People assume we would have gotten no yards running the ball. If they even gotten a couple yards, it makes 3rd down easier. Could have dialed up a pass play from any play in the book in that situation. The problem for me is not exactly that they passed the ball. Its the type of plays they ran. They were actually trying to get enough yards to kick a field goal. What they should have done is tried to just get a first down. This was the time for the short quick plays. A quick slant or a dump off. Wheel route. Something. Just get a few yards each play and try and get that FD. Instead they tried running sideline plays in hopes they could get in FG range with clock left.
Its bad coaching for the second week in a row. Its a bad offensive game plan. Its bad roster management by Beane too.
