FINALLY, OTHER PEOPLE ARE REALIZING THAT JOSH MCDANIELS IS A PROBLEM

10/1/2014

Well, it certainly is about time other people started to doubt Josh McDaniels.  Hopefully it doesn't take Belichick much longer to either see the light or maybe just do something in response to his pathetic game planning and in game playcalling.
As most Patriots fans are aware, a certain former offensive coordinator was recently relieved of his head coaching duties at KU.  You know, the guy who actually ran the offense and won 3 Superbowl rings.  

Anyway, instead of just typing up the same drivel about how I hate the job McDaniels' has been doing of late, I'm just going to copy some of my comments from previous posts and include the link in case you want to read the complete post.

Unfortunately, the website I wrote for at the beginning of last season is no longer functioning so I won't be able to link to those rants. 

January 1, 2014- Now, what is it that makes me want to say "see you later" to McDaniels?  I'm really not sure I can pinpoint it, but I'll give it a go.  In my eyes he doesn't seem to be able to adjust his coaching to his players or even care to do that.  Yes, Tom Brady has a bro-crush on him, but I think he's just either stuck in the past or likes that the offense is catered to him and his skills and knowledge base.
January 9, 2014-To be successful this week and give the Patriots an opportunity to play next week, McDaniels needs to play to our strengths until the Colts show that they can take them away.  Yes, Tom Brady is a future hall of famer, but our strength this year is our running game.     
January 13, 2014-I believe this week's offensive success really needs to be traced back to the great game plan by Josh McDaniels.  If you've read my posts in the past, you know that I am pretty critical of the job he does.  This week he did a great job and deserves nothing but praise. 

The most obvious thing that Josh did was call for more running plays (something I've been wanting since September).

February 1, 2014-
First off, the Broncos did not stop the Patriots' running game.  The running game was stopped by a game plan that appeared to focus on beating a weak secondary.  So, instead of playing to our strength we tried to play to the opposing team's weakness.

After Cincinnati Game- Going into last week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, I though we would see a substantial amount of running plays because of the matchup and the weather forecast.  When I watched the game I wasn’t happy with the play calling.  Immediately after the game I still wasn’t happy.  Three days later, guess what, I’m still not happy.  I completely don’t understand why we insisted on throwing the ball.  Did we change our game plan because WR Danny Amendola could play and RB Stevan Ridley couldn’t, or was throwing the ball our original plan? 

After Loss to Jets- Once again, I’m going to point to the Patriots love affair with throwing the ball as a reason why we didn’t win.  Yes, there were times when we tried to run the ball and were stuffed almost immediately, but we still managed to average 4.5 yards per attempt.  Only attempting to run the ball 20 times while throwing the ball 46 times isn’t going to get the Patriots many victories.
