I realized a lot of players and teams don't think while on the field

All Flacco needed was 1 yard and he had a timeout. All he had to do was run it and pick that first and call a timeout. Now you got at least one chance to score a TD, if you cant, throw it out the back of the end zone

Remember that one game, can't remember, when all we needed was 5 yards. And Cam threw the ball unsuccessfully 4 times to the end zone to win it. 5 yards..... ??? Cam had WIDE OPEN running lanes. Thats not smart. After the 2nd try your thought process should kick in and its time to analyze the whole situation. I see so many common sense things its unbelievable

Are you really criticizing his play on the last drive of his FIRST NFL game?! Plus, that had nothing to do with his common sense, but instead that was Cam trying to prove to the media that he is a pocket passer, not a run first qb (which was indeed unfortunate for us in that situation)

Naw my point stands at joat says

Cam did that once though either at home or on the road. We was down and he threw it 4 straight times to the endzone unsuccessfully when all we needed was 5 yards. It was so many games we had to come back and do something, can't remember which team it was

Its not that relevant though

I realize a lot of fans are excellent in knowing the right thing to do after a plan happens. I realize a lot of fans know what is best in every situation.

Minus the fact that they only had 1 TO left... so if you use it and have a play the ends in a sack... intentional grounding or with a 10 sec runoff rule the game can be over without even a FG attempt... also in that situation the patriots know you have to go to the endzone so it makes making a play that much more difficult.

I'm sure like the 2nd down play they had been driving the ball very well on the NE secondary so why not try to go for another shot when you have the chance... Also the ravens running game had not been dominating the Patriots front 7... and Vince had been showing the line up, so why run and maybe not even get a shot to the endzone? Now that is what people here call fox ball and what people always criticize.

Hindesight always 20/20 again... most coaches don't ice their own kickers. In the past when a coach does and they miss he gets the blame... now if he doesn't ice his own kicker or call a TO and the kicker miss it's his fault.... SMH.

Yea I understand all the possibilities that come with that TO. My problem is Flacco throwing a dangerous pass which got batted down when he had a TO and only one yard. And he was already rolling out

Icing his own kicker is a good point as well. I thought that too. It just seem like that one TO coulda did a lot to change the game and it went unused for a team on the comeback

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
