There were a lot of questionable decisions. Running Dwill up the middle for -1 to 2 yards constantly (when tolbert was getting 3-6 yards). Going 'oh we should run some screens to deal with this pressure' then calling like 8 screens in a row. Deciding we need to take more shots deep, so you take shots deep with immense pressure in your face but don't deal with it. Giving Byron Bell no help. Dude is poo in pass blocking against legit DEs. You can get away with Byron Bell vs Ray Edwards, but Mario Williams almost broke a single season sack record with Houston. that poo aint gonna fly.

 

It just reeks of sticking to a gameplan that isn't gonna work and having nothing to compensate for it when it fell apart.

I am done.  They wanted to start fast, said it, needed it and here they are at 0-2... AGAIN.  

 

That run play on 3rd and 5 was a killer for me.  You get the first down, and game is over.  Instead we have to suffer for another team just shoving it down our throats to win. 

 

FIRE RIVERA.. it wont happen and like an ass I will be there next Sunday thinking this team can win.  I cant believe we sit here and another season is lost again, already, in week 2.

Luke PI......who could have predicted that as the game changer.

 

I am stunned.

 

My feeling,  'you play to win the game'.

 

When the game at the pro level is not played that way it is almost impossible to be mistake free.

 

It's easy to say one play changed the game, no, in this case, a philosophy changed the game.

 

This team has not 3 offensive plays it can make definitively.

 

It does not know what it is, at all.

 

This coaching staff took the QB and neutered him...think about it, for 2 years an offensive juggernaunt and now he can't complete a pass.

 

Come on Rivera and Shula, give them credit for that effort.  They managed to do what could not be done for 2 years in the pros and in his senior year at Auburn.

 

Newton as I said in another thread is part of the problem yes but he sure as hell isn't getting any help in play calling.

 

He also isn't getting any help by being coddled either.  Its year 3.  Time to grow up and make the right reads and/or throw the ball away.

 

That's how I feel.

    • CJ Stroud going to flame out if he doesn't watch out..
    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
