QCity Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 5 hours ago, TheTruthHurts said: Only problem I see with calling timeout a few seconds before the 2 minute warning is you allow the offense a run pass option because no matter what the clock stops. This is correct, it was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) 9 hours ago, TheTruthHurts said: I mean I guess. So you think Belichick wanted the Eagles to attempt a pass? Yeah. The odds of scoring a TD with 1:00 left with no timeouts inside their own 20 is slim so you're in desperation mode at that point. You'd have a better chance of an INT than a forced fumble. 7 hours ago, TheTruthHurts said: Not really the same situation. Atlanta should have been conservative because they were in FG range with 3 minutes left already up 8. They chose to pass and got sacked and penalties taking them out of fg range. It's amazing to me how many coaches don't understand clock and game management. I don't know if it's a byproduct of playing the Patriots, but it seems coaches have it in their minds that they have to aggressive which can cloud their judgment.

This moved them back 10, then they got sacked taking them out of field goal range, basically gave the game to the pats. It was pure bs...

Or do you only see things one way? Just now, Cmdjr85 said: Did they also ignore the face mask on atlanta? Or do you only see things one way? And they got sacked, then the holding penalty. Not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also Ertz not falling down at the 1 yard line. His extending the ball for the TD could have cost them if ruled incomplete. with a 1st and goal, could have ran it down to around 15 seconds, then kick the potential winning field goal.

boco357 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Think they were trying to bait them into a throw there to get an INT. Pederson was smart and ran it both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the receiver was being tackled out of bounds he was pulled by his face mask , they replayed it and the announcers commented on it, on this play they were called for holding The next play he was sacked as they were trying to get back into field goal range. Go watch it again before you try and say the pats were not aided once again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
