You always say what you want!!
What I know is there is a flow to the game. The bigger the moment the more intense it is.
Crazy - I NEVER knew Mcvay & O’Connell scripted the first 15 plays.
Made me start to question the play calling even more & trying to figure out Mcvay’s madness.
I NEVER bought into the Little Genus thing after his 1st & 2nd year.I bet know he doesn’t remember half his calls from the past ? Figure of speech,but he was such a young HC & the game & surroundings change. He has even changed as a person,but what makes Sean Mcvay GREAT is his consistency.He put in that John Wooden Triangle Pyramid & WE not ME.His character & believes are amazing.
I can talk about how he could have done better. 2 real keys for me were the first 3 run calls & just blanked to start the game was tough.If you have 2 weeks to game plan & those are your first 3 plays. UGH - long day offensively.
I know all that had happened,but Matthew Stafford was in a Zone. The play calling was excellent.The rhythm was flowing & Mcvay just BOTCHED it up.
My take is old school of either way you play it when your moving the ball something is working.The run game wasn’t there so you pass to establish the RUN!!
I love me some HENDO!! A play action after both Hopkins & Ben Sko bought caught passes tells you all you need to know about what kind of a zone Matthew Stafford was in.The SuperBowl just made me think of how much better Stafford can be if Mcvay goes back to his old play calling style & that it will be a good thing Kevin O’Connell is gone.
The play was simple once Sko made a first down catch finally. A play action call would have been perfect.The pass Pro was good at the time & Cinncy was loading up on the run.The Rams had them in there Heals. I was yelling play action- play action- PLAY ACTION!!! Who knows? I know enough about football & seen more games than even the above average fan has.If nothing else gamecast from ESPN.
Anyways my point is not so much about one call or Mcvay’s play calling.
It’s about watching how much BETTER Stafford is at rolling out to his right & keeping his eyes downfield than Jared Goff.I’m not taking anything away from Goff & in fact have been impressed on his Growth as a QB.
I just HATE the long TD big game play.I’m more of a grind it out rhythm type. An example & just heard both Kupp & Stafford didn’t know it was 4th down on that JET SWEEP.
