I don’t really agree. I think this will be Gibbs coming out game. He found his rhythm in the 4th quarter against the falcons. I anticipate more of the same tonight.
I thought cousins comments were extremely telling. To paraphrase: he said he could have called the spike himself “I can do anything I want” but doesn’t like to get into the habit of taking control. I guess it surprised me. We all watch a lot of football, I didn’t think someone like cousins would be so neutered by the headset. I’ve always felt QBs should call the plays. They are the guys out there. It’s the NFL. At least the top tier guys.
Just watched the gameday highlights on nfl network. They run through every game. The lions/falcons highlights was the last game they showed. Even the **** game of jags and Texans were shown before. Just awful awareness by nfl network.
I still can’t get over the Jags allowing themselves to get drawn in by the combine numbers of Walker leading up to the draft and taking him over Hutchinson. That was so fortunate for the lions franchise. What a horrible call from the franchise.
Seattle scores 37 again. The panthers will struggle to win games this season. Bad roster. Bryce young will be good though I think.
how about Jacksonville? Everyone kept saying how good they were this offseason and how they the next it team. Got lit up by the Texans at home today.
Analytics dont call plays though. That’s the thing. Relying on analytics means nothing if you execute poorly and call bad plays. The FB dive shouldn’t exist anymore. Lions found that out too. Spread em out and it off from under center. Always.
I think it’s the right call. Less than a yard and the games over when your defense struggles to get stops. Plus if the Vikings do score you’d likely have time on the clock with the short field.
Problem is the 4th down call. Same as the lions. I would assume going into the drive they knew if they got to 4th and short they would go for it. And their best play is to allow the Vikings to stack the box and call a dive for a FB? It’s generic and poor execution. That call is bad. That’s in kellen Moore probably.
Staley isn’t a great coach, but I liked the call to go for it. If you need 1 yard to win the game I always prefer going for it.
Cowboys defense doesn’t look as good when you’re not playing against Zach white and Daniel jones and you play a real QB like, checks notes…
Josh Dobbs. Cardinals up 15-3 in the 2nd quarter.
Oh my god chargers. 4th and 1 from the Vikings 24 and they hand it off to the fullback, who is stuffed. Vikings ball. Staley, my man, you ain’t it. Chargers love to do the dumbest ****.
And saints miss the FG and lose. They deserve to lose, outscored by 18 in the 4th quarter and embarrassing clock management under 2 mins. So many coaches are aggressively bad at clock management.
Vikings can’t convert with 1st and goal from the 4. Turnover on downs. Chargers get the ball with under 3 mins left and a chance to ice the game. Saints driving into GB territory. Just need a FG to win.
First down chargers! Allen has dominated.
