Josh McDaniels called a fantastic game

[VrabelJr]

Give credit where credit is due. We tend to hate on old Joshy-poo but today he more or less nailed it.

 

[manxman2601]

Yes he did. Who expected Hooman to be so involved or for Amendola to have his best game as a Pat.

The passes to Oh-Oh were brilliant. Hooman had one more catch and one less yard today than he had all season.

 

[Froob]

Giving up on the run was the best thing he could have done. Props to him. Couldn't afford to waste downs running.

 

[Fencer]

Everything I can think of that went wrong on offense seemed more like execution than play-calling. And of course he had the tricks and adjustments.

Yeah, he did well.

The Edelman call? His best as pats OC? It's close if not #1

Was this his first flea-flicker since Brady-Moss-Brady-Gaffney?

 

[Tom meets Kaepernick]

He was great. Belichick and Patricia, however, need their asses beat. What the hell was the gameplan? I know Flacoo is a great postseason quarterback but that was ridiculous.

BIG UPS to HoooooMAN & Amendola comin up BIG seen it comin from him last couple of games HUGE 3rd down conversion stretchin out for 1st down & launching TD. This was a TEAM effort and they hung in with multiple players makin plays. GO PATS!

I was seriously concerned with both Flacco and Forsett all week long, and wasn't sure why so many weren't?

I think they executed their game plan very well (Baltimore, that is).

Nitpick - that's not a flea-flicker. FF is when QB hands to RB who starts to run it up the gut and then suddenly turns around and pitches it back to QB who throws it.

 

[QuantumMechanic]

Or more generally, when the ball comes back to the QB for the QB to throw.

They need to double the number of inside blitzes (both run and pass) by Hightower and Collins. Almost invariably, good things happen when they do. We did it a lot more in the second half and the Ravens only scored 10 points. Go figure.

They were clouded by their ignorance. This was going to be a battle and thankfully, we came out ahead.

Good point.

Although I might stand by the claim that the Brady-Moss-Brady-Gaffney play was flea flicker.

Flacco went 6-16 and 2 ints to end the game.

BB and Patricia had a bad game but recovered just in time it seems.

The most recent flea flicker that I can recall is Brady/Green-Ellis/Brady/Moss, in the 59–0 game.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Nitpick - that's not a flea-flicker. FF is when QB hands to RB who starts to run it up the gut and then suddenly turns around and pitches it back to QB who throws it.

And besides, the flea flicker is an illegal-type play that violates the spirit of the rules. It's all about deception.

The "cross" double A gap blitz the Steelers use a lot would cause all kinds of havoc with Hightower & Collins.
