I said it in the game chat as well, but that is a play you call when you are trying to gain momentum. When you are reeling and you want a spark.
That is a play you call in the first half, for example - when we looked lost.
That is not a play you call when you have all the momentum and are driving to hopefully come within four or five points of the lead.
Aside from that one abomination of a play call, the rest of the game was an absolute unmitigated disaster of play calls as well. I recall second and shorts, like second and two, that were begging for a play action pass against a stacked box for big chunks. Instead, we ran straight into that stacked box.
And also, what is up with all of the 2 yard quick hitter, wide receiver screens?
