BronxRik Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Does Gilbride need to go ? I say YES . Hey, you're a MOD....no F bombs in the title. And no, Gilbride shouldn't be called out for this. How about the players make the plays he calls? Hmmmm, maybe then he's called a genius. If the players execute bad plays and lose, then I can see your point.

RandolphScott Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He's done nothing wrong in my eyes. He doesn't catch the passes or block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you keep trying to run outside the tackles when it wasn't working? Would you throw throw throw on first down? 4th and inches,well maybe we should throw it . Is that the play you would of called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Stay. We're one of the top offenses in the league that had a bad game. We've won a SB with the incompetent bastid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Would you call an end around in the first series ? Yes, but I wouldn't have given it to Manningham. Would you keep trying to run outside the tackles when it wasn't working? When wasn't it working? I thought the outside tackles running was fine, they didn't have enough time to continue it. Would you throw throw throw on first down? Probably not. 4th and inches,well maybe we should throw it . Is that the play you would of called? Eli could have ran for that 1st down.

BlueInCanada Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Top 6 offense in yards per game and number one in rushing per game. Has a bad day and all of a sudden we should let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This loss sits squarely on execution, or should I say, failed execution. The end around, so he tried a little trickery. Didn't work and I don't recall him trying it again. But had it worked, everyone would be like "WOW, bold move". Running outside outside the tackles when it wasn't working? Can't say, but I'm sure if the line made some interior holes, the backs would have taken that option.....maybe. Throw on first down? Sure, why not. Our running game wasn't working. 4th & inches: No I would have run it, but I'm not the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I dont think so This goes deeper than today's game any way this is my opinion and other people has their opinion so I will leave it at that.

Lughead if we did everything you suggested here we would have a predictable offense... something that Gilbride has also been criticized for. Is it just that he's damned if he does, damned if he doesn't? He's done a good job for us this year. Other season's I've criticized him, and to be honest I didn't like the hire in the first place. But I am inclined to give him some due for our success this year. Dare I say the offense has been even better than our defense this season.

Would you throw throw throw on first down? 4th and inches,well maybe we should throw it . Is that the play you would of called? Well I think your insinuation is we at least should not have done these things. Is it your idea that we should always run on first down? It's easy to criticize the offensive coordinator when things don't go well. Sometimes it's legit, sometimes it's not. This year, the criticism is unfounded. I think no matter what, you mix up the play calling and trust your quarterback to change the play if the one you called doesn't look successful with the way the defense lines up. Anything that makes our offense formulaic is a bad idea, methinks, as the worst thing you can do is let the defense know what you're going to do and when. All this, we should run on first down more than pass talk, and not do end arounds, blah blah blah... I have no problem with doing either as long as we remain unpredictable in our play-calling.

Just don't make any strange requests, like having the Browns add a finance section. Although I think a beer section would go over well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'll give him a little respect because of this season in terms of points and the fact we're 11-2. But...he is not a very good OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If coordinating a run through the playoffs, a superbowl win, the highest points in the league, and an 11-2 record don't define very good OC, what does?
