Some of our long TDs were thrown from 3rd and manageable. This is just my own theory, but seems like the greats (and to be clear, we aren't there yet) will not hesitate to go for the low percentage deep ball even when they MUST have the completion.

This is a polar opposite to what we have been used to...3rd and 10? Throw it 6 yards for the sure completion! I'm all for dink and dunk to go down the field, but nice to see opportunities taken advantage of.

TL;DR: Twice this game, when we had to have it, we had the confidence to go deep instead of go limp.

It's great to see in our offense for sure.

Who says McDaniel can't call plays?

Very good point. Throwing short of the sticks used to be a major part of our playbook.

we'd throw short of the sticks all the time in the past.....this is a real offense.
 
@Danny @ForksPhin the whole short of sticks thing may have been the most maddening aspect of recent years. I had zero confidence on third downs. even before yesterday, this improved with Tuas arrival... at least expecting something more than failure, or worse, a sack fumble.

He has called 2 great games against a master schemer in Belichek and student of the game in Harbaugh. Every time they pan to him he is prepping for the next play. I couldn't be happier with him.

McDaniel will play to score while flores thought he could win every game 6-3
 
It's not that they throw low percentage balls. It's thar if they need the sticks they would rather force it beyond than take an underneath completion and punt.

To be more accurate, two TD were on blown coverages. The plays were there and we took them. The other two were against soft coverage but the throw to Mike G was probably the best of the game for Tua honestly. The others aside from the last were gimme TD's.

The first and last were just solid football. Especially the first long drive.
