so, clements job today is to pretty much hold the challenge flag for Mcstubs
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.
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.

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.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
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??
