in the first half we ran the ball about 9 times for 2 yard... passed it like 18 times, with 2 of those coming in the 2 min drill.
In the 2nd half we received the ball down 31-7 with about 9 min left in the 3rd quarter.
Clearly it was time to run the ball more at that point. With our .002 yards per carry down by 24 pts.
We could have come back in quarter 87.
McVay such an idiot.
I get what you're saying, particularly after we were behind 31-7.
But prior to that, McVay's run calls were pretty much all up the middle, no variety in the types of runs. And that contributed to the piss poor yards per carry, because the Cowboys D didn't have to have to respect the outside runs/jet sweeps/off tackle runs that were so effective for us last week and helped open up some of the inside runs.
I'm not going to throw McVay under the bus or call for his head, he's still a very smart coach. But he's had some absolute stinkers this year in terms of gameplans and in-game playcalling. Here's hoping his failures this season are a springboard for learning and getting better going forward.
