Default Belichick needs to call the plays on offense for rest of season

This Bill O'brien experiment has now failed. the pats look much better with BB calling the plays. With Josh, he never had to worry about the offense. Now, he does. O'Brien (or whoever was calling the plays yesterday) has proved he can't call plays. I couldn't figure out why we ran the ball so much. was it the altitude?

Five games into his tenure of calling plays and you say it failed? Really?!? Look at some of the play calling early in 2005 with a healthy Brady and you saw uneven play calling. It takes time for a new OC to get used to it just like any rookie.

BTW, how is it O'Brien's fault that Brady missed both a wide open Moss and Welker for what would have been one definitely TD and another probable TD? If Brady connected on those two plays that were well designed and called perfectly to exploit a Broncos, weakness. People wouldn't be crying about the play calling right now and the Pats would have scored 28 points.

Not to mention other passes, like the sideline to Moss that was too high by about 2 feet. Playcalling on offense is moot until the QB executes the throws.

no, BB called the plays in the last two games if I'm not mistaken. O'Brien was calling the plays in the Bills, Jets and Broncos games. our offense was anemic against the jets and broncos. i'm just saying that it appears that we are better off with BB calling offensive plays. We can't afford to lose any more games. the jets are actually pretty decent this year and the division is not ours for the taking.

mike reiss seems to think Deen Pees is an excellent coordinator. I do think that the offense and defense lacks that killer instinct they had under Weis and Crennel. Case in point - Super Bowl 42. We couldn't stop Eli on the biggest drive of the year. We couldn't score one more TD in that game to knock the giants out.

I actually had no problem with the amount of times that we ran the ball yesterday. I just thought that it would have been better if we switched up WHEN they were called. I wasn't a big fan of passing it on first and second down then running it on third down to try to pick up four. I would have liked to see two early runs on first and second down then a throw.

I wouldn't mind seeing BB take over the defensive play calling though.

Jesus Christ. Super Bowl XLII was almost two years ago. We're in a new season now. Get over it.

i'm not complaining about the super bowl, but i see the same trends on offense and defense THIS YEAR. you got to knock your opponent out. can't keep them around in the fourth quarter.
