With season in the balance, we throw to Herman & White?

That is exactly right. With the season on the line, you go to the worst receiving TE and a 3rd stringer? With the season on the line, you have to throw to an OL converted to a TE? What is that? What a shame for the good players on this team.
 
Making fun of professions is wrong.
But, there is a lack of Football IQ around here somedays.....
Virus maybe?

What a ******* joke. You clearly have no clue how an offense works. We were running five wide. We had several receivers running a variety of different routes attacking a variety of different levels. It's up to the QB to read the coverage identify the open guy, and make a good throw. It's not like KOK sits around designing ways to get Meyer or White the ball.

This post is a perfect example of why someone who doesn't really understand foorball, and probably drives a truck for a living, has no business trying to analyze things or criticize the staff.

Meyer? Really? That's what you come back with? No receiver named Meyer was in the game at that time. Also, if you are throwing to a TE at that point in the game, you better have someone in there that will catch the ball. What has Herman done this year that makes the coaches think he is the one to have in there? The TE position is empty. CJ is a bust, too.

CJ isn't a bust, yet. he is still learning how to block. If he was a solid blocker he would get all the reps as we saw with his one reception yesterday he can run and catch. I don't know why he wasn't in there on the last drive. But oh wait KF doesn't trust his young guys in pressure situations even if they have more talent

Duff, perhaps you can use your talents as a Super Bowl winning coach to explain to all of us idiots as to why we went to a five wide set. When we knew they were going to blitz, we know our quarterback can't pick up the blitz, and especially when it is 3rd and ten. I know that a football no nothing like Podolak was beside himself trying to figure out what the hell we were trying to do on that last drive, and I am sure that it makes perfect sense to have Jason White on the field on the biggest drive of the game when he doesn't sniff the field any other time.

Oh, and by the way, you might want to go see how much money many truck drivers make before you go making yourself look like a total ******* by putting down people in that profession.

Never said truck drivers aren't good people or don't make decent cash. I've never said they don't have a valuable profession.

You are the one who has their head in the sand. So if I don't know what I am talking about, then I guess Eddie P. doesn't either. No coach in their right mind throws THREE times to guys who are at best bit players on the offense. BTW, we should have never been in that predicament in the first place if we don't get outcoached in all phases of the game (again).

Your posts are laughable (in all sports) and show your lack of sports IQ. Accusing me of driving a truck? Nice touch champ.

The coach didn't throw to anyone. Our QB did. Again nearly every pass play features a variety of receivers who run a variety of routes attacking different levels of a defense. It's up to the QB to diagnose the coverage, identify the the open receiver and make a good throw.

BTW we aren't in that position if we don't commit 3 turnovers inside Minny's red zone, something that has very little to do with coaching.

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago everyone was singing the praises of our wide open five wide passing attack and calling for us to use it more often? Now we use it at the end of the game in which we are trailing with under 3 min left and you are complaining we don't run the ball? Ahahahahahaah, That's gold Jerry!

The only reason people are ******** about it is because we didn't score. If the guys out there hang on the football and we go down and score nobody would be ******** about it. In the 8 years I've frequented message boards it's become obvious that any play that doesn't work is automatically a bad call, and every play that does is a good one. What I don't understand is why KOK doesn't realize that's the case and just call plays that work?

The reality is we frequently use our five wide set to stretch the field a bit and utilize a short passing game to control the football and move the clock. Essentially it's like a running game with five wide. The difference is when we pick up 5-6 yards on a quick pass out of a five wide set we are able to re-set, and get the next play off much more quickly than we would on any kind of Coker run. Another difference is if the play is unsuccessful we gain zero yards but the play stops. Compare that to a running play that is unsuccessful and the clock runs.

At the point in the game we were at I think five wide and running the ball was absolutely a viable strategy, and one that would have worked had JVB thrown a better ball on 1st down, had Jason White caught the ball on 3rd down, had Zeus not false started on 3rd down.... That seems a lot like execution to me.
