Yeah, it's one thing to lose a game knowing you gave it your all and played YOUR gameplan. I can live with that all day, every day. But to not even bother using your FB and TE's or, as stated, heavy on the play action and then stand around lookin' like booboo the fool cuz you could only manage to score 13 measly points after TWO PICKS & TWO FAILED FG's is some whole other bullshit.

My big question is WHY?

Why did Kubiak come up with the game plan he did? Which, as noted above, was hyped up all pre-season as RUN RUN RUN. But became Grub-esque at game time.

Did he figure Shanahan knew him well enough that he had to do something different? Is that even a possibility?

I cannot for the life of me figure out the WHY of it.

Hopefully Klint will take warning from what happened to the last OC. Good that Mac fired him.

I don't know why...nor do I care anymore.

That game is over and done with.

What I care about now is for Kubiak to use the ACTUAL GAMEPLAN that was continuously advertised during the preseason and FINALLY UNVEIL IT next week.

Not expecting a win up in Pissburgh but I want to see the real gameplan in action.

And the award for the NO SH*T, SHERLOCK award goes to....

There is two parts here. We're all talking about the playcalling but Macdonald mentioned "execute when called". Is Darnold changing the play at the line?
