Default Our offensive play calling...WTF? They using a random play generator?

The offensive gameplan makes no sense at all.

Dropping back for long throws on 3rd and short?

Trying to run multiple times in a row with a part-time back (Faulk) into an incredibly beefy run-stuffing Baltimore line while down 24-0?

Stupid dinky 0-yard screen passes that have never worked, will never work, and are just a complete waste of time?

It's like they're just pulling cards out of a hat and calling whatever plays are written on them.

Even if we didn't have Brady acting like a scared high-schooler (forced passes to no one down the center of the field while being pressured, refusing to run with no one in front of him and everyone covered, etc) we'd still be in big trouble.

Random would be better than this, we might actually surprise the Ravens once...

It's pretty clear the Ravens know what plays are coming. The announcers have even picked up on this and said it a couple of times.

The announcers said that in the interview with Lewis, he mentioned reviewing audio of Brady and knowing when Brady is faking audibles and knowing when the real players are coming..

This random play generator must only give the options of draw play to Faulk and 5-yard pass to Moss, Edelman and Faulk.

It's kind of hard to run plays when the O-line can't hold up and block on a 3 or 4 man rush.

On one of the sacks, Lewis came right up the middle because Koppen shifted to help Mankins and Lewis blew by him.. That's a failure by Koppen to pick up the Mike.

It's one of the reasons I think it's pathetic that the announcers are bagging on Moss and Edelman. How can they contribute when the O-line wasn't giving time to Brady. When Brady had time, he got it to both.

Either we have brought nothing new to the table for this game or the Ravens know our formations and audibles so that they know what play we are running...either way...Our game plan today was a complete failure...

I'm convinced that Bill O'Brien learned to call plays from madden.
