I am not sure why everyone is giving Jones such a pass on the play calling. First of all he and Steichen seemed tied at the hip, he spends all his time supposedly working on the game plan with Stiechen but apparently has no input once the game starts, has no ability to change the play at the line of scrimmage and just gets only one play to choose from. This cannot be true, if it is we are screwed going forward. I guess I am to fucking old but I can guarantee Unitas or Manning wouldn't have sat there and run plays sent in if they felt there was a better option. I remember Unitas saying you need a feel for the game that only people in the game have when calling plays. But then again those men were leaders
