Mark Jones gets us a solid return to the 36 yard line. 45 seconds left on the clock, two timeouts left. We need about 25 yards to give Kasey a shot at it, maybe 30-35 to be in his "range".

We run one play up the middle then head to the locker room in a one possession game. Thoughts?

***edit - opps...didnt realize this was allready being discussed in another thread.

we played not to lose by pretending an 8 point lead is an automatic win.

My thoughts exactly. And this is exactly my buddies mentality as well. Needless to say we lost, and he got COMPLETELY shut down by everybody in the room. "But we're winning" doesn't really work if at the end of the game, you've lost...just sayin.

Scenario:

Announcer:"Jake drops back looks to his left; their's nothing there

Jake heaves it up to Smith! It's intercepted by Webster! Only one man in front of him!

He makes him miss Giants TD! "

Madden: "Wow, what a stupid play"

Huddlers: "WTF WE GONE LOOZED DA GAME; FIRE FOXZ FTW"

:Rolls eyes:

Yeah I see what you're saying but I'd rather have been up by eight than that scenario happen.

We weren't scared throwing the ball on any other drive, what exactly makes the situation so different by have only 45 seconds left? It's a still a drive, and I wish the coaching staff would have recognized it as such.

Kneeling to go in to the half, that close to fg range, and with that many timeouts is one of the stupid habits of the NFL like squib-kicking towards the end of the game, so the opposing team won't have a big return.

IDK man; our D just isn't what it used to be...had they been the D that I could trust series after series from earlier this season we'd win this game easily...but to face the facts we aren't IMO...I still believe and all but we'll be a good team until our D is back to what it was earlier this season then we'll be GREAT.

28 points should be more than enough to win any football game. I blame our defense for falling apart, but I think some blame should go to our offense too for thinking they could rely on a defense who has let everybody down these past few weeks.

D@@@@@@@@@@@MMMMMMMMNNNNNNN I feel like we just lost a playoff game!!!:mad::mad::mad:

I mean crap; but when our D finally starts coming up big and gets a 3 and out...the offense goes three and out in OT... WTF!

If everyone knew the up the middle and hit the locker room was coming,all the more reason to take a shot or two down the field. Even if you don't score a td or even a FG it sends a message. To the Giants but also your team to keep the foot on the pedal.

And take a guess why the Giants scored a td instead of a FG to win?

THE SPREAD was -3. LOL

counterfactual speculation....

this wouldnt even be up for discussion if we would have won.

I am more thrown off by the terrible play calling when they pinned us inside the 1. we run-run-run-punt -- way too safe and predictable. with the pressure and situation that would have been the perfect time for a flea flicker cause they were selling out on the run big time.

I think it would. I actually called a friend at halftime and was bitching about this...

Problem with the flea flicker is when your that deep, you cant call a play that takes that long to develop, you dont have time.

As far as the triple run at the goal line, we didnt get enough breathing room for Baker on 1st or 2nd down to every attempt a pass. If anyone noticed we split out Smith on this series and they had a CB on him and a Saftey over the top. We basically had 10-on-9 in the box and couldnt run there (about the only time all night), which was kind of disapointing.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.

      Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
