Merged: What happened to running the football / Offensive Playcalling

[dkenned1]

What happened to running the football?

Two of the best RB's in the game, and our rush/pass ratio is 13/24

why why why?????????

Look at the time of possession is almost 2:1 in favor of the chiefs.

No wonder the D is tired, we need to control the clock and stop throwing it!!!!!:fire: :fire:

You're not going to get me to disagree. I'm always championing the rushing attempt stat in regard to likelihood of victory. For some reason we ignore the running game early every week and allow the opposition to gain a big lead in rushing attempts. Ronnie has maybe 9 or 10 carries into the 4th quarter. The last drive we threw the ball on 2nd and 1 and 3rd and 1 and it turned into a punt.

To add insult to injury - 3rd and 1 and Gus throws a deep pass to everyone's surprise - incomplete to Chambers!

Just get the damn 1st down! There is (was) still time to make something happen!

Linehan why only 14 Rushing attempts?

Geez LInehan you got a double barrled shotgun in the backfield use it next game!

Suspect playcalling.

How can you be 2nd and 1 inside your own 30 and throw on 2nd and then try to throw a bomb on 3rd down when you have a beast in the backfield in Ronnie Brown?

Linehan: I love your "Explosive" offense

let Ronnie run the ball 8 times for 95 yards and then Throw bombs with the most inaccurate QB in NFL history 26 times.

2nd and 1 and we throw two bombs and punt.

 

[AZfinfan]

poor play calling IMO very very poor

 

[PALMA]

Saban needs to be breathing down Linehan's back and force him to call some running plays. If not, we will lose every game we refuse to make a commitment to the run. Ronnie needs to rush at least 25 times a game. He's not getting any younger and probably is in his prime right now. I'm so pissed with this offensive philosphy.

 

[ZachKC]

Best RBs in the league? Who are you talking about?

 

[Dors156]

linehan is just terrible.You got ronnie having a possible career game and we give it to him not even 20 times.If ronnie would have 25 car. in this game he would have 130 yds and 2tds but no not for linehan.

 

[AtticusFinz]

2nd and 1 and we throw two bombs and punt.

I thought id never say this but i wish we wold play a little more conservetive.

:fire: :fire: :yell: :yell: He needs to go back to Minny :yell: :yell:

 

[phinfan2003]

Bring back Foerster!! At least you knew you'd probably find some good porn on his computer!

2nd and 1 and we throw two bombs and punt.

It was odd was'nt it...

I wanted the playbook opened up a little but sheesh....this is a little crazy.

Linehan has to step back and realize that his buddy Gus is just not good.
