He’s right though. Calling the timeout would have taken away the guarantee at 2 more plays*. I mean we are all assuming that Caleb wouldn’t take a sack on 3rd down after running around for all 20-ish seconds. That’s no more stupid or improbable than snapping the ball with 6 seconds left and then throwing a deep ball to burn all the clock. * they didn’t get 2 plays simply because of mass ineptitude. Eberfleptitude?

I’m not excusing the stupidity of it all. Just trying to understand what the hell I just saw. I don’t think anyone should let Caleb off the hook for a huge mistake. He had the guy with a step so if he delivered that pass on target it would have been a big time highlight. It was just stupid.

To clear out. Kmet ran a short out at the top of the screen. I never saw who was in the middle from the bottom of the screen.

It was 3rd and 24. They weren’t getting another first down. The idea is to get 10 yards or so to get back into range and then call timeout. Worst case you get an incompletion and use the last second or 2 for the Hail Mary. The Bears knew they had 2 more plays*. So the second is either a FG attempt or a Hail Mary. They don’t want to leave Detroit 20 seconds for a final possession after the assumed made FG. * they only got one play because Caleb decided to take away the FG option by going for the win.

I think they were as surprised as everyone else that Caleb made such a moronic decision. Who here would have ever guessed that sequence was going to happen? It’s inexplicable.

The idea is to not leave Detroit any time, so you want to bleed the clock. You don’t want to sit in the pocket and take a shot downfield.

If Caleb completes something short over the middle they call timeout and still kick.

Interestingly, they call that silly crap on the outside but not the right tackle holding and moving early that actually effect the play.

I think this one is on Caleb.

I wonder if the staff wanted him to run the clock down to around 10 seconds, get a 10 yard completion, call timeout, and make the FG attempt. Williams dropped back, held the ball in the pocket, and then took a shot downfield.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable. I am dying.

Ok, now this game is BS. Tackle moving too early not called but phantom PI is called.

I wish I understood the Lions need to choke on Thanksgiving. There must be some sort of childhood trauma at play here.

This game already feels like a loss, no matter the final score.

The QB situation makes sense there.

I don’t know that I’ve ever been more wrong about a thing in my life than I was about Dan Campbell. He doesn’t just make motivational speeches. He actually means the things he says, believes them, and lives them every day. The good ones and the bad ones. It’s absolutely incredible.

IT'S HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE HOW STRAIGHT A SHOOTER DAN CAMPBELL IS, GIVEN ALL THE CAFFEINE IN HIS SYSTEM

Eagles claim Charles Harris off of waivers

PFT says he could sign to a practice squad and then be able to sign with a team that has an injury from there.

This is why I think it’s stupid to put a star as a punt returner.

Impressive

That makes more sense. And is also a wild rule.

This is a bananas rule.

I’d be OK not having a gadget QB taking reps from the guy who can actually read a defense. If he wanted to try to be Gibbs or a slot guy then OK.
