Conservative football by Fisher.

I hate his conservative play calling, but mostly because it's extremely predictable. I can call where the ball is going 8/10 times from my couch. (except that 56 yarder to gage. Tripped me out) Especially if we have the lead.
We don't have to go pass-happy, or start taking unnessecary risks, but maybe a pass on first down or passes beyond 5 yards deep every now and then. Maybe even a screen pass to a guy that has a chance at getting more than 5 yac.

 

I don't know. Sure there are things that someone could say to change from the outside looking in but this "conservative Fisherball style" is a big reason we are 10-0 IMO.

Fisher has always stated that he isn't trying to mask anything. You know we are going to run it? Good then we'll still run it down your throat. We have been very successful with this unless the defense completely sells out to stop the run. Then we open up a bit more and take some strikes down the field. IMO that is one area we could go to a little more. And that is the deep ball when they completely sell out like in the G.B , Chi, and Indy games. A couple more would have been nice IMO.

Less risks are a good thing. We are built well for Fisherball so I say we stick with it.


10-0 GOTTA LOVE IT !!!!

 

Calling running plays a lot doesn't bother me as much about Fisher as when he does things like, kick a FG at the end of a half when there's still time to try for a TD.
But overall, this season I got no gripe with him...

 

It is our conservative style that keeps great offenses off the field. The mistake is to try and out shoot them. Let them get frustrated. Let them gamble and lose. And then we will finish them like we did our last 10 teams. Titans 32 Jets 10.

 

as long as we're winning, why replace it? I cannot find a reason to complain. I think there are reasons why we were a Wild Card team last year, compared to now.

Last year we asked VY to go downfield, and make big plays a lot of times, and he failed, cost us some games, I think.

Now, with Collins, we play to our strengths, and don't try to be something we aren't. If we tried to make Collins Tom Brady we would fail miserably.

It's not a fan-pleasing offense per-se, but winning pleases me more than "Favre" play, with tons of TDs, but also tons of INTs.

That's my take on it. I would love to see Collins air it out all the time, but I trust Fisher. He's the coach, I'm a fan.

 

Or when we have:


a: time on the clock

b: timeouts to use



and he decides to let Bironas try a 50 yarder for the game winner. That annoyed me quite a bit.

 

49-2 when entering the 4th with a lead speaks for itself.
