Frustrating play call

[Jeremy Igo]

I know this frustrated you yesterday. 

 

 

Two players drawing 3 defenders to the same spot of the end zone. Middle of the field absolutely empty. 

 

Awful. 

[Davidson Deac II]

Didn't frustrate me anywhere near as much as the decision to go for a 55 yard field goal, or kneeling down on a kick return.

Came into this thread knowing what the playcall was.

I don’t understand the logic of having KB and Funch work so closely together in a tight window at the goal line...not much room to work with.

Yeah, Shula just mystifies me sometimes with his play calling. One play, the guy is calling the most brilliant play in the world, then the next he goes full derp mode.

The kneel on the kick return has been largely overblown on this board.

We were set up to recover an onsides kick.

i can't believe CMC's presence didn't pull more defenders to his side of the end zone.

I wonder if Funchess was supposed to drag across with a little less depth, carrying the underneath coverage with him. Doubt it would’ve worked anyway, but maybe that was the plan?

Also the 55 yard field goal doesn’t bother me at all.

It was poorly executed and rushed...that’s frustrating...not going for points.

It’s not a bad play design...  Looks like free safet just made an amazing play.  If Newton threw the ball as KB was turning, it would have been a TD.

Funches takes corner away and KB turns and is wide open with safety few yards behind him but the ball arrives late.

It was a quick strike play and KB was looking for the ball for a good 2 seconds.

Irrelevant, still could have gotten 5 more yards.  Served absolutely no point whatsoever.  As we went backwards, came close to costing us a safety. At least the throw in theory could have gotten something.

The dumbest play call hands down. If it was going to be a KB play, you have him iso by having all other WR/TE to the otherside of the play.

Nope we went full retard on that play design.

I thought Cam had a great opportunity to scramble and walk into the endzone on the right side of this play.

I was more frustrated by the blatant missed holding call on the Lions TD when they started their comeback. The back judge was literally staring at the lineman hold Addison and Mario was losing his mind over it. 

[PhillyB]

pretty standard route combo no?

Shula was Very bipolar calling plays yesterday.

Had some damn good calls and started to look good then would bring us back down to earth reminding us how bad he is.

Quick slants to Funchess...what weve all been begging for!

The McCaffrey shuffle in the endzone.....Great!

 

 

Then the bad

Run plays to Stewart to start the drive on 5 out of 7 drives in the 2nd half (or 6 out of 7, one penalty blown on Funchess then Stewart run)

Talk about lack of keeping teams honest and not taking advantage of opportunities.  Hold them on 4th at midfield, perfect time for a playaction shot downfield dagger? Nope RB draw 2 yard loss
