Why did we run the ball?

[CarolinaNut]

Please give Gano Norv Turners paycheck this week for that last play call..what a loser

[Mol3m4n]

The thing that is worse than the run is the timeout used just before it.

i understand you want to get the 1st down, but you have to realize the circumstances. 30 sec, no timeouts. wasted 20 sec on that play.

completely inexcusable

I'm just baffled with their entire game plan today. Giants played hard on defense but we didn't even pass in the 3rd. Bet your ass everyone is going to be testing our wide outs from here on out.

People here don't understand that. Pregame warm ups... Kicker goes out and sees what he's comfortable with and feom what hash mark. Reports that info to the coaches, and that's what they have their 3rd down plays off of if they're already in fg range 

You don't ever setup for a 63 yard fuging FG. Gano nailed it like a boss, but that's a very low percentage kick.

Honestly, I wasn't convinced we actually got the first down. I thought they were going to review the spot. I thought Cam spiked it on 4th and we lost the game at first. 

We got lucky as fug today. Gano is the hero

[FakePlasticTrees]

Stupid call! Fortunately, it worked out..... luckily.

Turner was awful all day

We were worried about not getting the 1st? Idk. It was idoitic either way.

Agree, but I can assure you he gave a preference on what hash if he had to attempt something long like that

Oh, I'm sure he did. But with 25 seconds to go you should absolutely be trying to get closer than 63 yards out. That draw was a horrific play call that eliminated our opportunity to do that. Gano bailed us out, but damn... you certainly don't want to put yourself in the situation of needing to hit a 63 yard FG to escape with a W at home vs. a 1-3 team and that's exactly what we did with that play call.

[FugAllY'all]

Honestly, I have no idea. We need some kind of intervention for our 2 minute offense. There's no hurry up at all, hell it almost looks like we move slower.

Figured they might catch the defense by surprise and pop a long one. If it works everyone is praising Ron and Norv for calling a run play

But if we don't get the first down, we lose.  On 2nd down, maybe, not third.

[KillerKat]

Cause Ron Rivera is a moron
