I'm tired of the criticism of the playcalling

What the playcalling reveals to me is the total lack of confidence they have in JP.

Also it's hard to get any mix of plays in when we go 3 and out. Due to lousy passing.

Edwards knows how to make a logical progression when guys are covered. JP is a deer in the headlights.

JP can't even complete a screen pass.

I love how everyone blames the play calling, yet look what happens when we call high percentage plays? JP overthrows or underthrows his intended target. I was shocked he didn't get one of his WRs killed on the high balls.

I'm almost to the point where I'd rather see run run run punt than JP throw a pass. At least on 3 consecutive running plays, we might make a first down but we'd at least have more TOP and then maybe the defense wouldn't be dead tired come the 4th quarter.

If the field was a little wider Price would have had a TD pass.

why is it that when Willis moved to the ravens he's catching TDs now?

Hurricane, well then maybe Losman will have a successful career in the CFL.

They have to call a screen passes for one to be completed. They called one only and it went for good yardage. How about calling a quick slant once in while. If the LB keeps blitzing that means Evans is 1-1 underneath with the CB. Easy pass if they call it. The play calling was shocking and JP's comments confirmed it.

Why would you call a screen pass if he can't throw it?

that's a stupid excuse for the playcalling.

Seriously, I can understand why they would lack confidence in JP but at the same time, they need to put the players in the position to make plays. Call the plays and let JP sink or swim on his own. Don't hamstring an already struggling player and take away one of the few things he does well.

He has been able to throw it. He had one for good yardage in game 1 and another in game 2. But 2 in 2 games is all it was called and thats not enough.

As long as the defense kept us in the game, you can't call plays where JP gives up the stupid turnover.

I think Fairchilds overthinks things. He's starting to remind me of Moolarkey.

but calling the dink and dunk stuff wasn't working either. And they had no problem calling the big "all or nothing" play when the game was on the line against Denver. If they're willing to do it in that situation, there is no excuse for not calling it in the first quarter when it's 3-0 or 6-0.
