lordstanley Posted January 19 Posted January 19 There was no reason to be in the gun with an emoty backfield on 3rd and short. 1 Quote
Mr.TaterSalad Posted January 19 Posted January 19 What kind of play call was that ****? You're running the ball so good, why pass on 3&1? Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 3rd and 1, why are you not handing the ball off. Why would even consider going empty set. Ben is over thinking some of these situations. I mean come on. Hand the damn ball off and get the first down. That simply can’t happen. 1 Quote

Jason_R Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Not thrilled with splitting out Montgomery on 3rd and 1. Quote
Nate7474 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Remember they are still on script cause they haven't played a ton of snaps so far. Also I believe the decision was already made to go for it on 4th down so i believe they were going for a chunk play. Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Hate to say it, but Monty coming back is harming the offense. When he has been out there it has not gone well. Just not the time to force him in. It’s 3rd and 1, that has to be a handoff. Quote

And it was 3 and 1 from the what 30? chunk plays arent a thing Quote

TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Infinite commercials. There was no reason for the full tv timeout after the turnover. Quote

It ends up working out alot of the time but still feel like it is a needless risk when you have a running game like the Lions have. Quote

Your trying to get a read on the defense verse different shifts and alignments so that you can dictate what you want to do afterward. Not saying that was case but its what it looked like to be based on the weird formation. Quote
number20 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 DL isn't tackling anyone tonight. Washington's running plays are all sneaking through to the 2nd level. This team really misses McNeil Quote
TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 You can’t be leaving people so wide open. Daniels has all day and no one covered brown. Quote

TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Play call expired and they didn’t call It. They never call it. Quote

TP_Fan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Here comes the refs. That is a horrible call. Im still just gov smacked that we didn’t run it on 3rd and 1. It changed everything about this game. Quote
