Yes in that situation it is. From the Eagles perspective the Jets were already in chip shot range. Just hand off a few times to take time off. Yes their qb struggled. But if they get the ball back there’s still a chance vs not getting the ball back with time and no chance.
Yeah 100% more points at THAT point of the game. There’s still plenty of time left. Eagles tried to do this in the Superbowl but Chiefs didn’t bite. Because they’re a better coached team that has situational awareness.
It’s about strategy to give your team the best odds of winning. Walk off fg with time gone is the best in that situation. Why do you think the Eagles defense just let him scored? They knew that was THEIR best chance of winning by getting the ball back quickly. Saleh was not pleased when Breece scored.
Sanchez was right. Why did you think the Eagles defense let him scored. It was their only chance of getting the ball back. They tried to do the same to the Chiefs in the Superbowl. Chiefs didn’t bite.
They weren’t a powerhouse last season either. Especially during the regular season when they lost to Indy of all people. Also Houston and Tenn (with a backup qb) took them to OT. Raiders also almost beat them (lost by 1pt). The point is this isn’t new with KC during the regular season. They do enough to secure wins and set themselves up for the playoffs. I’ve seen this movie too many times. For all their ‘struggles’ thus far they’re still leading the conference. Man they’re just a resilient team. Are they unbeatable? Hello no. But it won’t be easy…especially in the playoffs.
They went to OT last year against Houston, one of the worst teams in the league, and still ended up winning it all. They do just enough to win against inferior opponents. They’re going to be dangerous when the Bills get them.
This is what KC does in the regular season. They mess around with different trick plays. Almost like they’re experimenting. Doing just enough to win.
Yeah Denver sucks but that defense has been good all season. Held Jax to 9. Det to 14.
I was under the impression he was told to slide more to protect himself. He tends to invite contact and that’s what they want to cut down. Scrambling for yards and sliding should always be an option for Allen.
Definitely! There are opportunities in every game to scramble for yards and he should take them. Don’t do design runs. He’s not Lamar.
Mahomes does this all the time when KC can’t get their offense going. See Jets game a couple weeks ago. This is what I want to see Allen do more. Not the designed runs where he’s going to take a beating. The impromptu scrambles when defenders are busy covering receivers. It’s such a back breaking play for the defense when the qb scrambles for 20+ yards. Allen is such a better runner than Mahomes. But he doesn’t do as effectively as Mahomes for some reason. Just don’t get it.
It looked that way on TV as well. Diggs had to slow down because the ball was under thrown. He did all he could to try and catch that ball. Yet people still say Allen threw a great pass and blamed Diggs for the int. Unbelievable. Making plays like that win close tough games. Opportunities are few in tough games so they need to be capitalized.
When Allen’s bad throws get pointed out in posts like this certain fans just can’t accept it. I really don’t get it. He’s a great qb. But he makes mistakes too. It’s ok to call it out.
