Also, if we talking about '06, I wouldn't say his playcalling was inferior to MM's.. I'd lean more towards Chilly was playing Capt. HardAnus, and was limited with what he could call, what with Brad Johnson and later T-Jack at the helm. MM had who? Oh yeah, one of the best, if not THE best QB in the history of the game.
I will give you the rigidity of Chilly's adjustments was really bad. That's the ONLY problem I have with his coaching. Everything else is just fine, if ya ask me.
The game we beat you last year that was close at half-time, AD was giving us fits. I think he already had 100+ yards in the 1st half. Then you guys pulled him in the 2nd half. I think he had like 3 carries in the 2nd half.
Whomever made that call is an idiot.
Oh, at the time, I hated that call. I was in Milwaukee at the time, visiting one of my best friends, and we were watching that game. We both were in awe that AP wasn't running the rock in the 2nd half. In fact, my Packer friend was yelling at the tv, claiming stupidity on the playcalling.
But, now, looking back, even though Chilly/Bevell still could have run AD more that 2nd half, I think they were just trying to keep him from getting too fatigued.
Not to mention the Vikings passed alot in the 2nd half to keep up..
