Saying you don't like Bevell's play calling is a far cry from complaining about a particular play. Did you, or did you not, specifically complain about the call during/after the Arizona game?
And what about RW? Is he a liar or not?
Those are two very different issues.
I don't write about every single play call I disagree with. Which play call in particular against Arizona are you talking about?
The same play as was called in the SB. IMHO: If you don't complain when the play works, then you shouldn't complain about when it doesn't. Same guy called the play!
In general, Bevell showed a clear tendency to abandon the running game in two instances: (1) in the red zone, where the Seahawks were ranked 20th in red zone scoring, despite having Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson, and (2) in the first half of games, after he runs through the initial script and before half time when Carroll can encourage him to run the ball more.
So you can't read RWs mind, but you can read PC's? Interesting.
Did Wilson "lie" about hearing God, after the play, tell him that he was using him to show the world how he responds to adversity? I have no idea, because I can't see into Wilson's mind. He was speaking at a Church, and maybe he was playing to the crowd.
A lie, is a lie, is lie. I tend to think he was being sincere.
Aha! A sincere lie? Many people, for various reasons, have experienced auditory hallucinations
Are you now claiming RW hallucinates?in which they believe God has spoken directly to them. Lack of sleep, excessive praying, trauma, concussion, etc. all increase the liklihood of having an auditory hallucination.
I have NO IDEA what this second question has to do with whether Bevell is an above average play caller or whether that was the best play call for that situation.
Did you complain about his pass call to Matthews before the half, a player who had never before caught a pass in the NFL? You want to show me the post where you complained about that call? Of course if the play had failed, you'd still be bitchin'...wouldn'tcha?
We were on the one-yard line. We had enough time to run the ball once, call a timeout if the run wasn't successful, throw the ball to stop the clock, and then run again one last time on 4th down. We were the 2nd best power running team in the league (81% success rate) going against the worst power running team in the league (81% failure rate). The probability of a turnover was at least four times more likely by throwing the ball. All this leads me to believe they should have run the ball in that situation. It was the safest play with the highest probability of success.
