I don't see so many bad play calls. I see terrible execution. Sherman gets Wallace open twice per game deep, but the ball is missed. He can't effectively call run plays, since every play is stopped at the line.
I think people just want someone to blame because we don't score points. But it's football 101 that this stuff starts at the line. Without protection to run or ability to keep the D in check by running the ball, no amount of play calling can cover that stink. And we STILL have basically a 4,000 yard 2nd year QB.
Sherman was dumb at times. The first Buffalo loss was all him. Why they are throwing with a lead and not running out the clock late in that game is beyond stupid. He could have taken a knee, punted, and Miami still wins that game. The Ravens game we didn't try to run the ball at all. I mean like we had almost no rushing attempts. WITH THAT SAID....its tough to call plays when your o-line is god awful and can't do anything. Can't run the ball and your QB is getting killed week after week. If the o-line was better I think less heat would be on Sherman as at times the offense wouldn't have looked so bad. But Sherman was really bad at times too.
