We had 1st and goal from the 6 yard line towards the end of the 1st half and Robinson never saw the field again until the 3rd qtr. Obvious passing situation? Third down? That brilliant decision and trust in Thompson by your lover boy Gruden ended with zero points.

The only thing making that an obvious passing situation was the fact Thompson being out there.

The fact that you argument is now based on having to pretend to pretend that Thompson is only out there on third downs or obvious passing situations just shows that you that you fallen flat on your face in this argument. Will just chalk that up to never having a factual argument in the first place.

Enjoy your ignorance. You must be a very blissful person. Lol!

Oops....  I must have hit a nerve.  You're getting emotional again.  

First, I never said he is "only" out there on 3rd downs, I said the "majority" of the time.  Pay attention to the details my man.  There are other obvious passing situations that come up during a game on 1st or 2nd down as well, like trailing by 2 scores in the 2nd half (which we have had more than our fair share of).  One thing that escapes your lack of Football IQ is that we have a rookie starting at running back that had zero OTA reps.  The hardest part of being a rookie running back is NOT carrying the ball, its pass protection.  Clearly Gruden understands this and does not want the kid on the field in more obvious passing situations because he wants to keep Minshew's head on his shoulders... something your enlightened self does not quite understand.  BTW, we ran it with Thompson on 2nd and Goal from the 6 for a 3 yard gain... did you like that?

And I have been crystal clear that I don't like Gruden and his play-calling at times is brutal.  And I even agree with your assessment in certain situations, that I mentioned in earlier posts.  I will be happy when this entire FO and coaching staff is released at season's end.

But your child-like football logic is just embarrassing to witness.  So far, you ingenious arguments have included:  a) defending how a 3.7 YPC average is "excellent" because its equal to the Buffalo Bills 29th ranked rushing attack; b) claiming our offense only averages 15 rushes per game, something a 12-year old with Google can disprove in 5 seconds; c) that you have cracked the DaVinci Code and deciphered when Thompson is on the field we are passing, when the MAJORITY of the time it is an obvious passing down anyway; and d) you assume that Thompson is on the field for passing downs purely to be a receiving threat.  lmao  I look forward to another emotional reply!

You can keep on deluding yourself with the the idea that Gruden hasn't been getting heavily criticized for not running the ball enough and quitting on the run despite the fact that he himself has admitted he needs to give Robinson many more carries even though he continues to pull him for Thompson in run situations letting the defense know there is no run threat in the backfield.

You can keep on deluding yourself that Robinson didn't come out of college considered a good pass blocking back or the fact that he has yet to be credited for missing a block in pass protection.

You can keep on deluding yourself that Thompson is a better receiving option than than Robinson even though he has been far less productive and has had far fewer impact plays than Robinson catching the ball.

You can keep on deluding yourself that Gruden's use of Thompson has had any meaningful results outside of letting the defense know to prepare for a pass play.

You can keep deluding yourself that defenses haven't picked up on Gruden's trends or that he is being out coached defenses with glaring weaknesses that any competent OC would attack not avoid.

You can also keep deluding yourself that I am the emotional one while you post emojis like a jilted little school girl.
