Quote:Damn right the end results.  I'm sorry that I'm just an IDIOT fan that doesn't know a freaking thing about football.  I do know that we had ONE good drive the entire game.  I also know we abandoned the running game in the 2nd half...a running game, mind you, that was successful in the first half and the Panthers were missing their MLB.

 

I'm not going to say I could call the plays, but I can make the observation that the play calls sucked.  If that was good play calling, call me the queen of England.

Whoa there, Sparky.

 

I didn't call you an idiot fan.  I didn't say you don't know anything about football.

 

I only make two assertions for the purposes of this discussion:

 

1.  Play calling is not the only reason an offense succeeds or fails, and may not even be the main reason.  Defensive coaches call plays.  If the offensive and defensive coaches call equally good plays for the down and distance, what happens then?

 

2.  There is far more to game planning and play calling than most fans, including myself, think or realize.

 

To me, is there an argument to be made that the team abandoned the run too soon?  Sure.

 

If it comes from a fan like us, might it be as informed an argument as the players on the team or the coaching staff?  No...probably not.
