What the hell were we trying to accomplish with that? Waste a down? We ended up kicking a field goal there. It's one of the basic tenets of an anti-spread offense, duh. Quote Link to comment

Now a play action with a TE releasing would make sense there. Couple that with the fact that during one drive we had 3 carries for over 40 yards and then we hoist up a 30 yard bomb to a 3rd string walk on WR instead of handing the damn thing off of getting the ball to a playmaker (neither JD Spielman or DPE were in the game on this play). The line was finally starting to make some holes, and we literally call a play that puts them on their heels and stifles the aggressiveness. I just don't get it. Quote Link to comment
