While I understand that drops happen for a lot of team's, giving your $55M per year QB a whopping 21 pass attempts is not enough to see if he can make an impact or not. 7 run plays Vs. 1 pass play with 2 sacks on the last 3 drives reeks of failure to adjust and failure to do what was right, and that was, give your [BLEEP] QB the football and let him cook. 

The running game stalled out in the 4th quarter. They kept doing the same [BLEEP] and they were picking up 1 - 2 yards instead of 4 - 6 yards as they did previously. Just irks me. 

It's the wait that kills me as a fan. I know it's tougher on the players. I couldn't play in the NFL. I would feel like a mad bull behind the bars after every loss. I just want that [BLEEP] gate to swing open so I can go off on somebody. It's maddening man. Absolutely maddening. I would be Bobby Knight in that locker room throwing chairs across the floor. 

We had them! We let them off the hook! Now if you want to crown them?!?!?!? Then crown their [BLEEP]!!!! Now let's go get a [BLEEP] snack!

This is a good point, and, last year it was something that was silently effective for this offense. They relied heavily on Ridley to draw those PI's and it worked to our favor more than any other team in the NFL last year I believe. 

Just needed to see more of that. Again, 12/21 pass completions/pass attempts. 3 massive third down conversions dropped along with 3 sacks given up. Do the math, the kid was basically perfect if those [BLEEP] did their job's yesterday.

I agree that the last few drives were bad play calling.  The reason that number is so low is because we were 2 for 10 on 3rd downs.  I seen Strange out there but those few plays wasn't enough from the 2nd round pick.  It's year 2 for him now, I want to see more out of the 2nd round pick

You don't know if it was bad play calling, you only know that what you saw was ineffective. And I can't wait for Strange to catch a few passes so you can bellyache about him getting the ball instead of Davis or Junior. There's now five wideouts, two tight ends, and two running backs on this team to feed the ball, if they don't spread it around then someone is getting left out. And if they spread it around someone isn't getting enough targets. That's the beauty of being in your seat, you can always find something to complain about.
