But seriously, I think a running call was probably the right call. But as I said earlier I would have run a draw out of the shotgun or maybe a short screen pass (essentially a running play)
What I still don't get is why no one ever seems to believe Al Saunders calls the plays on offense when they don't work.

The book says to run the ball, drain the timeouts and play defense. They did that and came up on the short end again.
I would have liked to see them throw a safe pass, "running out the clock" doesn't have to be taken literally. We were 5-6, once we got them to use their time outs I would have loved to see them take a chance to win the game, one more first down = game over.
I find myself absolving Saunders when the offense bogs down, but only because I find it hard to believe that we're paying $2 mil a season for the offense that I see on Sundays. Accountability is sorely lacking, we need a jerk up in the front office, someone unafraid to ask the tough questions, like "Is this person earning their money?"
