Have you learned Daboll? At long last, have you learned? (not to abandon the run)

[Freddie's Dead]

Have you finally learned to run the ball?  Have you finally learned not to abandon the run down only two scores in the first half?  Have you finally learned that LeSean McCoy is your best offensive player and not Josh Allen?  Have you finally learned that your defense is good enough to keep you in games if you don't go three and out with pass, pass, pass, punt?  You finally called more runs than passes, 43 to 19.  You finally leaned on your future HOF RB instead of your raw rookie QB.  But HAVE YOU LEARNED?  Keep running the football.  Don't allow an aberration like the Vikings game think you can saddle up the kid.  Use McCoy and Ivory and let JA develop without putting so much pressure on him.  You found the winning formula today, don't deviate.

Our first drive was great, I like all the quick hitting rub plays, marched down the field. But then Daboll decided "hey that worked TOO good, lets not do that anymore," and it went to more runs up the gut and occasional hook routes

[Boatdrinks]

I’d love if he didn’t call a run on almost every first down though 

[Ray Finkel]

Has he learned to keep Shady on the field for 3rd down.  He was taking him off the field every 3rd down until the last Drive when shady made a big play on 3rd.

[1st Ammendment NoMas]

I'm with you. Loved the first drive. He mixed it up fine, then went full retard for awhile before finally getting it right. Great call on the Ray Ray screen. Run the thunder and lightning and mix it up, be unpredictable but play to your strengths.

[McNubbins]

It's hard to commit to the run when you're playing from behind, but yes, it was nice to stick to it today.

[Warcodered]

I loved that first play even if it didn't work.

[Domdab99]

He's only running the ball because Josh has no one to throw to.

.....223 total yards offense don't win many games in a 16 game season.

Good take.  Always frustrating when coaches are afraid to call the same play twice, even though its the right thing to do.  The quick rub play is unbeatable when done correctly, but Daboll got away from it after the first drive.  Could have cost us the game.

I think I've learned Daboll. Have you learned Daboll?

I got freakin ripped on for posting a FIRE DABOLL thread and saying the same exact thing.

[Freddie's Dead]

Doopp and the Bullfrog talking post-game about how we're dinosaurs for running the football, and we need JA to throw, throw, throw.  Idiots.

It's  kind of hard to keep Ivory off the field ,no?

True that, although that was a pretty stout defense we are against today.

[McBean]

We do what we did today on offense and we win tops one more game.

 

Running doesn’t win games in the NFL. Not to mention the Titans gave us the ball 3 times.

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

...just not convinced he has the the ability to adjust on the fly.......if film study says game plan is 60/40 run, can he adjust to 40/60 based on what defense is giving him initially?....not sure and maybe being OC is a learning process for him........sure, discount his ability for lack of quality personnel, but don't the good coaches adjust to what they have to work with regardless of intended scheme?....Schwartz did it with good success....he is inconsistent......Shady gets 25 carries today, but 7 last week against a suspect Pettine run defense....sure he was injured, but we did just fine the week before with multiple contributors......

Earlier in the game we were not making first downs on 3 rd down.

[Kelly the Dog]

We played at home, we started out running pretty well though, and our defense played lights out plus got a few turnovers. It's 3x easier to commit to the run when any of those four things happen.
