You can always second-guess the play call when it doesn't work. It's as much about execution as it is about play calling. Sometimes the defense makes plays.
You mean like that inside handoff to Allen on 4th and 1? :laugh4:

I re-watched the game and glad I did because I forgot about some interesting things.

1. Grupe was injured 6 minutes into the game so we had to go on 4th down instead of attempting FGs and PATs weren't going to be easy. However, Evans made the PAT to put us up 1 on our final drive.
2. Stafford missed a wide open Puka in the 3rd quarter....would have been 6.
3. Defense was horrible at tackling between the 20's. In the red zone they were tough
4. Higbee had the ball ripped out of his arms at the Cardinals 22.

Like somebody said, Queesenberry was at LT. He did allow some pressures and a sack.
We ran at a 4.7 clip but in the first half it was 4.9, in the second 4.4.

Of course the penalty at the end was ridiculous. They would have had the ball at our 44 with 41 seconds left and no timeouts. I'm not confident they win the game without that penalty. By the time they snapped the ball next to spike it, there would have been less than 35 seconds on the clock. But it's all water under the bridge now.
 
I'm definitely glad both Parkinson and Allen will be out there...BOTH GUYS RUN LIKE FREIGHT TRAINS. Those Cardinals safeties won't be wanting to tackle those two after a few tackles...:laugh1:
I don't know Woodie.

Hope that's the case but Parkinson and Allen have been playing despite being banged-up; and Budda Baker is one of the hardest-hitting and better SS in the entire NFL.

Valid points.

I was concentrating on the start of the game looking at the play calling. Where posters often say McVay throws too much. Now it's run the ball----run the ball. I was pointing that it was a mix 50/50 and they still struggled early.

I like the uptempo for the offense. Having Garrett improving the defense they can take a chance and get a quick start.

True...but when it comes to tackling, Allen is 6' 6" 253 and Parkinson is 6' 7" 266. Baker is 5' 10' 195. In a "head on", I'll take Allen and Parkinson...especially if they have a head of steam.
