yes. this style of play does work, but has little to no margin of error. and contrary to popular belief the run wasnt abandoned it was just stuffed. that will happen to a run game every now and then.

I would agree with this if we had more than 5 run plays in the second half. If we had, say, 15 runs for 20 yards, I'd be more inclined to agree. As it stands the run was indeed abandoned, as evident by the number of running plays ran. Regardless of whether these 4-5 plays got one yard a peice, it was abandoned no matter how you look at it.

As much as I hate Foxball yesterday that was not it. We played horrible on Defense allowing the passing game to tear us a new one and on Offense we passed way more then we ran the ball. Basically it was the opposite of Foxball.

....end of thread....

I agree. That was not Foxball (which I also hate). We didn't play Foxball last year either. If Fox had actually stuck with Foxball last season we would have made the playoffs.

Foxball has evolved. It now just means being bad at your job. Fox had the perfect roster for Foxball last season.....and instead wanted Jake to be a bigger part of games than he needed. Only 15 more Fox games left.

It's amazing to me, that early on we stuck with Fox's plan. We stuck with short passes, trying to drain the clock and giving our defense time to rest --- allowing us to to go into the second half, actually winning!!!

Then they tried to get fancy, they tried to toss the ball around and what happened? The plan fell apart and we lost.

I think some teams want to see the Warner and the Rams out there, dropping 50 a game! It won't happen! We are a boring because that is just the system that we developed. We run, run, run all day. It's slow, it's unexciting, it's boring, but it works. When we try to please the fans and get fancy and try to throw bombs or deep balls, nobody is happy.

Play-calling has to be our #1 focus.

It was execution problems yesterday. Not John Fox problems. Check downs were ignored. Assignments were missed. Piss poor play calling.

that is what Fox likes to say, to blame it on execution. If the Colts opt to take Manning and passing game out of play and pound the rock all game....they aren't going to produce. Now, you could counter and just say they aren't executing the running game well........and I guess that would be true. However, they aren't built to run....they are built to pass. It would simply be horrific coaching on Indy's part. Playing to there weakness....and when you try to make your weakness your bread and butter huge mistakes are always going to happen.

      Freddie is the Road Warrior. It's not his fault that we can't score.  We are known for taking more shots. We tried less. That and bad luck killed us.THROW THE PUCK AT THE NET.

      The problem is that if you don't have a fully settled QB of the future, you can't take him because it's just going to create a distraction that your young QB doesn't need while you're seeing if they can be your guy.  Then you also can't take him if you have just a full on legit starting QB because Shedeur likely isn't going to sit well with knowing he has no path to playing either. Realistically at this point, only the Rams, Steelers, or maybe the Raiders make sense to take him, anyone else and it just seems like trouble waiting to happen. With the Rams and Steelers, assuming Rodgers ends up there, it would be where he knows he's going to sit for 1 year and then get the chance to take over while learning from a HOFer.  That's a situation I don't think the Sanders family would have an issue with, especially at this point.   The Raiders would be a little similar, but he could get stuck behind Geno for more than just one year.  And think about it, do you really want a frustrated Shedeur living in Las Vegas?   Beyond those 3 teams, I really can't see a situation that is going to not have all sorts of crazy media around it.... so the Cowboys will probably take him, because of course that will happen. In a way, it's Kaepernick all over again.  The media distraction that is going to come with him, especially at this point, isn't worth dealing with for a backup QB. Once the Giants and Saints went with different QB's, it really set this up to happen.
