If they had gotten the yard like they typically do, the call would have been fine.  Since it did not work, as Marv Levy once said, it obviously was the wrong call post hoc.

They DID get a yard.  Problem is they needed about 4.5 feet!

Based on my math, it was a poor call.  But...depending on your guess at Utility Function, your decision may vary.  What was EGREGIOUSLY stupid was calling the time out.  Had we have waited til they had the ball, it likely would've saved 20-30 seconds.  Just enough (if we got the ball back) to have a chance of scoring.

 

p.s. Based on JA's response & how he said it, I don't think he was happy w/ the call & it was made by someone above him, be it Brady or Mcdufus.

He’ll never said he doesn’t

 

 also, we just needed another stop that TO wasn’t the difference we were not going to get it back

 

 idk what game people were watching to complain about that we weren’t stopping them

 

Between making them do 3rd down over that wasted 40 seconds, and using the TO, there could have been 1:20 on the clock when they punted.

We stopped them on third down and they punted right after that.

In all serious though they knew it was over when they got to punt. You really think we'd get a stop if they wanted to get a first?

He threw like 2 deliberate incompletions on that drive to save time/timeouts

 

Yeah, you could tell Josh knew he couldn't burn a TO.

Then change it or spike it.  They were successful on 13/14 sneaks going into yesterday so saying it’s never the right call is silly.  

It's never the right call. You cannot run the ball there

 

But go ahead w your grand inquiry into one of the most amateurish series of calls I've ever witnessed

Spot on, man.  People claim we never get stopped on these, but yet like you said, we’d gotten stopped on one in earlier in the game.  Can’t take the chance of the clock running after the play like we did, should have been the pass/run option for first three downs at least.

 

And btw, ever questioning whether Josh should have audibled bc of the situational aspect.  The coaches need to know better about the situational elements, Josh shouldn’t be expected to have to question all of the play calls too on top of everything.  Yes, if something looks funny he needs to audible, but on a QB sneak, he’s likely going to think he can get there almost every time.

He just s an All Pro QB and the likely MVP.  If he didn’t like the call spike it and get a different play call.

So a play that has been over 90% successful going into the game can’t be the right call?  Get over yourself.  And again if Josh wasn’t happy with it spike it and get  another call.

You literally cannot be serious w this😂😂

 

They had a jumbo set in ffs, James cook was lined up out wide! What are you possibly going to check into there lol

Regardless of the play call.  If the sneak doesn't work...you either run up to the line and spike ball...or run another quick play.  The only thing you can't do...is call a frigging time out.

The spike the damn thing.  Go to a rollout.  If he doesn’t like the play don’t run it.

Agreed.

The only thing worse than that playcall is this thread

Because you can’t stand having your incessant McD rants challenged in any way.  Stay out of the thread then.

A successful QB sneak against, say, the Jaguars at midfield in the 2nd quarter is a lot different than the Rams goal line with under a minute to play. The 13/14 stats you keep quoting have to take the current situation under consideration. We failed earlier in the game. You just can't run there. And no QB is going to spike the ball there lol.

Lol what you are doing is way worse and you don't even realize it

 

You are saying the QB needs to save the HC and OC from themselves

 

Absolutely damning

Why not?  You don’t like the play spike it and get a different call.  A lot of folks here are saying Josh didn’t like the call.  So don’t run the play.

Nope.  Already said they shouldn’t have called the TO and have talked repeatedly about not changing things up on D.  But if Josh really didn’t like the call then either audible or spike it.  Or can’t an MVP caliber QB be trusted to do that?

How do you figure.  It was PI in end zone.  On the 1, not the 1 1/2.  And the rest of this on Allen is just people projecting.  We lost, it's

Again- the idea that there is a legitimate audible available in goalline personnel is not a football take

 

and no, there is no QB in history who is going to spike the football there. You're just going to shake your head and run the play as called

Then maybe the latter is the problem.  You don’t like the play but as a veteran QB run it anyway?   Brady said today with hindsight maybe he makes a different call.  But hindsight is 20/20.    But Josh has the option there.  He could have rolled out and thrown it away if nothing was there.  So spare me your crap about no QB in history and the rest of your histrionics.

If he did great.  Just didn’t work.

Roll out.  See if one TE leaks open.  Of if he can run it in.  Or throw it away if nothing is there.
