    Bad play call on Rivers?

    Did Rivers change the play at the LOS? Ken Whisenhunt did send in Mathews and McClain and they started in a goal line run formation.

    1) Jason Verrett (CB) TCU
    2) Demarcus Lawrence (OLB) Boise St
    3) Will Sutton (DT) Arizona St
    4) Jarvis Landry (WR) LSU
    5) John Urschel (OC) Penn St
    6) Shamar Stephen (DT) UConn
    7) Brock Coyle (ILB) Montana

        They ran on another one of those downs, granted it was Woodhead but still a run play. So if true, they called run plays on at least 2 of the 3 plays from the 1.

                  A woodhead run that counts on deception out of a passing formation is still a bad play call. No excuse not to try and muscle it in.

                    I agree that they should have run Mathews or ever run QB sneaks to get it in. However, it seems that they did call at least two run plays and Rivers "audibled" out of one of them. A team that believes in their line and RB's will just run it from 1 yard out (see Wash against us). SD has been a finesses team for far too long and it really hurt us today.

                      if you've noticed, of the very few run plays we do run, almost half of that is just a draw play.

                        They had the personel to use a jumbo package this time. I can't believe they didn't try it. Maybe Rivers changed it, maybe not. Even the Skins commentators were shocked at our play calls. I thought for sure Mathews was going over the top and I was just hoping he wouldn't fumble.
