Three more failed "trick" plays

[Ebenezer]

1. Flea Flicker that nobody bought on and DB threw short to prevent the sack.

2. End around on the punt return that nobody bought.

3. QB sneak from the 6?? DB couldn't outrun me to the end zone on that play. They stretched the Def and the MLB stood there and never bit on the motion, daring them to run the QB draw.


IF you have to trick the other team then you know you cannot perform...or you think you are smarter than the average NFL coach...new flash!!! Dom Capers (and Bill Parcells) have better resumes than GW.

Another firable offense

We were doing stupid trick/bunch formations all game. It's the freaking WCO again. And Neufeld at FB OVER AND OVER AND OVER??? Why did we even sign Sam Gash?

No he didn't but on 2nd and 2 Gash should be in the game. As well as Neuefeld blocked, Gash does it better. I didn't mind the QB sneak that much, but the rest of the play calling just stunk. With the way Henry was running we still decided to pass on every third down. Again, picking some sort of screen play on several of those 3rd downs. I honestly think that Gilbride may be the worst OC in all of football. There are teams worse than us but they're not nearly as talented and there are teams better than us who aren't nearly as talented. The time out called before a short field goal really irked me. Lindell was obviously having a bad day. Why on earth would you call time knowing that more time to think about the kick is the last thing he needs? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

The SNAPPER was having a bad game. If we had kept Albright (Tom Donahoe decision, year 1) this kind of thing would not have occured.

Its sad to see a team like Cincinatti (good in thier own respect) at 5-5, when a team like us, who is 4-6 and a much better team. Jesus, we barely beat Cincy at that...I don't get it. Gilbride is making a joke out of this years team...so sad

Drew changed 5 3rd and short running plays to a passing play at the line. End result? 1 of 5 and 1 of 6 passing on 3rd and short overall.

Correct me if Im wrong, but on this if he had handed it off, whoever it was going too would have been gone up the sideline cause he had the whole sideline with blockers. No im not sure who it was cause I was at the stadium and didnt pay attention at the time, so maybe those of you watched it on TV could tell me, if it wasnt for Brown being tackles right away did it seem as if he was going to hand it off, or was it a fake???
