while those were definitely plays meant to beat the blitz, i don't think i saw a Texan defender in our backfield the whole game. where were these plays the first two weeks? or were they called but just not executed well when played against a real defense?

hope this was a reaction to all the blitzing and not just what the Saunders plays look like in practice.

Overly aggressive doesn't necessarily mean blitzing. Their LBs are very active and aggressive in pursuit, I think that's what they meant by saying they are aggressive.

The majority of the pass plays were quick and short as designed per the game plan.

The next time I watch the game, I will count them. Unfortunately, I have to head to work, so I will have to post that tomorrow. There are more than you may think.

Assuming you are correct, and they were all by design (they weren't, but I'll assume for a minute they were) this is the 3rd straight game that all Saunders / Brunell has done is short passes. That means our 2 million dollar OC is not worth it. I will obviously agree you play the game to your opponants weaknesses, the Texans could not stop the short plays so why stop? I understand that concept. However, it did not work vs the Cowboys at all, and was not very effective vs the Vikes either. The offense just looks remarkably similar in terms of play calling and Brunell's comfort zone.

How convenient that you have to go to work. You are guessing about what was going on downfield. You need to pick a different team and go sit on their seats. How about those Ravens? Be gone.

Wow, you're a mean spirited person huh? If you do this to a fellow fan, I wonder what you do to your own family. Life is too short buddy, try not to make it as negative as you are sounding.

That being said, if you have noticed my posts in other threads, I manage a restaurant, and I need to be there at 3:30 MST. I won't get home til 1 in the morning. If you look at your clock, I do not have enough time to watch the game AGAIN and count the plays. Sorry man. I wish I had your time, but I don't.
This will be the last time I respond to you. I come here for whitty banter and to bask in the intellegence of Skins fans, right or wrong. Without trying to insult you, I hope you learn why we are ALL here.

Sorry if I offended anyone guys.

Not so fast, I didn't they they were all by design, just the majority.

If nothing else I admire Brunell's attitude and demeanor.

Sorry! But this bashing drives me crazy. Are we fans or are we FANS????? We are supposed to be the best in the world. You don't like the way Skins play football? You don't trust in Gibbs?? You hate Brunell??? Then we don't need you. .. LOL

Seriously, I just want some happy talk. It's been a long time since a win and it sure would be nice if everyone enjoyed it for a while!
