I don’t necessarily disagree, but as others pointed out, it seems like we’d go for it during the regular season against other opponents. It’s changing the way you play out of fear imo, and that’s what I don’t like. Idk
I don’t know if I’d be seething. It probably just means the Eagles would have pushed around that second string defense, and Goff would have melted down anyway.
Sirianni deserves credit at some point. I know people don’t seem to think highly of him, but a lot of coaches who haven’t won jack get much more credit.
I agree, and I find it funny how many people think Belichick would be successful anywhere, yet he’s a similar age. Some of those people must be the same who are saying Carroll is too old. Carroll seems a lot more vibrant and energetic than Belichick. I give him better odds to succeed at this point.
I don’t love the idea of going for two down one at the end of a game. The two point conversion is like a hockey penalty shot, it makes the game random. You either win or lose on one play. Take the game to overtime, and the outcome is determined by a greater amount of events. I’d feel more comfortable taking a loss in that situation.
That’s not the type of aggressiveness I want to see. That’s more like dumb Dan Campbell aggressiveness imo. I want to see them be aggressive in a way that means we keep our foot on the gas. I want to score every time we have the ball without thinking about the clock.
