Default Worst Offensive play called

The double reverse!!! I nearly had a fit when they ran that play!! It just takes too long to develop to try and pull it on any fast defensive team. What in hell were they thinking?? Please, for the love of god, dump this from your playbook this season!!! And whoever had the ball first, next time you see all that open green in front of you....keep on going!!!
Didn't see any posts on this yet, but if so please merge.

I was upset once it got handed off to Chad because he had no chance of getting anywhere with defenders all around him. Reche problably should have just ignored giving it to Chad and ran on his own. Had he made a good juke on the corner he could have gotten a big gain.

It was a "triple" reverse...and it was a horrible call that took way too much time to develop. If they left it at a double reverse, Caldwell probably would have picked up a few yards.

No need to resort to trickery when the gameplan is working well.

I've defended the playcalling, and think thrick plays are mostly fine. But if a team like Chicago is very fast, it make sense to go one way and then hand off the other ... but not back to the first direction.

I think Caldwell may have had an option, but there were two defenders in front of him and he was likely to lose yardage too.

That playcall was like a really bad movie where you just think "how were all these people OK with making this?" I imagine either BB or TB could've and should've said "F this" - it was the worst play call this season, IMO. I just don't see why you try that there.

Yeah except for the Pats are 7th in yards in the NFL and 9th in points scored. Also they were the first team all year to go over 300 yards against the Bears (#1 D in the NFL in yards and points) this year..354 yards.
