Is the real problem that Linehan is playing NFC ball still. I am not bashing him I think we were really lucky to get an OC like that. So hear me out.
The NFC is more of a passing league. In the AFC is all about ball control. You saw it in tonights game (which I didnt get to see myself). Of course the Chiefs were going to beat us when they had 79 offensive plays! That is 41:40 in TOP. Alot of this probably has to do with the fact that we didnt convert on third downs and got behind in the second half, but Linehan has always been less concerned with time of possession even in Minnesota. I truely believe he is a good OC and throwing on 2nd and 1 and 3rd and 1 would not have been bad calls at all if the plays were executed correctly. He is a good OC but maybe this will be a clue for him to start utilizing the running game more when Gus Frerotte is the QB.
