Question regarding coaches intellect

Recommended Posts

If you're watching the GB-Giants game, GB throws a pass while NY is trying to get the ball back. Starks was bobbling the ball the whole time, they ruled it a fumble and recovery. NY uses it's last time out to stop the clock. Why not challenge the play- make them look at the tape and see that it was never a complete pass. If you're right, incomplete pass, 3rd and 15, still have a time out. If you're wrong, 3rd and 10 and no time out, which was the outcome anyway.

GB got a 1st down on the next play, so it was irrelevant, but still....

Also depends on when it occurs in the game, no point saving up challenges just before the 2 minute warning. Otherwise it's not wise to waste challenge flags on calls you're not likely to get overturned.

The timeout that you criticized them for using.

He's criticizing them for using the TO without challenging instead of challenging and taking whatever outcome follows. The worsg t case is that they end up exactly where they are, but there was potential upside if it was overturned.

I understand that, but he asked what there was to lose though and they could have lost the timeout that they used.

I'm still mindfuged over Rivera calling a timeout and then deciding to challenge though. Cannot believe I saw an NFL CotY winner do that.

They would have lost the time out either way. But if the call had been overturned, they would have kept the time out.

Yeah, McAdoo was not thinking at all in that situation. You basically kill two birds with one stone. You get an even longer rest from the review, and also a possible outcome where the play is overturned and you KEEP your timeout. Instead, he merely just wastes a timeout.

I have another game regarding a coaches intellect. In the Ravens/Redskins game, TWest was gashing them for like 60 yds in the 1st quarter alone (averaging like 9 YPC). Then (in 30 MPH winds mind you), they go on to pass it like 40 times after that 1st quarter and go on to lose the game. I really don't understand coaches in today's NFL. They make sh*t so complicated for no reason. Him only getting 11 carries yesterday was flat out ignorance.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
