Hi, I am Jbro and have a question...

 

On the last play of the game, why not give it to your fastest player and run backwards?

 

I have been saving my first thread started in years for something hard hitting and I believe this topic is it.

I thought they would but if someone forced a fumble we would be moving towards their goal. 

Yes, BUT you run backwards and then throw a deep bomb out of bounds instead of Cam giving them a chance to have a Hail Mary

    All this is quite well and good. But....the play worked. atl did not get the ball back did they? No. No reason to find a better way, when the first way worked.

 

    And I am sorry for this. But really. People were worried about a Hail Mary from inside the 10? C'mon Man.

You have to get it back to the line of scrimmage or it is a penalty. Running towards the other teams goal line is never an option unless you want to be known for one of the most boneheaded plays of all time.

I think chaos pretty much has it right. You don't want to risk a fumble especially when running backwards since then you don't have any additional of your own guys to cover up the fumble. A fumble in that situation could lead to a TD for the other team and since was a 3 point game a lose for us. I think what we did was the right play call but damn do our guys need to learn how to block.

Because then you are risking a turnover/fumble moving TOWARD your opponents end zone.

You realize that "deep bomb" would be thrown under heavy pressure, correct?  And that it would 1. have to be outside the tackle box and 2. thrown pass the line of scrimmage or it would be intentional grounding, correct?

Now, I'm not sure if the game could end on an intentional grounding on 4th down or not.  That is a twist of the rules I've never thought about.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      The last one was Darnold. I guess we could run it back?

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      I'm not denying any reality. I've been watching it for 3 years. You've been arguing that he is significantly improving beating the top teams in the NFL. I'm arguing he isn't. He may be part of the wins but his part is not significant in those wins. Who are these top teams that he is leading the way, putting the entire team on his shoulders and carrying them to victory when no one else can? Where are these dominant performances against Super Bowl contenders that leave no question Bryce is the franchise QB we traded a fortune to get at #1?  He hasn't done anything that any other mid tier QB isn't already doing. He was brought into this league expected to start at a 7. That is what he needed to be to be a legitimate day 1 starter for any serious NFL team. He started at a 1. He's improved to a 6 on a really good day, a 9 on his outlier ATL game, a 3 on most days, and a 0/1 on his worst. He's still below where he needs to be. It doesn't matter that he's improved. His improvement may look significant overall to you because he started as the worst in NFL history, but even so, his improvement still leaves him worse than your average NFL QB. I'm not doing any mental gymnastics. You're making the argument that Bryce is key to us winning these games. I don't think he is. I think you replace him with 20 other QBs and the outcome is the same or better. Judging by the statistics you openly don't use or believe in, Bryce is in the bottom 3rd of the NFL as a QB. The eye test for this year says he is the bottom 3rd in the NFL. You yourself say he should be replaced. But I'm the one doing gymnastics?

      I think it's because in the last half of that season (9 games) he had a total of 8 TD's to 13 INT's.
