It was the longest pass completion of the night, it certainly didn't set the tone in that department. (Besides causing the coaching staff to crawl into a shell)

There was only one more fumble the rest of the game it certainly didn't set the tone in that department. (Besides causing the coaching staff to crawl into a shell)

I'm shell shocked.

I could not agree with you more. It was if the coaches thought the surprise was why it worked and could only be used once. This type of offense(passing) is what masson is best at. While I think he has a tendency to abandon the pocket and run into the outside rush on occasion a quick striking pass attack is very suited to his talents. It would also open the run for draws and screens when their defense tried to adjust to put more pressure on chris.

if he lets a play at the very beginning of the game set the tone of the whole 2 and a half to 3 hour game then he is a pathetic coach and should have never got hired. I am starting to despise this man more an more by every quote he says.
