WTF was that trick play yesterday?

[IGSaint]

I don't know if someone else covered it but what made shula think it would work? Why the fug did he try it out in the Superbowl when we were already hard up for getting positive yards? It just made no sense.

It was flat out stupid. If you were to do that, why not have Joe Webb in to do it? But the play itself was stupid with how the game was going. 

[Toolbox]

Yeah of all trick plays it had to be that one??

[Zaximus]

Shula does some dumb stuff, when he's bad, he's terrible, no middle ground.  That whole game was pretty bad but that was definitely a WTF moment.   It's not a good idea to call a play like that so the defense just knows for sure we have no idea wtf we can do to beat them lol

[Smithers]

A drive killer, that's what it was.

[Toolbox]

The panthers had a lot of success running the reverse or end around to ginn/brown all season and he doesn't try to do it???

[BIGH2001]

it was 10-7, 2nd down from the 50 and that is the play call.  hard to imagine

Nothing that we did this season was called Sunday

Straight butt was what it was.

That single play showed just how much Wade was bitching Shula. It still blows my fuggin mind that against that historically good pass rush, that he continually called long developing routes as our O-line got thumped. Didn't even try to change up the gameplan during halftime. Didn't even fuggin try running some slants, screens, or short dumpoffs to Olsen. I mean seriously, WTF did Shula do these past two weeks?

AND THEN HE STILL has the fuggin nerve to put all of this on Cam with that bullsh*t statement. Fug that guy. I just had a feeling we were going to get shula'd on the biggest stage.

It was the Legatron play...

if you are going to pull off a trick play....don't use one that your QB already burned people with before.  Takes the element of surprise away.

Well IMO that makes it an even dumber play.  Pretty sure if you insert your 3rd string QB at WR for the first time all season and throw it backwards to him.....they sniff it out the same way.

Well we didn't have many successful drives I don't think. 

As for the play call even I was scratching my head.  I realize Denver was sniffing out everything we did, but I might have tried that play with Joe Webb.

We had all the momentum an terrific field position and you burn away a down after what I'd wager good money you did the previous down as well with what was no doubt a run up the middle for minimal or no gain
