I agree you go for the kill, 3 of CMCs ten carries were right there into a 10 man front.... But it doesn't excuse the bullshit calls.

Not making excuses.. But after another fumbled snap.. Going for the kill was a bad idea. If your defense is supposed to stop them and should have..

Agreed. It sucks that there were blown calls but poo happens. Still think we should have gone for the TD and not left the game up to the refs… but hey, that’s just me.

I agree. And watching Ike get wrecked constantly, and still choosing to drop back baker in the first half. There are lots of reasons that lead to this ending.

Abandoning the Run game when you have the caliber player that CMC is just laughable. IMO, that's why our passing lanes opened up in the 4th. We finally started giving him the ball and it Got DJ and Robbie loose. Rhule is an issue man. Far more than a referees missed call.

Of course it matters but it's one small factor in a larger picture.

Small factor?

It decided the game, at the end of the game with time expiring.

We had the lead.  Everything that was done up to that point accumulated to us have the lead with 30 seconds to go.  We made mistakes.  They made mistakes.  Those resulted in us HAVING THE LEAD.

THEN refs gave them 15 yards and ignored the rules on spiking.

If you're going to just casually remove the rest of my post addressing our very familiar ineptitude in the first half which directly contributed to us having to rely on sitting on a tiny lead at home then you are beyond help.

You trust that defense? No excuses the game plan and coaching were absolutely horrid Elflein can't snap the dang ball, it's almost like Rhules clown show of a oline competition denied them continuity.

10 second run off and no stoppage of the clock. The browns would have had 3 seconds to line up for a kick.

Ehhh winning on a technicality is pointless. They were the better team today.

Those calls were killers

I don’t think they understand, we could have had a bigger lead without the bs mistakes and miscues from earlier in the game.

There's a difference between did the SCREW US or did they mess up a call. Yes, they messed up a call, maybe two.

But there are actually people on this board that truly think the refs and league are out to get us and screw us on purpose lol.

Not only that but we signed a bruiser RB for a reason no? Why didn’t we try to give the Browns a taste of their own medicine?

Not a bad idea if you don’t telegraph what you are doing by having Baker under center. While Elflein did have one bad snap when Baker was in shotgun, most of his snaps were much better when Baker was in shotgun rather than under center.

Not to mention, the ball has to be snapped regardless of if it’s a run or pass. Elflein still had to snap the ball two more times when they ran McCaffrey right up Elflein’s backside.

Giants and their new coach just knocked off a playoff team for a comeback win and Saquon Barkley had 164 yards with 9.1 YPA while Jones had a 115 passer rating. Their defense is tough too. If Joe Judge stuck his foot up Rhule's ass last season Daboll is going to be tough that game could get pretty ugly.
