on 4th and goal from the 1????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
 
The horrible thing is, I knew we were gonna do it. I was like, please just run it or QB sneak it. Don't. do. a. fade..........oh dear.
 
Made sense to me. Marshall likely drawing a double, and we had just tried him at the goal line and came up empty. They were probably expecting reggie, too. marshall and Reggie probably work flats+inside releases, so we tried a sideline pass to another guy.
 
Been a fan since the early seventies....that was the the most predictable, softest, tail between the legs play call I've scene.

Zero confidence in the run game.

Zero confidence in the O-line.
 
I dont really want to hear **** about Henning. That call was worse than any wildcat play or any other call ever made by Henning.

2 ft to go and you call a pass play that requires the ball travel about 15 yards and requires precision with your qb being Henne. Get real.

And where were Sparano's balls on that 4th where we kicked a FG? Why not run it on 3rd down from the 1 and a half. That way if you dont get it, you at least gain a half yard or yard or so and then run it on 4th. No sense in trying that pass play on 3rd down after Henne almost got picked on the 2nd down.

Our redzone calls made no sense in the 2nd half. And we have no goal line RB with Thomas injured. We needed Ricky.
 
Um that play call was a direct result of having no real runningback on the team.
That one, as well as the fact that our team looks totally one dimensional, is on the front office.

Click to expand...

But ask yourself this...from the half yard line, what has a better chance of working - a Henne sneak or him executing a timing pattern like that in the corner of the endzone? Play the percentages. I'd have like to see Bush go airborne.
 
Wow, we went from being a running team that threw a little, to a pass happy team that can not run.

Not only can't we move the pile n the running game, but we are so SOFT that we pass on the 1 yard line. That is pathetic.
 
If that is one of your go to plays on 4th down from the 1/2 yard line...............you know you have zero chance of doing jack this year.
