'Bring the Pain' Stepping away from the panic button, slowly

That's fine, albeit a cowardly way to discount production, so what's the judgment on being 8-11 for 100 yards from the shotgun formation? He's much more effective and comfortable in the shotgun and playing in rhythm than dropping back and throwing on 2nd and 3rd and long.I think he was one of the people who was ready to throw Campbell under the bus after going 1/7 against the Steelers in a quarter of action.

So 1/7 in a preseason game against the Steelers = bench/cut player
6/6 in the fourth quarter of a two score game against Giants = discountable garbage time.

Never mind that if we recover the onside kick, we probably win the game.

Please don't say reasonable things like that when so many people obviously NEED to panic.

Portis looked so slow after that first drive.

Good thread to calm folks down. Yeah we need to do shotgun more. The last drives of each half were in 2 minute drill and he led two scoring drives.

I think JC is so comfortable in the shotgun, I almost wish it was our primary formation, and find a way to make the run work from it.

Why the hell was he under center on that play that he audibled to run the ball.

I also remember a play when he was under center with an empty backfield. That is the dumbest formation in football.

I think our offensive problems are 50% JC and 50% Zorn's play calling.

Great post, the play calling was predictable even from my living room. I don't think you can be a good team if you run run pass all game and then open the playbook with five minutes left and a two score deficit. Unless your counting on recovering a bunch of onsides kicks and then scoring again as GTripp astutely mentioned. Which I guess would then be a great offensive gameplan!

I don't get the 50% JC. Help me out, fumble was bad, INT was stupid, audible (and reason) was inexcusable. How is that 50%?
