Bevell is shite inside the 10, and I pray somebody hires him away from us.
Inside the 10 he had balls. Befell, had the opposite. Are you actually saying he did a good job at the end of the 1st half?DavidSeven":2t35t7ok said:MysterMatt":2t35t7ok said:I " love" how, when they were near the goal line, the Saints ran it 5 times in a row.

He's saying "eff you" to an opposing OC while his team is putting up 15 total points? OK... not much room to talk.
Not according to DavidSeven. Everything is just fine.FlyingGreg":2fs3i6ed said:We aren't saving anything. Our offense is pedestrian, predictable and dull.
No flex, no creativity and no life. It's "I hope our defense wins the game for us and we don't have to get daring to win".
When your QB is struggling to reach 100 yards passing far too often, you have a problem.

Is everything not fine? I thought we made it to the NFC championship game.
I look at context to evaluate the play-calling: the type of game that was played, the 30-40 MPH winds, the actual comments from Carroll/Wilson on how the game-plan was going to go (conservative), etc. Do I wish they converted more 1st downs? Sure. But whatever, I'm happy they won against a good team. Bevell is a bit handcuffed by Pete's philosophy, just like everyone else on staff. It's cool with me, because it works.
If you guys think a new OC is going to call these games any differently, I think you're sadly mistaken. You call plays how Pete wants them called or you're fired (Bates).
Yeah; now we're having to rely on actual regular conventional offense, and it's failing miserably. This concerns me greatly.DavidSeven":172vn6aw said:The formations are what they are at this point. That's not really changing from now to the SB. Installation period was over after training camp. Pete said they were able to add a few installs over the bye, but those were obviously for Harvin plays.
Honestly, I think the primary difference between now and earlier in the season is that defenses are just doing a lot better at maintaining contain on Wilson. They're getting more disciplined (and we've played strictly well-coached teams the last five weeks). He gets sacked less, but it's limited his escapability. We've lost all of those mini-runs that used to extend drives.
