You are right, Obi...they shot themselves in the foot, in addition to what I consider poor game plans. But, when shot in the foot, down 2 scores with 4 minutes and change left, why no urgency...why the casual huddle up when Favre has spent his entire career, at least his career prior to tje current regime, eating up defenses with the 2 minute drill.
It is a little bit of both, in my opinion.
Oh, c'mon digs - he's not THAT right..... he's as much wrong as he thinks you and I are....period ---- Game plans predicated on taking baby steps are what kills great teams - and like posted earlier on this Forum - with someone more like Holmgren at the helm for the past five years - Brett certainly would have at least two more Lombardi Trophies on the shelf. A definitive SB trophy at the very least for 2003.
Unfound, ? Oh great Obi-1.... // get over it.
Digs and I, are both right... as so are quite a few others in here. Splashing that rhetoric in our direction doesn't gain you any real credibility - try a stepping stone in some other direction.
Somehow - I get the feeling that it's the players who aren't realy buying into the Offensive master plan - ever think about that? We already know the Defense believes in Jim Bates... that's not the issue at this stage of the game... Ravens may have gotten away with one, with Dilfer taggin' along -- but that won't happen ever again.
Offensive scheming needs to be more chess like, it's not checkers at the park!
Sherman "has" been outplaying himself.
** EDIT **
I sometimes wonder - if we had a different Coach, would Brett be getting the Elway treatment? Would he be allowed to call his own plays, or counter whatever the HC has just sent in? Think about it...
