Dave Canales killing me with his play calling!

[Dragoon11]

Dave doing that "be super careful" play calling today. Play not to lose.

It's not creative, that's for sure. I've never seen anything from him, ever, that is indicative of anything but a C+ caller (if I'm being generous).

Playing one of the best defenses in the league, can't be reckless. That's a sure fire way to lose. Do tou want to win this game or not?

Dave playcalling here is just a repeat of the Rams game 

and it’s the only way.   It’s not Dave’s fault the D squandered the opportunity.  It’s the same gameplan that was celebrated as the best win of the season.  

we aren’t as good as Seattle.  Dave is actually calling it smart.  He should keep it up unless forced out of it

It's frustrating to day the least. No variety.

What do you want him to do with a QB that cant pass or really run all that fast.

The dude is handcuffed.

But you know what? The halftime adjustments are going to tell the story, and in my opinion Dave hasn't shown to be stellar in that area either. 

An astuteness at play calling, halftime adjustments and situational play calling is how we win.

We'll see what happens.

Going toe-to-toe with a team that has a much better roster than us. Again.

I just can't understand this place sometimes.

If you're going to praise a coach today, then it's Evero. Canales ain't done a damned thing of note.

Canales hasn't wowed me as a play-caller either, but if we hadn't just fumbled on a short field, it would still be tied. His culture building and handling of players has been really good.

I am hopeful that he continues to grow in the offseason and reviews his play calling (which I'm sure he will) and possibly bring in someone to call plays that he will trust.

Jaycee Horn has to make that INT.  When you are given those gifts….you got to make the play.  Simple as that.  That’s auto points. 

and yeah, D and ST have to make plays in a game like this.  Only way to win given what we got on O

it’s been a smartly called game.  Hubbard fugged up the plan as well.  Can’t have that

its literally the Rams gameplan.  You can’t ask Bryce to be much of the game or you get the INT that just happened as I typed this

All of that's agreeable, it's just not helping us today. I'm not averse to Canales getting another shot or two, especially in light of not being able to pick his QB, but he needs an OC.

It’s infuriating to watch.
