Oh my ****ing god. That's not a bad call. Most OCs call that play in that situation. You take what the defense gives you, especially when your OL can't block for ****. What do you guys want, a five receiver set and a QB on IR, or a two man route that is easily contained with 6 or 7 under? You take the draw and if it doesn't work, try to play defense with 4 minutes. This isn't madden where 3rd and 20 you can run your whole playbook; there isn't much in reality that you can run in that down and distance. ****ing Ravens won by throwing a screen on 4th and 27. Colts won with Luck throwing a 3 yard dumpoff. When a defense calls a play to specifically keep you from getting 20+ yards or whatever it is you need, your chances of executing the play where you try to get it all is AT BEST equally as low as throwing a screen or running a draw. Now take your coaches cap off, wipe your tears, and go to bed.

29 rushes against the 2nd worst pass defense in the NFL... That's brilliant.
I am not saying KG called a great game, but i just want to point out that eli changed the play a few times resulting in the shotgun draw to bradshaw. the screen to bradshaw on 3rd and long wasnt the best call. But eli audibled to a good number of runs today. I take it those run calls were the main cause of your frustration
