I am not ripping Schottenheimer for the 2nd down call. Sanchez fucked it up royally. It is the 3rd and 1 call that I have problem with. The reason you can do whatever you want do on 2nd and 1 is because you can RUN it in on 3rd and 1.
I don't think you can blame Schotty's play calling in this game. The execution of the offense has been really poor in the second half.
A lot more than Sanchez. They at least can complete a 10 yard pass without sailing it high, bouncing it, throwing it to the other team, or throwing it wide...
