happened here. He's not telling his O-line to hold, and Russ being under instant pressure isn't in his playbook.

I see C-Mike making some dumb situational mistakes but there is more to it than that. There is something that is causing Pete and Bevell to shy away from him. Maybe he is making alot more mistakes out there than we are seeing and they are limiting some of the things we can do because they don't trust him to do the right thing or be in the right place.
Some have trashed Bevell for calling a screen play to C-Mike with no blockers but is that really what happened or was C-Mike out of position in a situation Wilson felt he really needed to get rid of the ball and C-Mike was visible?
We don't know all the parameters of every play so it is hard to actually break down how it was designed, called or executed but we do know that our primary back has been a huge part of this offense until now and the guy we are left with was nearly out of the NFL not long ago for things most fans couldn't see or analyze.
I know it seems crazy but maybe we don't have all the information. Or maybe we have some of the most brilliant football minds in the history of the game who can pinpoint the problem after watching a single play. It's probably one or the other.
. It's up to the players to execute these enhanced chances and we didn't do that at the end Sunday night.
At the end of the game we had a chance to win. The coaches aren't on the field, so that's all we can ask of them. We missed the kick, but a tie on the road against a division rival is a pretty decent consolation prize.cymatica":1dipwzhw said:.

And it's up to coaching to put your players in the best position to execute well.
Example: don't leave your struggling tackles on an island all night against elite defensive ends. Call formations/plays that help them.
Remember the fail mairy game, greenbay couldn't do anything spreading it out, our d-line was killing them. They came out at halftime going TE heavy, and started gaining yards and scoring points.

Pete knows (or at least should) that Hauschka's FG percentage in that stadium is shit. Knowing that, he should have tried at least one more play to get it in the end zone before kicking.

Probably would have with a better option than C-Mike.

Who says that it would have gone to Christine? We have Jimmy Graham, or have we forgotten that?
I know that Bevell seems to in regards to the end zone. :twisted:

Only option IMO was a run and we don't have Lynch or Rawls and I just don't think they trust C-Mike.
