Frustrating play call

I wonder if Funchess was supposed to drag across with a little less depth, carrying the underneath coverage with him. Doubt it would’ve worked anyway, but maybe that was the plan? 

If anything I would think KB should have gone a bit deeper into the corner. Funchess basically toed the goal line and it was 3rd and goal so that's pretty good awareness, similar to running routes to the sticks.

It was just a bad play call, that's a play call for when you have more space, doing it in the end zone clogs it all up.

Also the 55 yard field goal doesn’t bother me at all.

It was poorly executed and rushed...that’s frustrating...not going for points.

There was maybe a 1 in 10 chance that Gano hits that field goal.  Probably not even that.  We had a better shot at making the first down than we did of Gano making that field goal.  Actually, there was a better chance of it being blocked than making it.  We gave them the ball at the 40 or so, and they scored of course.

pretty standard route combo no?

yeah its a hi lo with a fade and quick slant option. also with CMC square dancing with a defender in the end zone and trying to charge up his "presence"

problem isn't the call, problem is the defense pretty obviously knew it was coming.

Another plausible explanation, and yes, bad play call.

I think it was a good play call.  KB was wide open for 2 seconds but the ball did not arrived.

The kneel on the kick return has been largely overblown on this board.

We were set up to recover an onsides kick. 

So that automatically means the kick returner has to take a knee with no defender within 15 yards of him?

You can take it up with Samuel, right?

I thought Cam had a great opportunity to scramble and walk into the endzone on the right side of this play.

I was more frustrated by the blatant missed holding call on the Lions TD when they started their comeback. The back judge was literally staring at the lineman hold Addison and Mario was losing his mind over it. 

Was it Mario?  Because I thought I saw a Detroit lineman with hands full of CJ's jersey?

Doesn't matter though... they were holding like MF'ers on that play.

I know this frustrated you yesterday. 

 

 

Two players drawing 3 defenders to the same spot of the end zone. Middle of the field absolutely empty. 

 

Awful. 

any chance someone ran the wrong route? Specifically Fun Fun?  Play makes sense if Fun Fun flips his route

Gano hadn’t missed a FG up until that point.

In a dome, he has a good shot of making that kick.

I know it’s vogue to hate on Gano, but’s he been pretty lights out so far. 

Nothing wrong with that decision, it’s why you pay your kicker.

Yes and he was furious

Irrelevant, still could have gotten 5 more yards.  Served absolutely no point whatsoever.  As we went backwards, came close to costing us a safety. At least the throw in theory could have gotten something.  

Take it up with the returner

Unless either of you can provide proof that our coaching staff told Samuel to take a knee, then your fits of rage aren’t warranted.
