Mariota - Missed Throws

So if Arthur didn't send in two plays on the play before hand, whose fault is it?

 

And yes, that's exactly how it's supposed to work with seconds left on the clock and no timeouts.

And who TF called a play with all in-breaking routes in that situation?

 

You can’t honestly believe that yet another coaching staff doesn’t know what they’re doing calling plays, and aren’t actually calling plays that cater to a very limited passer...

The evidence was on the field.  IDGAF what you believe, it obviously happened that way.

 

Yes those are ALL in-breaking routes.  Arthur called that play.

And no, Mariota didn't get a 2nd playcall from Arthur, or he would have used it.  He didn't have a 2nd play so he spiked it to get the playcall in.

The proper procedure is to call #1 & #2 plays ahead of time so every player knows at the end of the first play they go right to their respective assignments for the 2nd play.

That's how it's supposed to work, but it obviously didn't happen.  They're out of TOs, so Marcus can't stop and clarify it with Smith, the clock is ticking.

 

It is what it is.  Denial gets you nowhere.

Me thinks there’s still some denial going on

excuses excuses. All you are doing is deflecting from the fact Mariota was horrrible way before the last sequence.

Says the guy who, referencing the last sequence, thinks Marcus should have handed it off to a RB with no timeouts left and seconds on the clock.

You brought it up, so examine it for what it really is or STFU.

Wake up stooge. If you hand the ball off real quick on 3rd down you get the first and spike it or you call a pass play with the latter being preferred. Either way you don't fucking spike the ball on 3rd down like a dumbass Duck. I can't wait till your idiotic gun toting ass crawls back into the weeds.

Im the one in denial.  HA! 

This is a special kind of delusion you’ve got going on. 

 

They’re all in breaking routes because the middle of the field is the only place Marcus can comfortably throw.  If you understand how limited he is, it was actually a fantastic play call. 

 

Smith gave him the easiest, most comfortable pass he could throw, whoever he locks onto in the middle.

So, following your logic, I guess Arthur should have called a run play as the 2nd intended call.

But he didn't do that either, because he didn't call ANY play, which goes against standard protocol.  The 2nd call has to be made in the huddle on the prior play.  Are you so simple you can't grasp that part?

 

Going back in the weeds?  Where do you get this shit, SNL?

That’s my take.  Dial up plays in which Marcus is most comfortable and hope for the best.  

 

Duckie won’t entertain the idea that coaches have to work around Marcus’s weaknesses.  Marcus has had the longest string of terrible coaches in the NFL’s history.  It can’t be the common denominator.

This isn't college football. Most of the time NFL QBs call their own plays in the 2 minute drill. Maybe it was on Smith but it was his 2nd game calling plays. Regardless if he called it or not its on the 5th year starting QB to know what the situation is. Your boy didn't plain and simple. deal with it.

LOL

So what you're saying is Marcus will continue to pay for the growing pains this team self-inflicts.

At least as far as the "fans" are concerned.

 

Good to know.

Wait it's already the coaching staff's fault again? We four-for-four @TitanDuckFan?

 

Like how many teachers have to give a student an "F" before we realize he's the problem?

It's ABM.  Anyone but Marcus's fault.

Players, coaches, GMs, owners....the whole organization itself is why Marcus is struggling at football according to Duckie.  

 

There's an argument to be made that the constant chance in staff certainly didn't help Marcus, but I recall Duckie being all for staff changes because it was their fault Marcus wasn't living up to expectations.
