After weeks of me being critical of Mike's playcalling, I have to stand up and applaud him for his play and game calling this past Sunday.

Just about everything I was hoping he would "go back" to he did. We saw a couple successful screens, some other short passes, a creative way to run Jackson successfully...and best of all A FAKE FIELD GOAL!

This is what I was looking for, and he delivered.

I have been highly critical of McCarthy to the point of wanting him gone. I am still not completely sold on him being a great head coach, but if he keeps up this type of creativity I will have to change my mind about him.

This was one of the best games he has called in some time. The runs were mixed in with the pass very good. There is only two things I think he could have done better. Not run the FB dive on both 4th down attempts. Switch up one of them. And I wish he would run Jackson on consecutive plays more rather than bringing in Kuhn.

Overall I loved the 3 step drops again. Thought he forgot what they were.

I agree with this post. Give credit where credit is due. MM appeared on top of things and not stubborn in his playcalling.

His record against was in danger of being 5-4. What would you have done?

I agree. Screens to both RBs and TEs. A few quick slants (I'd still like to see more on those).

On the fake field goal, (glad we're doing that, this will help negate blocked FGs as well.) Why did it take so long to set up and why would you flush out the formation? If you're going to show your hand before the snap, then it seemed like we took to long to actually get set and then snap the ball. either way, I'm pleased with the agressive approach. God bless the screen play, may we run that all season.

Too many dive plays to Kuhn, especially when we needed more than 3 yards. Too many shots downfield. And the back shoulder fades were way off, like they didn't even practice them.
At least they actually showed up and fought for 60 minutes. And WON.

1. Kuhn was the fatal blow against the Lions on that final drive. Nobody expected him to be a dud against the Vikings. If you did, please prove it by providing a link to where you said it.

2. Too many shots downfield? Are you kidding? Or does it cause you physical pain to say something good about MM?

Opposing DCs are well aware that we have 3 deep threats on our team and have to adjust accordingly. Nothing makes a DC's heart skip a beat faster than when a shot downfield is completed. You have to take those shots some time in the game.

3. The fades were on Aaron, not on MM. We're talking about "Thumbs up for MM."

Kuhn wasn't repeatedly running short yardage dive plays against the Lions. And I've supported MM for a long time. He just needs to stick with fundamentals more, that's all.

With how aggresive the Jets defense is I look to use that fullback dive formation as a setup for play action. Was hoping to see it late in the Viqueens game, but it is on tape now and something to watch for.
