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.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
