third down flags that gift a first are equivalent to a turnover for the team getting flagged. We know how huge even +1 can be in overall outcomes

when in doubt on a third down in a playoff game and it CERTAINLY wasn’t forceful…. Leave the flag in your pocket for “it might’ve bumped but wasn’t clear”

if he has called the right game management moves - time outs, 4th downs, etc… and the team is motivated… I really don’t care if it’s a slog or a shootout personally

Seems like the OP may be a bot, guys.

he still has to prove he has a full playbook and such as the mid point. i would want a very vet offensive assistant in there still if he’s going to be OC under a guy like Flores

Meh. after 1 year as qb coach with the panthers debacle, and 1 year as qb coach in Minnesota I’m not sure you turn McCown loose as an OC under a defensive head coach yet. Grigson wasn’t great last go around. and Flores is a dicey pick on his own. Sounds like I’m all for it!

could play DT for the eagles, man

Nah that has to be Josh’s biggest contribution this week.

i often advocate staying put for elite talent but in that draft you have to think watt-Quinn-cam Jordan-Kerrigan-liuget would’ve all profiled very well with this regime. Feels like a trade back year with the willingness to land several guys depending on who was around in if you could fall to the teens.

and if you didn’t need a qb what a crazy first round that was… cut out the qbs and just very few busts. and of the 13 DT/DE/edge in the first, Corey liuget, nick fairley and Adrian clayborn are the only non pro bowlers?

super gritty and not sure there’s anyone that throws more “handoffs” 30 yards down field. Just plants them in guys chests.

always been one of those guys that’s gifted above and beyond what he’s given credit for. he can be a lot of fun to watch when he’s in rhythm.

he is fitz, but less charming or self aware

meh. It’s like judging someone starting tyrod you can win some games but it usually catches up to you in the big moments.

no they said the opposite you can pick up a grounding flag, but you can’t award it.

That wasn’t the consideration at all the issue is grounding isn’t a reviewable penalty so they couldn’t go back and throw the flag after it was swapped from fumble to pass

but they let it play out as a fumble and you can’t award a grounding penalty via replay so the options were fumble/td, incomplete pass or sack

you can’t via replay

obviously but if dissecting the WR crew did we have guys limping around in 13 seconds? it feels like Josh is in about the best shape he’s been in this late in the season

I think the biggest thing is health right now, honestly.

we did put our WR2 back there, which is a risky move but did help.

the one defense there is he isn’t the guy back there regularly. To some degree, especially in this game, you tell him to keep it real simple back there. If the guy playing the position regularly can’t handle it - totally different but with a fill in I’m pretty ok with him being reigned in completely I think our expectations are pretty low. If it’s plus, it’s barely. they gave up a possession. That’s massive in playoff football. Most of the rest was just executing pretty normal expectations.

I’m happy we won im not declaring the turning of a corner. We beat up a team we are considerably better than. I encourage you to get used to the standards of the elite - it’s still a fun place to sit.

we will see. All week I stressed rookie qb in the road with limited weapons against the mvp. if not for KC sitting guys, Denver would’ve been like the 8/9 seed on the strength of their defense. im not all in on the hype of the momentum from beating KC

you have to hype up the matchup. It’s not personal. It’s manufactured drama.
