What was Bevell thinking? Let's go back to the slow developing passes against one of the best DL in the league. Let's run Marshawn on the first play because our OL is so good at run blocking and will punch holes in the best front 7 in football. Everyone in the world knew Lynch was getting that football. Bevell proved he could do a better job calling plays, he did in the second half. What frustrates me is why he waits until the game is over. He should have started off with the quick rhythm offense and blended in the old stuff.
That's 4 straight playoff games that RW has played poorly. As much as he has improved as a pocket passer he still has some issues. Someone else pointed out how poorly he plays in the first quarter of most playoff games.
Russ did play hard. He was gassed out there several times. Seems with his slow starts that Bevell would have figured out something else to get him into the game sooner.
For a coach like Pete who seems to pride himself with attention to details there are many things that other coaches like Belichek and Fisher seem to do better. The field was horrible and the defense needed to change their shoes after that attrocious start. The clock management stuff seems to be happening way too much. It was also very apparent that the 10:00 stuff was affecting the team the last two weeks.
I'm still In. I love this team. Looking forward to next season.
Your answer to slow starts is on phrase "scripted plays". Today add to that going back to the first half of the season slow developing play offense for the first half of the game. PC and Bevell have said it they like to script their first bunch of plays and probe the defense and then make adjustments, Guess what that makes for slow starts. FYI 4 straight playoff games were he played badly?
Hmm lets see
Today Qb rating 91.1 which is good, 398 of offense though he did make some mistakes and had help doing it
MInn agreed he played bad. colder than crap
SB 110.6 Qb rating only 1 mistake on a horrible play call
GB he played bad, rain rain go away well that and 3 dropped passes that turned into ints (Kearse)
Interesting the 2 bad games were is very bad weather. The 2 good games not so much. So sorry he has not played bad ion the last 4, he played bad in 2 of the last 4.
