yes. this style of play does work, but has little to no margin of error. and contrary to popular belief the run wasnt abandoned it was just stuffed. that will happen to a run game every now and then.

I would agree with this if we had more than 5 run plays in the second half. If we had, say, 15 runs for 20 yards, I'd be more inclined to agree. As it stands the run was indeed abandoned, as evident by the number of running plays ran. Regardless of whether these 4-5 plays got one yard a peice, it was abandoned no matter how you look at it.

As much as I hate Foxball yesterday that was not it. We played horrible on Defense allowing the passing game to tear us a new one and on Offense we passed way more then we ran the ball. Basically it was the opposite of Foxball.

....end of thread....

I agree. That was not Foxball (which I also hate). We didn't play Foxball last year either. If Fox had actually stuck with Foxball last season we would have made the playoffs.

Foxball has evolved. It now just means being bad at your job. Fox had the perfect roster for Foxball last season.....and instead wanted Jake to be a bigger part of games than he needed. Only 15 more Fox games left.

It's amazing to me, that early on we stuck with Fox's plan. We stuck with short passes, trying to drain the clock and giving our defense time to rest --- allowing us to to go into the second half, actually winning!!!

Then they tried to get fancy, they tried to toss the ball around and what happened? The plan fell apart and we lost.

I think some teams want to see the Warner and the Rams out there, dropping 50 a game! It won't happen! We are a boring because that is just the system that we developed. We run, run, run all day. It's slow, it's unexciting, it's boring, but it works. When we try to please the fans and get fancy and try to throw bombs or deep balls, nobody is happy.

Play-calling has to be our #1 focus.

It was execution problems yesterday. Not John Fox problems. Check downs were ignored. Assignments were missed. Piss poor play calling.

that is what Fox likes to say, to blame it on execution. If the Colts opt to take Manning and passing game out of play and pound the rock all game....they aren't going to produce. Now, you could counter and just say they aren't executing the running game well........and I guess that would be true. However, they aren't built to run....they are built to pass. It would simply be horrific coaching on Indy's part. Playing to there weakness....and when you try to make your weakness your bread and butter huge mistakes are always going to happen.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
