I'm thinking full-blown read-option on every single play. We want him throwing no more than 10 passes the entire game.

Yeah, help us count all the games he won this year in Tampa.

A win or loss against Cleveland isn't really going to tell us anything. A win would sure be nice though.

Hackett's playcalling was still atrocious (RUN RUN PASS) and way to conservative, however the fact that he ditched the "fast" offense gives me some hope that he is willing to adjust. We got treated to a WR screen today (Stevie -1 yds), but hey, that's a start and I bet we see our first RB screen of the season next game. Oh, and a play-action pass that resulted in a beautiful TD. Play-action!

Run Run Run. Wow that was pathetic Hackett. Playing scared football.

I'm thinking run run pass on this next possesion.

Run Run Pass!!! BTW, anyone else notice that we've at least abandoned the "fast" offense? Don't count on Fouts and Eagle to point that out.

Is it a positive or negative if I say this loss will be in the top 10 of most painful?

holy crap we passed on first down

you know it baby!!! RUN RUN PASS

Ravens 31 Bills 17

I call our new offense "Run Run Pass" You may know it by a different name, "Run Run Pass Punt"

This is where you're wrong. Dead wrong.

Someone needs to tell Hackett that the old K-Gun's effectiveness wasn't primarily due to the tempo. It was effective because the offense was packed with Hall of Famer's and Pro Bowler's.

Great article - love the breakdown by quarter. The only thing Hackett is doing with his "fast" offense is wearing down our own team.

It's truly amazing we didn't win 4 Super Bowls while Levitre was with us. He might only have been the 13th best guard in the league, but man, was that guy durable! It's too bad Denver didn't throw $47M at Levitre. If they didn't get stuck with Vasquez for $20M, they might actually be able to score once and a while. And do you believe all these "experts" predicting the playoffs for Seattle? Don't these idiots know that that they start two JAGs at both guard spots??? Hahaha my god they only pay the one guard minimum salary! I feel bad for the Seahawks and their fans.

By Thursday the entire forum will be "***** to left guard??" Doug Marrone to left guard??

Considering that Eugene Parker is his agent, it would be a good guess.

ROFL hahaha ahhhh thanks guys I really needed this today.

Of course execution is part of it. But if you can't see how badly Hackett got his hat handed to him I don't know what to tell you. Ryan put on a clinic and made our offensive gameplan look like something out of high school.

Let's not pretend that this just became a problem. Our offense stunk versus the Pats, and it also stunk against the Panthers. Thank God Ron RIvera went prevent on that last drive or we would be 0-3. I really didn't watch much Syracuse ball, but if this is the extent of the playbook, we are in deep, deep trouble. Any SU fans want to pop in this thread and comment on his scheming there? Am I ever going to see a 2-back set again? Or a screen? Any type of misdirection? Play action? Watching Spiller get crushed trying to run between the tackles every 1st and 2nd down was like a recurring nightmare. The fact that we didn't get away from it in the 2nd half is equally as terrifying. We played right into the teeth of Ryan's defense yesterday, that was suicide.

With Goodwin injured, I think it's time to see what Easley can do in a starting role.

I would have loved giving Louis Vasquez $20M. Still wouldn't have given Levtire $40+M. And if you think Levitre would have stopped 8 sacks and 16 QB hits, you don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about. I'm more upset at OBD for determining that we had the next LG "already on the roster." We don't. But it's not a problem that takes $40M to fix, probably not even half that.

How about a screen? Just one.

Three more FGs and we got this...
