Yeah, wet and heavy ball, sloshy field that could have the kicker slipping - plus, if you screw it up the Jags are in good field position. I say it was the right call too. Make them march it downfield...Which they did, thanks to a couple of passes and a bad pass interference call. We squeaked it out, but an ugly W is a W.

I'm not arguing with you guys. When I posted this, the game was still on and ^He was running clock deciding. It's easy for anybody to now after the fact to criticize. Nobody here is man enough to admit that this call could have costed us the game... I'm Super glad it didn't, but I didn't like the call.

We just picked up our 3rd win in 2 yrs...

I am Not mad

I love how fans are entirely ignorant of how weather conditions impact situational football calls. Under normal circumstances, you probably trot your kicker out there for the try. MAYBE you do it. With the wet conditions... NO NFL COACH IN THE LEAGUE would have tried that. When you have to plant the ball in pure MUD in 3 inches of water, the trajectory is impacted. Mare was stoked when he put that 35 yard kick through and it was as flat as a pancake.

You punt the ball there 10/10 times. The only reason we went for 2 there is because the extra point was no gimmie in this weather.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
