eSJayDee Posted December 10 Posted December 10 (edited) 29 minutes ago, Casey D said: 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. Edited December 10 by eSJayDee Wanted to add more Quote

GoBills808 Posted December 10 Posted December 10 Just now, oldmanfan said: 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 1 2 Quote
oldmanfan Posted December 10 Author Posted December 10 3 minutes ago, strive_for_five_guy said: 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. 1 minute ago, GoBills808 said: 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 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. Quote

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 1 Quote
Dafan Posted December 10 Posted December 10 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. 1 Quote

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. Quote

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? Quote

On the 1, not the 1 1/2. And the rest of this on Allen is just people projecting. We lost, it's Quote

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. Just now, strive_for_five_guy said: Maybe Josh liked the call too then If he did great. Just didn’t work. Quote
