Oh, he goes for it on 4th down in his own territory up and with lots of the remaining when his D is dominating.....please share some of the many examples of such

 

 

4th and 2 no he doesn't...4th and one chain link he does. The thing that pisses me off is that this team has no attitude on the offensive side of the ball. When I watch a team like San Francisco it is clear that they have a certain swag and attitude about themselves. Watching the 49ers you believe that if they really wanted to they could go for it on 4th and 1 every time and be successful. They are an aggressive football team. We are exactly the opposite.

 

Let me ask you this? What is the problem with going for it on 4th and inches with lots of time remaining when the D is dominating???

We had 4th and inches on our own 34 yard line.  it is the difference of giving up a guaranteed 3 points at least if you don't make it even if they don't move the ball and just giving them the lead, as opposed to actually having to put together a drive to take the lead.

You guys sure like defending a gutless coach who takes almost no chances.. He doesn't even trust cam to get 2 inches for a first down.. fug that noise.

it's just that some of us have been watching football since you were in diapers and know better then going for it on the wrong side of the 50, heck if we had been on the Hawks 35 then you have an argument, not on ours, it's just dumb.

I and many on here don't see it that way.. to me not going for it on 4th and inches when you have one of the best centers in football and a pretty big QB just screams I give up lets punt it away even though we have very very good odds of making it.. come on man.

What a successful strategy it's been!

Nothing in football is guaranteed. Even if they don't move the ball from the 34 yard line its still a 50 yard field goal and those aren't 100% guaranteed. You play to win the game. As CRA said the D was dominating the game. I have a hard time believing that a quick snap to Cam QB sneak wouldn't have gotten the inch we needed for a first down to keep the drive going. That would have been a huge momentum boost. We had a hard time finding a rythm on offense. That was the perfect chance for Rivera to challange his players to execute and keep the drive alive. It would have been a huge momentum swing if we get it

If the D was dominating the game why would you give a team the ball in scoring position with a 1 point lead?

 

Wouldn't you want them to try to put together a drive against that D that is dominating?

 

It would have been the dumbest call in the history of coaching (maybe an exaggeration).  If we got it, maybe no one cares.  but if we get stuffed, they kick a field goal and we lose by 2 despite our defense dominating the same people would be in here bitching about going for it, or more likely would try to blame it on the playcall and not the fact we would have made a dumbass decision

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By strato · Posted

      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.
