it was only on that last possession and the last few plays of the game that moore was the one tapping the brakes. he said that he just wanted to get more points on the board and that it didn't matter how they got there, just as long as they were to make it a two possession game. as much as i wanted to see them go all the way i can respect that decision. pretty mature, actually.

as far as the rest of the time running on third and whatever..all the coaches call. they want to shake up some teams and confuse them? throw on third down. everyone knows by now that 90% of the time we are going to be running then.

It's called playing not to lose, rather than playing to win.

No, its called playing to get a two score lead and put the game away instead of not taking dumb risks just to appease some fans.

Take a look at that play, Moore definitely saw Pass Coverage on that play. The guy said even said the same things that people on this forum LOVE to preach.

"My whole mindset there was we are down here, let's just try to pound the ball in,” Moore said. “We have a big guy in our backfield."

Isn't this the same stuff the armchair QB/Head Coach/Offensive Coordinators around here love to preach every time we lose a game because of Jake's Arm?

Like it or not, Matt made the smart play in that situation. I know you guys would like to see him throw, but a part of being quarterback is about picking your shots. You don't just throw into pass coverage every time (unless your P. Manning).

...which is still playing not to lose, haha. It's just an expression for not taking chances and to maintain a lead.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with what he did, he got a win out of it. But I just think that he could've helped himself out by taking chances against the easiest team left on our schedule.

This is true. Sorry, nothing against you, its just some of the stuff I see on this board is really pathetic. Probably the wrong thread to take it out on.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
