Mark Jones gets us a solid return to the 36 yard line. 45 seconds left on the clock, two timeouts left. We need about 25 yards to give Kasey a shot at it, maybe 30-35 to be in his "range".

We run one play up the middle then head to the locker room in a one possession game. Thoughts?

***edit - opps...didnt realize this was allready being discussed in another thread.

we played not to lose by pretending an 8 point lead is an automatic win.

My thoughts exactly. And this is exactly my buddies mentality as well. Needless to say we lost, and he got COMPLETELY shut down by everybody in the room. "But we're winning" doesn't really work if at the end of the game, you've lost...just sayin.

Scenario:

Announcer:"Jake drops back looks to his left; their's nothing there

Jake heaves it up to Smith! It's intercepted by Webster! Only one man in front of him!

He makes him miss Giants TD! "

Madden: "Wow, what a stupid play"

Huddlers: "WTF WE GONE LOOZED DA GAME; FIRE FOXZ FTW"

:Rolls eyes:

Yeah I see what you're saying but I'd rather have been up by eight than that scenario happen.

We weren't scared throwing the ball on any other drive, what exactly makes the situation so different by have only 45 seconds left? It's a still a drive, and I wish the coaching staff would have recognized it as such.

Kneeling to go in to the half, that close to fg range, and with that many timeouts is one of the stupid habits of the NFL like squib-kicking towards the end of the game, so the opposing team won't have a big return.

IDK man; our D just isn't what it used to be...had they been the D that I could trust series after series from earlier this season we'd win this game easily...but to face the facts we aren't IMO...I still believe and all but we'll be a good team until our D is back to what it was earlier this season then we'll be GREAT.

28 points should be more than enough to win any football game. I blame our defense for falling apart, but I think some blame should go to our offense too for thinking they could rely on a defense who has let everybody down these past few weeks.

D@@@@@@@@@@@MMMMMMMMNNNNNNN I feel like we just lost a playoff game!!!:mad::mad::mad:

I mean crap; but when our D finally starts coming up big and gets a 3 and out...the offense goes three and out in OT... WTF!

If everyone knew the up the middle and hit the locker room was coming,all the more reason to take a shot or two down the field. Even if you don't score a td or even a FG it sends a message. To the Giants but also your team to keep the foot on the pedal.

And take a guess why the Giants scored a td instead of a FG to win?

THE SPREAD was -3. LOL

counterfactual speculation....

this wouldnt even be up for discussion if we would have won.

I am more thrown off by the terrible play calling when they pinned us inside the 1. we run-run-run-punt -- way too safe and predictable. with the pressure and situation that would have been the perfect time for a flea flicker cause they were selling out on the run big time.

I think it would. I actually called a friend at halftime and was bitching about this...

Problem with the flea flicker is when your that deep, you cant call a play that takes that long to develop, you dont have time.

As far as the triple run at the goal line, we didnt get enough breathing room for Baker on 1st or 2nd down to every attempt a pass. If anyone noticed we split out Smith on this series and they had a CB on him and a Saftey over the top. We basically had 10-on-9 in the box and couldnt run there (about the only time all night), which was kind of disapointing.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
