Redzone Play Calling

[PECKERWOOD]

Can anybody understand our play calling in the red zone? We beat San Fran statistically in almost every category other than TOP. I remember one drive specifically where Jackson took it to the 2nd yard line and then our next two plays we passed the ball our smallest WR (Roscoe Parrish) and then we passed the ball to Josh Reed who was covered by San Frans best player on defense (Nate Clements). When we get to the goal line, do we just all of a sudden forget that we have one of the most powerful RB's in the NFL? Umm, Beastmode had over 130 yards off of 16 rushes and you're NOT going to give him a **** to take it in?????????????? Furthermore, we got this WR who is 6'5 and when you're in the redzone, HE NEEDS TO BE ON THE FIELD. I don't care how freaking sloppy of a route Hardy runs, lob the ball up there where only he has a shot at it and let him come down with it.

The coaches play to much madden on the xbox they think they can call dumb ass plays anytime.

Re: Redzone Play Calling

we actually beat them in TOP too. It was extremely close- 30:30 to 29:30, but we still technically beat them. Considering that they opened with an 8 minute drive, it means we beat them by 9 minutes in TOP over the final 52 minutes of the game in which they were held to 3 points.

we also beat the browns and jets in TOP.


Dick philosophy of ball control is so important to him that he's forgotten the most important thing, score points. This is why I think Dick must go. He loves ball control so much that he ends up having to keep the game close and try to win it in the end.

Ball control is fine as long as you have a potent O that can score if they have to.


Just when I thought he learned how step on peoples throats vs. KC, he regressed back to his old self of playing not to lose with TOP.

Not to mention the way he consistently burns time outs makes it even harder to win the game at the end.
