The difference is the formation. Darnold was under center and play action was used. It gave his line enough time to buy with somewhat of an element of guess work there.

We went gun, 5 yards deep in our own endzone and no play action at all. Again, two things can be true at once guys.

The call and concept can be [BLEEP] just like the player's performances. Why would you even attempt that knowing he was sacked 3x earlier before then and he had a fumble that we thankfully recovered?

We have a problem. Not just with personnel. It's also coaching. It was 1st and 10. There was no reason to go for that there. It's just bad decision making from the staff. Stop defending amateur hour coaching decisions.

These guys know what they have up front better than we do. They clearly see the same issues we do. Simplification was needed there. Not a [BLEEP] play call that you would normally make from the 50 yard line after a decent run or two was chained together.

And yet, the call and concept were, again, perfect for the situation. So what that they went gun with no bells and whistles and blah blah blah. None of that mattered because everything about the play was perfect except for a distinct and obvious failure by one player who destroyed the entire thing, and it was a guy who was part of a [BLEEP] double team. That you're still trying to blame play calling for that is unreasonable, none of those things you mentioned would've prevented Cleveland from screaming "Ole`" as Wright ran right the [BLEEP] by him. BTj had two steps by his man; had the block happened the play is likely a touchdown and we're all ecstatic about how wonderfully drawn up that play was and what a great aggressive call our incredible Head Coach made. Instead we #becauseoline'd our way to a safety instead.
