Guess we disagree. Bottom line is we lost with the way we did it. So it didn't work. We will never know what would have happened had we gone for it there :- We needed momentum on offense and failed to get any in the second half. That could have been the spark. Like I said. We will never know. Tired of losing seasons. I hope we win next week.

We got the ball back...

Offense was marching down field....all the way to the Seattle 10. We had momentum. Then we fumbled.

I didnt see you post stats either smart ass

 

I know very few coaches go for it on fourth except in desperate situations, and anyone with an even halfway decent knowledge of the NFL can tell you that.

 

I also know from reading your posts that you don't know much about situational football.

Going for it on fourth and inches in your own territory when you have only a slim lead and your defense has been playing well, isn't a presence of balls, its a lack of brains.

Didn't Bill Belichick go for it on 4th and 2 in his own territory, with the lead, against Peyton Manning a few years ago. I doubt Belichick lacks any brains

Lost him the game too.  That was a stupid call also, but to be fair Manning had already hung 14 points in the 4th quarter against them

He did this often in his career in NE and I believe without looking up stats that its' been more of a success % than a failure % for his team.

Scot, I think Toolbox is some kid that just discovered Football and thinks he knows it all, it's the only thing I can figure for him.

 

Or he's thinking as the saying goes: if you ever dig a hole too deep sometimes its better to just keep digging then to admit the mistake.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
