Dickenson trying to be the smartest coach in the league instead of settling for competent coaching and trusting his players to execute. The obvious game plan was to control the ball on the ground, never let BC's offence get into a rhythm, tire out their defence and dominate the 2nd half like they have all year. But no, he has to try to be Mr. Big Brain and go with the short passing offence that has been mediocre every other time they've tried it.

He might even be ruining Maier. Remember when he started his career with 3 straight 300+ yard games? Not getting back to those numbers throwing it behind the line of scrimmage more than half the time.

And that leaves aside his perplexing game management. Unorthodox play calls can work, but not if you are predictable at when you use them. 3rd and 2 and within field goal range? Give it a 50/50 chance the Stamps try something tricky.
