Or do they just make it up as they go?

2Q 1:39 79 yards No time outs.

9 yard pass to Williams

10 yard pass to Williams

6 yard pass to Muhammad

4 yard pass to Smith

spike

29 yards in 1:28

11 seconds to go...

6 yard pass Stewart and the first time out of bounds

35 yards in 1:34 but still 45 yards to the endzone or just 10 yards short of a FG attempt.

Hail mary and no TD.

Was playing the sidelines just to obvious?

Even Williams didn't go out of bounds.

To be honest, I think it had more to do with them not trying to save time and instead just seeing if they could break out on a play and score. So I guess the real problem is that they need to try to get at least something instead of settling for all or nothing.

Right, that was my point. I know we won the game so it doesn't really matter. But against a better team an extra FG might have been enough. 45 yards was all we really needed. The whole drive was just stupid and it wasn't the first time they have had poor clock management.

I want to know why with no time remaining didn't they let Lloyd have some fun and see if he can boot a long one (he doesn't have to make it really). We will never know if he can really hit those long ones till we let him try in-game.

"...and the Panthers go for a 75-yarder! ...It's up... it's going long! OH MY GOD HE MADE IT!"

My bad. I changed my reply without re-reading the original post and ended up missing your point.

And yeah, it's not the first time I've had to watch the clock expire because they've made no attempt to get out of bounds. But, then again, if they did do as you suggest and ended up with nothing, would you say it was too conservative (not necessarily "you" but anyone).

Man do you know how much relief that would be if he could kick 60 yarders consistently. Our offense could get away with moving the ball 6-8 yards from their own 40 yard line in three tries and not have to punt or fake a 4th down attempt. :lol:

I though it was more around 62 yards. Thats more in the realm of possibility.

He could serve two incredibly important ST functions. Scoring from long distance and knocking the piss out of it on KO.

A kick that long might have a lower trajectory, which makes it easier to block, and if its blocked, it can be returned.

I strive for the impossible, my friend. :cool:

Don't use your logic to rain on our party!

Oh lets see a struggling O on a 0-3 team. I think that sounds like the perfect time for a like motivation. If he hits a 62 yarder to end half time that locker room would be insane you would have these guys more pumped up then they have been all season. Its worth the chance IMO. But I also would have gone for it on that 4th. Im not at all conservative.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
