The point is that it was on that drive that we decided to go pass heavy and it was working on that drive until we called a run; it worked on the drive after that for a FG; it worked on the drive after that for a TD; and it worked on the drive after that for about 85 yards until Allen botched the lateral at the end of the game. It was the greatest sustained success we have had on offense all year and it was due to us letting Herbert throw the ball more, not less.
It does remind me of how the players went to Marty after we lost to the Ravens in 2006 and urged Marty to let Rivers throw the ball. Marty did and the team took off because #17 could really play. Well, it is 14 years later and we have another conservative run heavy biased bad game tactician HC and we have another QB that can really play. If it helps us to win, I say let Herbert throw the ball.
