Execution Sucks!

Skinsguy,

I never said that Gibbs shouldn't have been conservative. I said I never expected it to be THAT conservative. It's a matter of degrees.

He gave Ramsey plays to go downfield...but he has to hit those guys and those guys have to get open downfield on a consistant basis too. I don't really think the play calling was overly conservative and I think it will become less conservative each week to bring Ramsey along slowly and to keep his confidence up. If Ramsey is going to be our guy, then he needs to be playing top notch football by the end of this season and take that into next year.

Then they need to start executing as such. How many drops have we seen from these receivers this year? I think Portis IS our offense, but even he has dropped many passes. Samuels has been the only consistant I've noticed.

Coles has one BAD game. I'm not sure if you ever knew this, but he played with a dislocated finger after getting whacked by Roy Williams. If you think Coles is inconsistent then your standards are WAY too high.

Portis had one dropped pass tonight. Again, if that is really bad, I think your standards are too high.

Gardner is the only guy on the team who had too many drops. Nevertheless, Ramsey completed something like 60+% of his passes so its not like the recievers were dropping everything coming their way.

Skinsguy,

Are you serious when you say the playcalling wasn't overly conservative? Is there anyone who will second that opinion?

I don't really care if no one seconds that opinion..that is my opinion. The conservative play calling got us down the field in the first half just fine and kept the Eagles' O off the field. Wouldn't you want the Eagles' O off the field as much as possible?

I did want the Eagles O off the field, but I'd also like a side of points to go along with that dish.

but there is a larger problem in gameplanning that persists. Also, someone needs to tell Gibbs that third and three is not a running down in today's NFL. How many times this year have we been stuffed in that situation.

3rd and 3, or 4th and 3 inches! :frusty: :laughing2

Sure we all do, and when Portis starts ripping off 60+ yard runs on a consistant bases and when Ramsey starts throwing accurate passes downfield on a consistant bases and when the receivers catch the ball on a consistant bases then you'll have a side of points to go along with your dish.

Ramsey completed what 63% of his passes?

Maybe Portis isn't ripping off 60+ yards because: (1) no one rips off 60+ yards on a consistent basis, (2) Gibbs' offense is so predictable and has no deep threat that Portis is getting stuffed on every run.

Our recieving corps is one of the best in the league.

I'm sorry, but I don't think our receiving corps is nearly the best in the league. They haven't played like it this year. They have been inconsistant. They have made some good plays, but they've dropped alot of passes.

Why do you think Ramsey completed 63% of his passes? The majority of those passes were short passes.
