That's it. I'm freaking done with these idiots.

Yeah, that's what happened all year. Our O-line, fullback, and Dunn getting physically manhandled.

It's hard to call plays when the players get their ass kicked physically on most downs.

At that point in the game they were expecting a run. We should have either play actioned or rolled Croyle out to throw a pass which he did a good job of during the game.

You could start by recognizing the fact and stop trying to run it up the middle on first down EVERY TIME.

What's the quote about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome?

But if we throw it we expose the horrible pass blocking. And the results of bad blocking on passes are much worse! Remember the 3rd quarter of the Broncos game. There's a risk/reward calculation here.

So instead we almost always run it on 1st and 2nd downs which leads to almost always throwing it on 3rd down. Which leads to the D teeing up on us on 3rd down passing situations which makes our pass blocking all that much worse. Yep, makes sense to me.

Thus....the dreaded draw!

There's really no good options when you're getting your ass beat physically.

But we still were close to being only the 3rd team to win a meaningful game in that place in the last 3 years, and the other two were Super Bowl Champs and they won close.

Today is the first time in almost 15 years that I missed an entire game. I saw the last 4 minutes but that doesn't count. Couldn't find it ANYWHERE on the internet. I just assumed you were all melting down and overreacting as usual. Coming from Rain Man, I'll believe it. Hopefully Gochiefs will post the torrent this week and I'll see it yet.

Here's a crappy version someone already posted. It's 600 MB so it looks like crap I imagine.

Be prepared to see more Draw plays than you've ever seen in one game. I still can't believe how many times we ran that play today.
