This game's not close if you all had Dixon tonight.**

our playcalling was ****
we went entire series without calling a running play
they never stopped us running the option- yet we rarely ran it
we wasted 3 series, 2 with good field position with Russell at QB\


our OL getting crushed in pass protection, dropped passes, Cam Newton, and ****** playcalling are why we lost

Don't disagree about the playcalling. At times it was downright perplexing. But I think it would have been different had Dixon been on the field. In fact, I am sure of it.

It's amazing that we could invent a scenario in which he would not be missed. You are right about the playcalling. I cut Coach M a bit of slack for trying to develop TR, but this was a game we could have won. The incomplete pass that followed the onside kick set a tone of ineffectiveness that stayed with us for the rest of the game.

Another myth this game busted is that losing the CN sweepstakes doesn't matter. It actually does suck that we didn't get that big quarterback. Having never seen him before, I can only say wow.

It's cool that you're wrong about Dixon. At least you put it out there.

Maybe we didn't give it to the RB's as much b/c Mullen doesn't think that's as good of an option for us as it was last year. The RB core doesn't do nearly as good of a job at making something out of nothing, and it might be the least talented RB core we've had since I can remember.

I agreed w/ Coach that we always have had good RB's and that its normally easy to find a talented player at that position since they're a dime a dozen, but it's obvious we'll miss having that workhorse back which we've pretty much always had.

We'll be able to offset that deficiency by running Relf and the WR sweeps and options, and we seem to have a more diverse running game this year like UF did when Harvin got so many carries and got the ball in different ways. Totally agree on playcalling though, but I think Dan will realize and regret that and we'll see more of the OM type game plan from now on

He threw a couple of nice balls and a whole bunch of ****** ones. But hey, he did get one of those 30 TDs you're expecting.
