    There would be an opening if Clements can't stay (or see himself staying).
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Last spring, buth Murphy and Thompson seemed doubtful that it was wise for McCarthy to give up play calling, but said it was his decision and they would support it. They also asked him to think about it for a couple days before enacting the change. I wonder if they put any pressure on him to take the job back?

    we went from blow to suck when he gave up playcalling duties

    when he feels that the new guy calling the plays is sucking just as bad as he was blowing, then maybe after m3 blows for the rest of the season as bad as clements was sucking, someone in the organization will figure out that maybe the guy who blows actually sucks

    Well, they're moving the ball and scoring in the first half. Maybe the change is helping with consistency of somethingorother.

    Was this the first game this season without a stupid timeout because they couldn't get the play in fast enough? Looked much more "oiled" today.
    Love the commitment to the run.

    Nope. There was a stupid time out. Couldn't make them jump offside so had to burn one.

    Pay attention.

    That was on Rodgers though. They did seem to be doing a better job of getting the plays in on time.

    He used two separate hard cadences there, seemed like it was the plan.

    I don't know if was the first game but that screwing around as the play clock ran drove me crazy this year. Only one time did we have to waste a TO yesterday.

    I don't think that TO was a mistake at all. I think the plan was to draw D offsides and if they get 'em throw the bomb. There was single coverage on the outside. After the TO, I believe they changed personnel. I'll check.

    They did. It was Starks. Then it was Lacy after TO.

    Evidently McCarthy made this change last Monday. I don't recall hearing anything about it until this morning! This was one well kept secret for sure.

    Anyone think we saw different plays or even sequences of plays?

    This looked like execution to me. Especially O line this week. Decent protection against a talented front four (and some blitzing for some reason) and a run game.

    Also saw some of same problems versus man coverage. Not sure team is out of woods yet. Monty will help more.

    This was my perception. I don't know enough or at least don't track the playcalling closely enough to know if the playcalls were really very much different than what they'd been doing. But what I did see were holes, big holes, to run through.

    For all the joy in Whoville, too, that offense from the end of the second quarter through the third - five punts in a row - looked like the same offense we've been watching for much of the season. So where was Stubby's playcalling magic during that stretch??
