This looked like bad playcall in hindsight, but McD's decision to play 4&8 with no offensive rhythm instead of trying 53y FG after he didn't go for two shorter ones was extremely bad decision. I don't remember him making worse in game decision. Expand 100% agree!!! 2
Big Blitz Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 An admission your oline and running game sucks
FilthyBeast Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Definitely one of the dumber play calls by Daboll since he's been here that's for sure. 1 1 2
Nextmanup Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) I hated the design of that play the moment it started. Not the right call for that scenario. Too many moving parts, too reliant on luck and things working as planned. On a big 4th and 1, Josh should line up under center, and do a QB sneak right over the center. You know, the play Tom Brady has pulled off 1,000 times in his career. It's boring, but it works. And Josh is a huge, strong, tall guy with long arms. That would be a much smarter play over a large sample of snaps than the crap we saw today. Edited September 12, 2021 by Nextmanup 4 1

Coach Tuesday Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Daboll called a halfback option pass to a rookie swing tackle on the critical play of the game. Will not miss him when he leaves. 2

Will not miss him when he leaves. Expand Agreed. He has got to play Knox more. There is no threat to run the ball when they line up 4 and 5 WRs.

GoBills808 Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 As soon as the DB lets McKenzie go on jet motion you have to call timeout not sure whether that’s Allen or staff responsibility 1
Mike in Horseheads Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 They forgot Gilliam was on the bench, ya know the FB/TE who looked good in preseason 2
Man with No Name Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Daboll is great in games where we completely overmatch the competition. everything seems so smart and fun. but when other teams have our number, there are never adjustments. After our last two games (KC and today) I am afraid we have been figured out and won't be able to adjust enough to be what we were. 1
stevestojan Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Individual plays don’t need their own thread. That play call? It needs its own message board. 1 2 1
MJS Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 Usually a backwards pass like that means a forward pass is coming from another player. 1
Eastport bills Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 This team has become predictable in short yardage with Josh on delayed runs or gadget misdirection. Beane has not delivered a bruising short yardage back with an O-line that run blocks. Josh will have to be Superman again with this offense. 1

Pittsburgh is one of 3-4 teams in the league can generate that level of pass rush with only 4 guys and Daboll will go right back to believing in his own Genius then when he faces a real defense, it will all crumble again. 2
JohnNord Posted September 12, 2021 Posted September 12, 2021 It was a stupid call - plain and simple. They probably should’ve just tried to sneak it with Allen but if they didn’t have confidence based on the way the OL was playing I would understand.
