The ONE play I hated was the pass at the 3 yard line. I want the Beast with the ball at that point and I do NOT understand him not getting it. This is 2 weeks in a row now, c'mon Bevell.
I totally agree. While it would be unfair to expect Bevell, or any other OC, to call the perfect game, some things you just don't mess with. I get the impression some people think pounding the ball or playing a power style of offense, is solely for the purpose of attaining a score. There's more to the art of ground and pound than that and 1st and goal from the 3 is the perfect time to impose your will on the other team....to compromise their very spirit. Yes, they D knows it's coming...it's up to the O to step up and say..."yes, we are going to run this ball down your throats and you will not stop us from doing so". That sets a tempo and sends a message that getting cute just won't do.
In the end, we won and that is what matters. But always remember the old adage "when you pass, only 3 things can happen, and 2 of them are bad".
More Lynch. Less cute, Mr. Bevell. I thank you in advance.
