Play calling vs execution - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

It's easier to people to blame the mostly out-of-sight coach they barely know as opposed to the player they revere.

Execution to me means not hitting the right open receiver, receivers not being where they are suppose to be, not blocking the right man, missed tackling, not being lined up correctly on D or losing the guy your suppose to be covering, not making the right reads on O OR D, and not committing avoidable penalties.

So what was it, play calling or poor execution. It could be a little of both but if you think poor execution is the main problem, then it can't be the play calling.

Can you please provide specific examples? I am going to do an in-depth analysis, and I have been thinking about this as one key element in the loss.

Specific examples of what? Poor play calling or poor execution?

This week it was clearly execution. If Brady hits his open WR's and Ghost doesn't miss an easy FG this game is not close.

Oh yeah also a miracle catch by Gaffney on a deflection led to 3 more Denver points. Can't blame that one on the coaches either.

The running game was not working too well in the second half so I would say predictable playcalling was in the mix with poor running resulting in the loss

Its way too difficult to chosse between one or the other.

Hit Moss on that play I make every day in my backyard, we win by 4. Guys are running open all over the place; the ball just isn't coming in like Brady usually zips it.

Brady can't come with a yard of a receiver in a long pattern, so the issue is of course execution, or is it.

Just perhaps the coaches should know what plays Brady is best at, GIVEN HIS CURRENT CONDITION, and should make game plans and play calls considering such. Plays that Brady cannot efficiently and consistently execute should be removed from the playbook until such time that Brady can execute those plays. Charlie and Josh understood this.
