Let's talk about the obvious things in the two games this year.
Against Houston:
The play call on 4th and 2 and going for it when we are up 12-7. A field goals put us up 8 and gives us momentum going into the half. While it worked out and Peters got the TD, that was a bad decision and we should have kicked the FG.
On the 1st time inside the 20 he pulled Willis, ran Williams and then passed twice, rather then setting the tone and ramming it down their throat with your star back.
Result FG.
On the 2nd series. Two passes, and then a run from the 6. Excuse me, but friggen run the ball on first down.
Final FG series, after the fumble. Willis cracks off 17 yards to the 6. Runs 2 times for 2 yards each, ball sitting at 2. Run the ball in, cram it down there throat, but no we got cute with a 1st year QB, got a intentinal grounding and a FG. That had disaster all over it.
Against TB:
Our play calling was horrible. We tried to pass against a great defensive team in 100 degree heat rather than try to wear them down. Just a bad play calling all along.
Finally in the off season, rather then forcing the issues, and trying to get a stud LT, etc..., running it up the chain, we draft a midget WR, and get a 2nd string LT from detroit who was cut as a replacement for a very average LT.
