Virgil Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 During the Monday Night game between the Seahawks and 49ers, the Seahawks had multiple drives at the end of the game where the were in 3rd and less than 5. They’d bring our 3-4 receivers and had decent runs on each drive. Moreso, they gave Wilson who can scramble well. On one of the plays, they ran the same fade route play that we did at the end of our game. Another one, they took a shot to DK deep. Basically, the Seahawks ran the same type of plays that the Bills were calling that had many of us, myself included, flipping out. Maybe this is analytics or just the modern NFL, I don’t know. But I just don’t understand these low percentage plays when the game is on the line and you have other things that are working for you. Wilson is an MVP candidate right now, so his passes were at least contested on the throws, but still. They convert on either of those 3rd downs and maybe the game ends sooner. Either way, it leads me to agree with some of you on here that Daboll does call a modern offense, but it’s not one that fits our talent. Last night was just interesting to see and gave me flashbacks to Sunday 9

Sometimes it just doesn't work out. It happens. 3
BringBackOrton Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Maybe, just maybe, the real difference between an OC that looks good and one that doesn’t is the quality of the QB. 7 1

Last night was just interesting to see and gave me flashbacks to Sunday It didn't seem as odd with a guy like Wilson back there. I think what really went into it though, is the turnovers in the ground game. I think Caroll would rather lose at Russ' hand than Carson/other back I can't remember fumbling the ball away in a critical moment.

But that’s my point. Don’t call plays for someone like Wilson. We have Allen who struggles with the deep ball right now and you signed Beasley for those types of situations. 3

And yet, prior to last game, Allen showed that he would mostly ignore Beasley this season. Not sure if it’s trust or what, but he has never been Allen’s go to target.

On 1st, 2nd, or a longer 3rd down attempt, that is the read, and you make the play. On 3rd and 4 given the time in the game, you need to be ready to keep the sticks moving, not just make the standard read.

But, I think we have to have some faith in our second year quarterback, who was always a project, to improve and to learn from these mistakes. A lot of us have been surprised by elements of Josh’s game that have improved this year and elements that have regressed, such as the long ball. An area where we haven’t seen enough improvement is the quick reads that you see the truly elite quarterbacks get and succeed at. It’s tough to preach patience when you have a team at six and three, but not having patience with a talent as tantalizing as Josh is going to cost us too much. I want him to be great as much as the next guy, and he still may be, but dwelling on the negative’s isn’t helping.

A good one can make a difference. There’s definitely an art to it, and some are just much better than others. Wilson is a superior QB, but even that can’t always bail out a bad strategy. Allen isn’t playing at a level to succeed with a mediocre scheme just yet. I hope he can improve, but in the meantime I don’t think he can overcome Daboll’s lackluster game plans. 1
Scott7975 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Remember when Seattle lost a super bowl because they decided to throw the ball instead of giving the ball to Lynch?

While true, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to question what Daboll is doing without reaming into Allen every single time we do it - it's its own issue independent of quarterback. We can also have a discussion about where Allen falls short. Two discussions are allowed. More, even.

On that third and short play in OT, the RB *clearly* got the first down. It was a terrible spot.
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 I paid attention to the Seattle punt with 130 left in OT. Playing for a tie and they got bailed out
krf139 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 I also noticed how dominant the defensive lines on both teams were getting pressure from the edge and up the middle. Made me realize just how far off we are from that.
