Maryland Snowflakes - The Offense

*We like beating these guys by 7*

Fixed it for you.  Last year's game was 34-27.

3 hats might be too much for Sherrone to handle. No shame in that. But Jim needs to really look at this decision again for next week, because the O just looks off when Moore is in the big chair.

Sherrone had nothing to do with CJ running an amazing deep route and JJ simply missing a wide open deep ball.  Just cannot miss those.

It’s impossible to make accurate judgments of Moore in this situation. A fundamental part of the structure of the team isn’t functional right now.

And in past years I’ve criticized Harbaugh’s influence on other QBs, it’s necessary to state that the influence he has on JJ, which is surely non-trivial, is missing. 

Harbaugh isn’t going to be there to slap JJ’s pads in the NFL. JJ needs to step up.

Some of it was JJ not being locked in (like the missed play action that should have been 6).  But more of it was Moore's terrible play calling constantly putting JJ into the worst possible passing down situations.   

Regressing is overstating it imo.  The pick (and the throw before it) seemed to be him getting antsy, playing hero ball.  They have been able to rein that in when it matters. 
The CJ play sucked, I do think he has a habit of putting too much on the ball when he’s late, but sometimes guys do miss.  To his credit he did make some big plays on 3rd and 4th down.  I’m more worried about Moore than JJ at this point.

Agree. I'd give a C- for the offense, and I'm probably being generous.  21 points scored against that lousy defense won't cut it.  No excuse for such conservative play calling when the game was on the line very late.  Yeah the pass blocking wasn't good, but there were a lot of other plays they could have called to spread out Maryland's D.  Why hold back when Maryland was less than a TD behind?  

Not giving me warm and fuzzies going into next Saturday 

Last year we crapped the bed against Illinois at home before the game in Columbus and lost our running game. I am not worried.

Moore has shown he can do a good job calling plays when Harbaugh is sitting there with veto power, but it seems like the responsibility of ultimate authority causes him to start worrying too much about making mistakes, which causes him to change and become overly conservative.

Three horrible passes by JJ. Interception at end of first half preceded by near interception and missing Cojo for wide open touchdown...

Part of the problem was JJ not getting into any rhythm, which was partially due to the play calling.  

Listen Frank, don’t eat the yellow snow right there where the huskies go.

1000 wins, and we beat MD at their home after a draining away game last week.

We’re at home.  We recovered well after a near loss to Illinois last year right before The Game and we were down a huge part of our offensive fire power when Blake couldn’t go.

Next week is a different universe entirely.
