If you can cry about the lack of execution from the players then the same can be said about the [BLEEP] play caller putting said [BLEEP] players in a highly unfavorable play call.
The only thing [BLEEP] stupid here is your dog [BLEEP] attitude and dog [BLEEP] take and defense of a bad call that had a very predictable outcome based on how the day had unfolded in pass protection prior to that play.
Lighten the [BLEEP] up. He has a valid point. If I am playing defense there and I can see the QB 5 yards deep in his own endzone in shotgun? And I have MYLES [BLEEP] GARRETT lined up next to me? My job and assignment just got a whole hell of a lot easier there.
Just like when that whole Darnold to Jefferson play was referenced in this thread to use as justification to call out execution. They weren't even the same formations, concepts nor situations.
It was in the 1st half, under center with a play action element baked into the play. What did that concept allow smart [BLEEP] that our situation and concept didn't?
The element of guess work. QB's back is turned briefly. RB could get it. He's selling it to him either way. None of that happens in shotgun. I can already see your stupid [BLEEP] hands in front of me so there is no element of surprise or ability to freeze anybody to make a play develop a .5 second or two longer.
Get off your [BLEEP] high horse. God forbid a mod take a [BLEEP] L around here.

It was a good call. Damn near worked to perfection.
If the LG/C could combine to block one guy it's either a TD or a first down in FG range.
They bungled that blocking assignment - so here we are raging about it.
I don't mind aggressive play-calling. I hope to see more of it.
Crazy how much whining there was here last year with fans BEGGING for more downfield passing, play action, less dink and dunk etc.
Now it's the devil because we had the audacity to try it backed up to our end zone.
It was an unconventional call but I like it. You don't. Great.
But the NFL is all about situational calls, plays, recognition, and execution. That was one of Bill Bellicheck's mantras along with do your job. Putting all the player through every situation mentally so they were prepared to face them in game.
If anything that is what this team has repeatedly failed at over the past 2 seasons, from multiple different players, coaches, and FO staff. And the play call at that moment seems reflective of that disconnect. You can definitely be aggressive, but some of us feel that was the situationally a wrong moment for to go balls to the wall.
On top of that, they were aggressive on that play but the play designs/scheme didn't have enough fudge factor to work unless every does their jobs perfectly there. The other team gets paid too, so cannot just expect all the things to fall in your favor. You cannot just say block Miles Garret when he is on the short list for best player in the NFL. You have to expect for "when Garret gets pressure how can the blocking be set up so we still have time for the play to work"? So to run that play but have no chip help on Garrett when you know T-Law needs time and won't have space, or not design it so the pocket moves a bit to buy some time makes it feel even more frustrating. Or recognize that at the 2 yard line, you cannot block him or others well enough to have that time because of the limited pocket space.
