Yeah, but our defense didn’t stop the last drive did they? Our defense is our best unit, but let’s be realistic, they tend to get a little conservative late and let offenses move on us.
I dont actually feel real strongly either way on how they called it late against Maryland. I really do see both sides. But anyone thinking a FG guaranteed a win isn’t thinking realistically. If we don’t get to the QB, our DB’s are getting beat. And we stop getting to the QB late.
2 players didn’t execute on the pick. Purdy threw a bad ball and Coleman didn’t get the hell out of the area and take his defender with him. Who knows, if one of them does it right, maybe it’s a different outcome. I think Satterfield is bad, and I don’t think it was the correct call for the situation (touch pass with a raw QB), but as some point your players have to do things as well. Like #33 last night, late in first half. Comes clean on the blitz but so out of control coming in he completely whiffs on the QB sack. Instead of a 10-12 yard loss and a likely eventual punt, they turn the play positive, move down the field and score.
Players have to make plays once in a while.
