Don't you Remember Marty-Ball?? - Page 5

Didn't anyone on this BB watch Shottenheimer throw away the Chargers game last week with his locked-in, play it safe, Martyball? Going for Field Goals instead of touchdowns cost them the game against the Eagles, who go for it at all costs. I look for Philadelphia to do us another favor when they visit Denver this weekend. The Chiefs will open up a can of OFFENSE, and let the team of Vermeil and Cunningham teach their predecessor a lesson in when to use conservative playcalling. The films of the Chiefs' first six games won't tip their hand with regard to the offensive potential this team possesses. I have a feeling Mr. Martyball has been watching them over his shoulder since draft day.

In all actuality....passing the ball is what cost Marty and the chargers the game.....

With 8 min left in the game....Brees is passing (instead of a conservative play call)...and he's picked....led to 3 pts for Philly....

Then...with 1:57 left in the game and already down to philly's 37 yd line....Marty elects to NOT be conservative and play for the FG...and passes the ball to Caldwell, who runs it down to the 17...and fumbles the game away.

I'm not a charger fan, nor a Marty fan....but Marty is damned if he does, damned if he doesnt with his play calling....but this game certainly wasnt conservative....

Which game did you watch?

Sorry... but running the ball three times in a row lost the game in the end... not the interception. They had a chance to win and didn't push for it. They played to lose, and that's Martyball.

1-10-PHI30 (3:29) L.Tomlinson up the middle to PHI 28 for 2 yards
2-8-PHI28 (3:27) L.Tomlinson right end to PHI 23 for 5 yards
3-3-PHI23 (3:21) L.Tomlinson up the middle to PHI 22 for 1 yard

Exactly. That is the same old crapola he used to do in KC when he was here. 1st Down & 10: Let's run the ball up Grunnys azz. 2d Down and 8: Let's throw a screen pass behind the line of scrimmage and hope Anders can get some yards. 3rd and 7: Let's trick em and run the ball up Grunnys azz again....they'll never expect THAT. 4th and 6: Punt.
