Quote:First... an offense is not successful if it only takes what the defense gives them. Every now & then, you got to take what you want. 

 

But anyway, I decided to go back & look at the play-by-play of your game against Chicago. Looking at the first 12 plays, looks like the plan, the script work pretty good until ARob batted the ball in the air. 12 plays, 84 yards... not bad at all. 

 

Against the Colts, the first series was a 3 & out. A 4 yard run by Yeldon, an incomplete pass to the TE. & a two yard scramble. I'd have to watch the game (which I didn't) to determine if your QB was making good decisions. Doesn't look like it. However, the second series went for 5 plays, 24 yards & a TD. It started with an incomplete pass to the RB. The obligatory run after an incompletion for 10 yards on 2nd down. Holding penalty. QB scramble, 15 yard run on 2nd down, 3 yard TD pass to the guy ruining my fantasy team. All of these plays should have been in the 15 scripted plays. 

 

Baltimore starts with a 3 & out. Incomplete pass, run for 3 yards, incomplete pass. 2nd series 5 plays 15 yards punt. There was a negative run, Chris Ivory getting stuffed for a -2 yards. One incomplete pass. Again, I'd need to see the timing on that pass, the location of the throw, the route ran, where the defender is. 

 

Still, I don't think the problem is the scripting. QB has to make good decisions. Like that run that was stuffed.... was that an obvious situation where the QB should have checked out of the play? Adjusted the blocking? Should the RB cut it back?

 

& the guys on the other side of the ball get paid too. 

 

IMO, it's silly to worry too much about scripting & not scoring on the first possession. To me, it's more about getting my QB comfortable, in a rhythm, & feeling out the defense. If those things aren't happening & your offensive coordinators haven't figured the defense out until it's too late, that's what I'd complain about. 

 

But that's just me.
