Third String But Playing on Special Teams

Default Josh McDaniels

I've been maybe more critical of him all year than anyone else, but in spite of the score, I thought he called a great game and the offense just didn't execute. Quite frankly, this offense is outmatched without Gronk and with Deion Branch as the 3rd best receiver on the team and no amount of coaching can overcome that. McDaniels had several great play calls where the Ravens over-pursued and the offense either didn't execute or got a lot less yards than they could have.

Obviously the offense has major holes that need to be addressed and I'm on the we need a real #1 receiver bandwagon as much as anybody, but McDaniels got progressively better during the year and I think having him next year with 2012 back in New England under his belt is something to look forward to. The running game is better than it's been in years, and the offense was elite this year in spite of the fact it's only real physical advantage over other teams (Gronknandez) wasn't healthy all year. I would love to see what he can do with a healthy Gronknandez and a #1 receiver opposite Lloyd next year.

While I do feel the Pats could use a legitimate #1 receiver, I really believe they have one of the most well balanced offenses in the NFL. The reason your team lost tonight was the defense's inability to adjust once the Ravens decided to air it out after halftime. Relax - the offense is fine.

The defense's inability to adjust has nothing to do with the fact New England only scored 13 points and 0 points in the 2nd half. If you watched that game and thought New England's offense looked fine then you should climb back into your mother's birth canal after handing her a clothes hanger.

It's now 3 years in a row where the offense fell flat on its face because the other team's defense jammed up the middle of the field and made Brady beat them by throwing it outside. I really don't know what to say to anyone who watched the 2010 Jets game, 2011 Giants (or Ravens) game, and 2012 Ravens game and didn't see a reoccurring theme with the offense

Anywho, this thread is about Josh McDaniels. I thought he did a good job calling plays and was wondering what other people thought.

That seems rather harsh.

I'm pretty sure he's Ravens fan, so it really wasn't harsh given he cheers for a team that embraces murder.

When the success of your offense largely depends on it's ability to out scheme opponents, getting shutout in the second half and only scoring 13 overall is all you need to know whether McD did a good job or not.

The Patriots scored 13 points and were shut out in the second half. The necessary adjustments were not made. I disagree with your initial statement about McDaniels calling a good game on that alone.

What adjustments do you think he should make? There's really nothing a coach can do to prepare for a receiver dropping a pass on 3rd down that hits him right in the chest.

There was very few screens called throughout the entire game, the use of the snap count was reasonably poor and the choice of 3rd down play selection was average at best. Vereen was used far too sparingly. The list is long and distinguished.

As for receivers dropping passes, I wholeheartedly agree. Brady missed a plethora of wide open receivers. Connect on those then who knows. The fact remains that the Patriots allowed the game to get away from them. That's on D and the O.

It didn't seem like the coaches had a grasp on the flow of the game after half time.

That's more of an indictment on the talent than it is on the coaching. Scheming can only get you so far with inferior talent. The fact Baltimore had a weapon in Boldin who didn't need great scheming to be productive and New England didn't isn't McDaniels' fault.

What do you think he should have done differently?
