Thread: Criticisms of Norv?

And even...

So this about 3 or 4 plays at that the most that are considered bad? Tough to say he had a bad game for 3 or 4 plays out of 40.

No. You can run when you aren't in a running formation. We have not been able to run out of the I all season. Spread them out and run from...

I agree we gotta run the play every game but I just didn't like it at that particular time, in that situation with how they had been...

Of course that's also because PR's internal clock was about as finely tuned as I've ever seen it. He knew exactly how much time he had on damn near every drop back. His pocket awareness was really outstanding today...and with this OLine it better be or his career will be short lived...

The reverse was a horrible call. Let PR throw the ball when the game is on the line....actually, that whole series of 3 straight runs with no pass AT ALL when we were losing...those were all bad. However, I will say that I thought there were some excellent calls made, including the pass to Sproles on the winning drive.

That 3rd and 5 reverse was awful. It brought out shades of the end of the Baltimore game for me. Rivers was hitting targets and to take it out of his hands in a very makeable situation down 3 and in Giants territory made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

He had to call a lot of passes because the running game is horrible and LT has no gas in the tank. Overall, what were the criticisms of him today? I say his best calls of the season came today. Including waiting to the end to use the up and out from Sproles out of...
