The game is on the line, you have under five minutes left, you are in your own territory, you need a drive down the field and score to win. Run, run, run. 

The game is on the line, you need to score either a field goal or td to secure a win, it is first and goal within three yeards of a touchdown. Call a passing play on first down.

 

 

I seriously just straight up don't understand this god awful play calling. It was like this all game! On a side not, McDermott made excellent half time adjustments, and truly coached a great game, can't help it that his starting corner is Worley.

I can understand the element of surprise on passing on 1st HOWEVER simce our toss sweeps were so effective to that point one more and we score.

We outsmart AND shoot ourselves in the foot better than anyone.

We have shot ourselves in the foot so many times this season that the foot is just a bloody stump at this point.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
