Play Calling

[Longtimefan]

What's with the playcalling today? Could it be considered as conservative or we just playing not loose as usual?

This is a ball control offense. Not sure why people are so surprised that it isn't Indy's offense. This offense thrives off of the running game. I suppose we could pass every down. They sure worked for us during the Spurrier years.

We played to lose, as we have done when we had fourth-quarter leads in the past three games. Gibbs need to wake up before we finish 6-10 again.

6-10 looks good right about now.

I think we all expected to lose today. I'll only go ballistic if the Rams and Cardinals beat us. We should be 7-6 in two weeks.

Yeah but the problem is we didn't expect to lose last week, so I think a lot of us , me included, were hoping a win this week would balance things out.

The Skins cannot beat anybody right now. To let two West coast teams travel here and beat us at home is the mark of a poor team. If I was the Rams or Cardinals--I would be licking my chops...

We should have won the Raiders game and lost the Chargers game. Both were narrow losses. I'm not giving up on this team yet (as aggravating as it can be).

Here is the problem with the question. You have to consider that play calling and execution go hand in hand. If Rabach doesn't make that penalty, play calling doesn't even come up in a thread. Gibbs did call a conservative game though. It is just a hard topic to pin-point

The Raiders are definately a better team than their record suggests. Like us, they have lost a lot of close games.

That said, we should have won that game.

bottom line we are what we are 5-6 and sinking fast.The eagles could tie us and they lost arguabley the best reciever and qb in the game.We are just pitiful.

We've been sinking because our record was a lot better than we deserved. We were and are a .500 team. (Yes I know we are under .500 right now.)

I know ramseyfan just totaly frustrated with the fourth quarter play.Cant seem to hold it together on either side of the ball.Last 3 games should have won.But like i said earlier we r what we r.
