Our play calling is holding us back

[Spin Doctor]

over 250 yards running and 176 yards passing with 3 td's PASSING so where is the argument at?


Just because they don't pass when you want them too like last year we didn't run when people wanted us too, we can do both now and no, you are not getting 700 yards and 56 points a game week to week from a Pete Carroll team, better go be a Chiefs or Ram fan if you want that.

The issue isn't run vs. pass. The problem is poor situational play calling, and a really strange passing offense. Again, not talking about volume, talking about the kinds of plays being called in the passing game, and when they are being called.

BS. Turnovers have been the problem in every lose except Rams 1.

Running the ball well is great. Best offenses are balanced. Seahawks couldn’t pass the ball til they faced a prevent defense. Couldn’t pass the ball on third going 2/9 in obvious passing downs. Didn’t balance play calling on early downs. Didn’t put themselves in easy situations to move the chains. Passing game is a problem, lot of winnable opportunities against man coverage and didn’t exploit it.

Sure seems like we scored plenty of points. Is the offense really the issue?

I'm fine with the amount of running.

I'm baffled that with our dominant run game and that threat to a defense, when we do pass it isn't easier. There is something wrong there. Our run threat should open up the field. Instead the passing game is painful and difficult.

if you run for 9 yards per carry, that's really good. they tore it up in the ground game, and penny has some game.

will be interesting to see if they rush for 200+ in the packers game. carroll is licking his chops for this one.

Does this help dispel the notion some that this is really how it works in general or specific.
