So let me get this straight Mike. You have one of the most atrocious O-Lines in the game at the moment, if not THE most atrocious, and you call a fancy trick play that requires superior up-front blocking and time to develop AGAINST one of the most prolific pass rushing teams in the league? What in the actual frick? Wish I could try and wrap my head around that 'Tom Brady special' they called up.
I am also just completely stunned at how many runs were called in the 2nd and long situations. When you have a guy like Adrian Peterson you can get away with running on 2nd and 7+ every series, but when you're the Green Bay Packers you LET AARON DO HIS THING. Don't abandon the run by any means, but I swear every single 2nd and long play was a run, which seldom got anywhere.
I don't get why we aren't trying any screen plays? We virtually never run them, which tells me if done at an opportune moment the defense would likely never see it coming. Again it helps to have a decent O-Line when running a screen, but if you're going to call dumb trick plays then you might as well do something more reasonable...
