Why does it take Matty 60 throws to get 300 yards passing?

Not sure if I should blame Mularkey or Ryan for this. Unacceptable.

[RFlagg]

A big fat 0 for YAC doesn't help.

Actually, I was looking at the high amount of passing attempts around the league and the low yards they racked up in comparison to the completions and attempts.

BINGO!!! Look at the pathetic, boring, predictable routes our WR's run. Very few of their routes will allow for YAC. Most are all comeback routes and curl patterns. Not designed for YAC.

i don't know if it's ryan or mularky but we don't take many attempts downfield. maybe ryan is trying to be too careful, maybe mularky isn't calling the right plays to attack.

[ConnFalcon]

Because it seems MM cut out every play over 30 yards in our playbook.

This, and the few drops didn't help either.

[MattM12]

yea wtf, lets air it out! look at Ryan in college, alot of deep bombs

Thats what I was going to say. The Steelers did a great job of tackling and not allowing our WR's to break free for big gains.

I think it's the mike m. When Ryan changed the play at the line it seemed to work more effectively

Actually, I don't think Matt checked out of plays enough at the line. Pitt had 8 to 9 guys in the box, and we still ran right into the blitz. Pitt was timing the snap count perfectly, and there were no changes not even a hard count.

It seemed to me that we ran about 3 different routes the entire game...

Just once I want to see a WR that has daylight in front of him when he catches it, lets say like maybe running across the middle of the field. Not coming back towards the QB (curl) or **** near out of bounds (out). Ok maybe I was being generous with 3 routes

Seems as though some of our passing tree limbs have been trimmed.

Every 300+ game Ryan has thrown the maximum attempts the average was 22 of 33 completed. Other than that is has everything to do with YAC. I'm guessing playing calling in the routes because it seems like there is always a defender sitting on top of the intended receiver.

[Osiruz]

none of our recivers seem open even when they catch the ball ever, the routes are very primitive. Comeback and catch and try not to get murdered by two dbs in the right spot.

have we ever ran play with a route more than 10 yards?
