That last drive...


Recommended Posts


 

I could t watch the game. Someone care to fill me in on what stupid thing he did this time?

 

Nothing in particular...we lost and the fans are looking to point the finger...

That's exactly it. Last week they tried to get fancy instead of playing field position and this week they tried playing safe and playing field position. At some point you have to learn how to make stops if you're going to win close games.

We lost the last game because we passed it on the last drive and people bitched. So today they ran it three times on the last drive and people still bitched.

You're right. Those two games were exactly the same situation. Exactly.
No, but we wanted them to burn their timeouts. If we tried passing on third down and don't get it, people would still bitch. They were in a lose-lose situation no matter what they did if they didn't get a first down.

Yes.

 

But passing the ball and running the ball into the middle of the line were not the only two options available.

 

Not to mention the HUGE difference between running the clock down to 11 seconds vs. them still having a minute and a half to do something.

No, you simply don't seem to have a clue about situational football. And apparently neither does our coaching staff.

Langsdorf, not sure what the F#$@ he was thinking. Sure, running the ball is the good part, less risk of a turnover. I don't have a problem with the option to run it. My issue, is how we didn't attack the edges, where we had most damage, outside of Jano's 50+ yard run. Hit the edge, misdirection QB keeper... SOMETHING other than JUST up the middle 3 times. I could understand if you spread out wide and spread out the defense.

 

My positive spin on this game, we lose in a last second field goal, to a team that I thought would have us by two scores. We play WAY to soft when it comes to opponent's final drives.
