Deus Irae

Why do people post things like this when it was clear that the team did make adjustments with the offense?

What do you think would immediately help, MLR? Besides the obvious answer of better preparation and execution of course.

I think the hopeful/probable return of Connelly is a good start.

I don't mean to be feeling pessimistic, but I actually wonder if the addition of Branch would even help the team all that much right now.

I'm not sure if they could block effectively in either the run game next week to utilize the common sense approach to keeping Brady upright and controlling the ball against a more physical team, and like you said--Llyod has pretty much just mimicked the Deion Branch role of last year to this point.

You wouldn't try to attack via the air next week would you? (in a more primary role) And if so, do you think they could successfully do that?

I am honestly wondering your opinion on how they will approach it--as I said besides the obvious answer of better coaching, preparation, and execution. Or is it that simple in itself?

Normally I wouldn't worry that much about AHernandez' injury, but I think it comes at an awful time right now.

There were multiple playcalls that annoyed me but three in particular really stood out. First one was us not connecting on the td bomb before halftime. Gronk just wasn't clutch. Second one was that draw to woodhead. Ridley should have ran that play and where the hell did our screen game go. Lastly, who centers a 40 plus field goal anyway. It just seems harder to kick a long field goal down the middle since you have to worry about pushing left and/or right. If anything, it seems like they should have put it on the left hashmark since he is a right footed kicker.

Either way, the lack of trying to get any additional yds is what really pissed me off. I just didn't have a good feeling about the kick going in.

While your theory about not centering may make sense to me, I suppose it's not the proper way in the professional world of football--where centering it would likely always seem better.

Getting Waters in here. Getting Edleman off the field for the most part. Going 3 wide with Lloyd/Welker/Branch. Getting Fells on the field. Getting Vereen on the field. Comfort and stability, it's the best you can hope for at this juncture along with the defense continuing to play well. They dodged a bullit on Wilfork it appears. It amazes me too that with all the inactive binky clutter Bill has amassed at the bottom of the roster they can't get more out of the return game.

It is really unfortunate that they can't stash Hernendez on IR for 6 weeks. By the time he, Shiancoe and possibly Ballard are available they'll have to cut or IR 2 TE's.

Not until midway thru the 4th quarter. It was more of the same crap in the 3rd quarter and part of the 4th.

Not everyone sees it your way. If we all thought alike, it would be a boring world.

And, is it required to check with you by all others here before posting?

I will certainly admit that out of all of the decisions that people have questioned over the years, the placement of Schiancoe to the one IR exemption may have been the one that I questioned the most. It just didn't make much sense to me.

I honestly don't see Waters returning, although I obviously hope that I am wrong.

I don't like Edelman at that choice either.

I havent read too much in here about that last play of the first half. I was irate. Six seconds on the clock. There would have been no pass rush as the Cards would have dropped off to protect against a pass, so why not heave a Hail Mary into the end Zone? Balls do a lot of bouncing around on those. Why just put your knee down. Head shaking.

supafly

In that instance there seemed to be a bit more than meets the eye going on. In other words, we saw the punter out there originally, then Brady, then back to Mesko.

I think that maybe the plan was to take a final heave, but it appeared as though maybe Brady didn't like something that he saw out there.

As wrong as I may be, there definitely seemed to be something more going on than the average fan like us could tell. Just something to think about.

LOL at people who think they can criticise play calling or even credit it. You don't now the tendencies of the Cardinals defence upon which you call your offensive plays.

Execution was the problem yesterday. Execution on the field...nothing else. Use our eyes people.
