Agreed... The play calling on 2nd & 2 & 3rd & 2 caused the whole issue. This has been a real problem with Dorsey in general this whole year. I know they want to limit the hits on Josh, but if they are that concerned about running the ball in those situations, then bring in a heavy package to lead our 240 lb QB. Get the damn first down then get pass happy after you pick up a 1st down.
The same thing happened earlier in the game after Diggs caught an 18 yard pass on 1st & 20. Can't throw every freaking down especially with a QB who is struggling with his reads.
They need to get more creative with their running game. Same crappy slow developing inside handoff or a quick pitch, and that's pretty much all they do.
