I have so many questions about how our offense is managed

This might be a key observation. The OC sends in the players for each down, which then limits the options the QB has. I wonder how often they are on the same page of what they want to do. Depending on the personnel, the plays sure look too predictable, at least on TV to this observer. All the motion doesn’t seem to confuse anyone.

 

You’re ignoring the fact a fair number of those passes came at the end of both halves. This notion we abandoned the run isn’t supported by facts

 

We didn't commit to the run as much as we should have. Everyone marvels at Henry rushing the ball 36 times for six yards a carry against Green Bay, and they rightly credit that for winning the game for the Ravens. Our running backs were having similar levels of success. Yet they only ran the ball 23 times (with Warren and Gainwell, our best offensive players, only getting nineteen carries combined). Committing more to the run would have given us a better chance to win.

Speaking of Gainwell, who might actually be our best receiver with DK out, he only had four targets. Freirmuth had five. Miller and MVS combined for 16 targets. So our pass attempts weren't even going to our most productive players. The game plan was flawed, and it cost the team. Those are the facts.

 

And didnt convert on. 3rd downs which limits your opportunities. We had 3rd and 1 and gainwell broke off a 14 yarder that was negated by a false start. YOU’re looking at stats trying to paint a picture. It doesnt hold up to scrutiny

 

You're right. Third down was a problem all game, but it was largely a problem because of how we were attacking the Browns. If you want to cherry pick specific plays, why would we go empty set on fourth and one from the twenty and remove the threat of a run when we had been running the ball effectively? Why wouldn't we use the middle of the field more when it was necessary to pass? Why weren't we getting the ball into the hands of our more productive players rather than challenging good cornerbacks with our backup receivers?

The entire plan stunk, and the results speak for themselves. I don't know if that mainly falls on Rodgers, Smith, or Tomlin, but those guys better get on the same page and put together a competent game plan for Sunday night. Otherwise, the Ravens will roll over us.

 

Oh goood lord not the mof crap again. There’s a great video out there of that exact play. Smith had a perfect man beating play callled which resulted in Rodgers staring down miller. Thielen is wide open, but Rodgers never took his eyes off miller

 

There needs to be a website that tracks where the routes were run. Then compare those charts to those NexGen passing charts.

Be fascinating to see what is being called versus what is being executed.
