Okay...
...I get that Herbie had another "off game"--picks, incompletes, maybe one or two miscommunications
...I get that there were also a few catchable balls that were dropped
...I get that our rushing D is still below average
...I get that our D is still whiffing on some tackles
...I get that it's tough going up vs. Hoodie, even with a rook QB
...BUT...
...Couldn't Lombardi/Staley at LEAST come up with some more creative playcalling? For example...
...Couldn't Lombo at LEAST quit sending Rountree up the gut for nada, or almost nada, repeatedly, when we were behind in the 4th quarter and needed to PASS, PASS, PASS to catch up?
...Couldn't Lombo at LEAST have taken a few shots to Guyton or Mike Will deep? Even Palmer showed he could score deep with that impressive catch for that TD...but it was TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE...
...Couldn't Lombo at LEAST have taken ONE deep shot when we had the rock for that one play before the end of the first half?
...With the Cheatriot pass rush as fierce as it was, with the Pats DL's tipping multiple passes/hurries/sacks, couldn't Lombo/Staley at LEAST have called a few designed roll-outs, to buy Herbie more time to go through his check-downs, and/or chuck it deep?
...Couldn't the Bolts at LEAST have used a little deception in playcalling, from time to time? Offense was TOTALLY vanilla...
Sorry, this was a winnable game vs. a team with a formerly losing record. Not impressed with StaLombo's playcalling at all...
