Turnovers aside, the Broncos offense would not adjust to the Seahawks coverage and telegraphing of the Broncos plays. Instead, Adam Gase and Peyton relied on mere route variations and very strange times for play action (3rd and 17). While the Seahawks varied their formations, used motion, effective short passes and used the threat of Percy Harvin to disguise and deceive the Broncos, the Broncos offense relied on the same plays with different route-trees as the catalyst for the big play. Jason Garrett has the same belief that the plays themselves are effective enough if executed properly, that there is no need to draw up situational, trick or motion/formation plays to thwart a defense that is not being fooled by his game plan. Norv Turner will not veer from his gameplan either. Manning wants to use more vertical routes than horizontal however, the Seahawks were not even concerned about the Broncos using stretch plays, outside pitches, reverses, or anything to bring the defenders wide. The Broncos only tried the very ineffective bubble screens on man coverage which was strange. The Seahawks used Percy Harvin. The Broncos had Holliday but did not use him despite his big play ability, decoy and especially the element of surprise.
Watching Peyton Manning last night use essentially the same finite forms of plays over and over trying to get different results was tragic, that his menu only had a finite number of well-documented plays based on a rigid philosophy; while the Seahawks, bound by nothing, could use anything they wanted on offense, and simply played to the Bronco game tape on defense.
Felt very familiar last night like the Cowboys/Saints game from this past season.
See if you recognize anything from Adam Gase in this description of him:
But, similar to Jason, if there is no dynamic QB who is essentially coaching each play (in the case of Manning) or keeping a poor play from failing (in the case of Romo), Gase would not still be employed as an over prepared offensive coordinator.
