I blame Mike Tice

I pretty sure Motownbear will agree with me on this one but this guy just sucks as his play calling. A few years ago I remember Ron Turner running Garette Wolf up the middle 3 times in a row in Seattle game I just shooked my head on the dumb play calling, well I can say the same about tice throwing the ball to hester. On one series the mighty hester package was 0-2 on passed thrown his way and it looked like on both of those plays he gave up or threw his arms up looking for a penalty. Well he sucks at wr and out lack luster coaching staff seems to be going back to dumb mode trying to find a place for Hester on the offense. When Campbell came into the game we went into prevent offense mode and tried running the ball and Houston made adjustments stacking the line. Houston makes adjustments and we still stick to the same lame ass game plan. This game was winnable yet we seemed to play that prevent offense in this game. Why in the hell did we pick up Bush and only have in rush the ball 3 times. What happened to the screen plays we use to use with matt forte. I would say Ron Turner calls better plays than tice.

I'm thinking the shiny door knob I'm looking at calls better plays than Tice.

And here I thought you would blame Jerry Angelo

Global warming, J' Webb ass sucking, Hurricane Sandy, earth quakes, lame ass draft picks, yes I would blame him for those but piss poor offensive play calling, I blame Tice.

Tice is to blame. His last chance to show he is worth his position will be next week. I said I give him time until this MNF game. Must win in my books. Even with Cutler out, we have to win against SF

I'd like to point some things out:

1.) Now I have big Tice's biggest critic all season, but there is the possibility (I repeat, POSSIBILITY) of injury management effecting his game planning. Its possible he hasn't been running Forte as much to give him time to heal. Bennett, Jeffery, and Forte have all sustained injuries this season and they could be concerned about making them worse.
SOLUTION: Run bush more, yes he fumbled but you have to have more faith in your personnel and not throw them in a trash heap every time they don't execute, if execution becomes a consistent problem then you do something.

2.) Misuse is rampant in the Tice system. The most compelling example is Kellen Davis. The guy fumbles the ball after he catches it on a big hit. Okay, KD has some value as a pass catcher, but ONLY in the fucking end zone. I don't see why it needs to be anything more than that, there is a reason Martz only ever through to the guy in the end zone and I think we just saw it Sunday Night. The second example, as many have pointed out, is HESTER. Holy shit this kid is bad, he was always bad at receiver and he is never going to get any better.
SOLUTION: Only call Kellen Davis' number in the End Zone. Only use Hester in the return game, I'd rather see Weems or Dane S. if there isn't another option.

I'm saying this here because I don't know where else to say it: Watching Kellen Davis get boo'd off the field after an injury made me sick. What a classless, immoral, ignorant thing to do. I lost a lot of respect for our fans over that. Sure, the guy shit the bed and maybe cost us a game, I get that you're not happy with him. But for Christ sake the man is hurt. Blame Tice for putting him in the position to fail over and over again.

Mike Tice's play calling sucks indeed, but what do we do? Do we promote Bates and give Cutler his 3th OC coach? Give Tice one more year to figure things out, or get a new one in as the 3th OC in 3 years? I would like to see Bates being promoted if Tice's playcalling still sucks balls when we play our last game of the season, I don't think the team would benefit to bring out a new OC, I rather see us with Bates I assume he got some what influense on the playcall and it wouldn't be a new guy the team had to learn and vice versa

He doesn't have the pencil behind his ear w/the pixie dust.

the biggest concern at this time cause of tice suckage we might be staring at yet another OC change and we will lose an over rated oline coach to boot if that happens. And if they do nothing we are looking at more suckage.

The other team played well but it looks real obvious jay takes control on this offense and forces it to work hence jason will need to to be successful here.every team will stack the line so counter act it.dang this is pro ball and we seem to put the whole offense on jay.where is the third down package like bennett has hands i think asking davis to catch a game maker is a lost point.here is a idea bring in players who can actually catch the ball on a consistent basis like evan bennett matt marshall and we never see weems.how many bricks fall before mike uses his best players.the hester package needs to use his speed where he has a chance to be productive like the plays he has success with over the years
