Funchess just isn't that good right now.  We went to him late on 3rd down and he failed to shield the defender, let the defender get under him and break up the pass. Had that been KB, that would've been a 1st down. Instead, we had to settle for a FG. I know he had a ton of hype from the offseason and preseason, but tonight he looked like a JAG. I hope he can continue to develop, but right now our passing attack is still KB, Olsen, and please God someone else make a play every now and then to help out.

Play calling was not that bad. You have to run the ball to keep the D Honest and not let them just continue to blitz the poo out of you and headhunt your QB

A premier corner whose criminal investigation the league didn't want to usurp after taking our franchise DE away for 21 games.

It is what it is. Rookie KB vs. the best DBs in football at the time:

I still think Funchess can become a quality WR for us, but the rumors of him taking over KB's #1 role were greatly exaggerated. When you're a big WR, you have to understand how to use your strength and size to fend off DBs. Right now Funchess doesn't. He's a big guy who plays soft.

I don't know how you can be upset about play calling

I just want to know why on that third and one we don't use the QB sneak more. If little Brady can get a yard every time I'm sure Cam can.

Very disappointing since we were running it down their throat that drive.

God forbid we ask the rooks to press and potentially (likely) get beat from the veteran receivers off the LOS  they'll face this year. 

The rookies playing deep zones essentially kept this game from a potential blow-out. But yeah, they were pretty bad regardless.

Definitely see your point about press but honestly it's been going on for years I cringe every time I see my corners line up 7-10 off it's essentially a first down every time barring a personal mistake but thats cover 3 for you..... I know for sure Dave should be dumpster diving for a corner Monday morning or tonight if it were me

that 3rd and 1 bootleg is where everything turned..terrible fugging call..shula trying to get cute..Cam is 6'5 250, if you want to run him put him in shotgun and run him straight at the defense..he can't be stopped

Dude, you forgot the subbing Fozzy in for a beasting Stewart on 3rd and 1 to start the 2nd half and doing a dumbass Cam bootleg sweep. Talk about getting cute, I almost threw my tv out the damn window

Yeah, I thought maybe Stew was hurt or something. 

That third down play wreaked of chicken poo.  

[BigBoss]

You guys are dumb lol. We put up 23 on the number 1 defense( well blame gano) we had a 18 play 9 minute drive. Did expect 30? Give him better OT's than other and remmers and that might help

this 100%.  i knew we were in for it after that drive.  seen it too many times.  have a chance to put a team away and shula gets gimmicky when he doesn't need to.  

for one you don't run that play agains that defense.  even if cam gets the first it is still a stupid call.  we come out on the first drive of the 2nd and are ripping off 4, 5, and 6 yard runs.  they get in 3rd and 1 (stewart is gassed and comes out) and shula calls a bootleg that looks like it is run the whole way.  maybe whitaker (i think it was him) got blown up and was supposed to leak out.  who knows?  i think if you are going to run that, at the least let olsen run a flat route and draw a defender away from cam.   

shula has a tendency to see what's working and then go do something totally different like he is going to outsmart somebody.  the only person being outsmarted is himself.  even if it works it doesn't mean it is a sound play-call and that one happened to turn the tide of the game.  if we keep marching there and get 3 or 7, then the game is totally different.

Shula makes me so mad. Stewart was balling. Short drops and decently quick throws to Olsen and KB were working. Then all of a sudden we cant even get the ball out of Cam's hands. Our cam runs should have been pulling Stew as a blocker and running straight at Von not fugging 3rd and 1 bootlegs.

I could not understand why we didn't test them deep (if we did I certainly do not remember).  Why not turn Ginn lose on a go route or two.  Cam's longest pass play was 18 yards.
