Rodgers can't run on his knee, and they probably didn't want to even risk a fumble on a handoff.Why not negative run back for like -10 yards? Why even invoke anything else? Not quite the intentional safety but close.
That is fair. Maybe my idea, in a vacuum, for this score and time can be improved on by coming out in the Wildcat for this? That has its own risks, given your RB doesn't likely have that much experience under center, granted.Rodgers can't run on his knee, and they probably didn't want to even risk a fumble on a handoff.
Can you imagine being a Saints fan right now? You wait 8 months to remove the nasty taste of the Diggs catch out of your mouth only to watch Ryan Fitzpatrick tear your defense apart at home. I mean, I did NOT see that coming.In a day of some pretty amazing football plays, if you had Ryan Fitzpatrick as the biggest star outside of Rodgers, you need to play the lottery ASAP.

Jameis had better deliver when he gets back.Nobody did.
And while Jets fans will be happy regardless of how their game turns out Monday (barring a season ending injury), they have to be frustrated watching that unfold. To be fair, as Mauf pointed out upthread, this is the first time in Fitzpatrick's career that he has had more than one or two good weapons.

Yeah, he is swearing all the way to the bank.I wonder if Mack is like "Fuck. I'm tied to the Bears for the prime of my career. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck."
Why is Mitch looking so fucking deep on every play? Just take your 5 and 10 yard patterns and go down the field. They'd had 2 minutes and 2 timeouts, and they treated that like they got the ball with 45 seconds and no timeouts left.
Looked to me like a team that had a good script for the early game, was surprised to find itself so far ahead and then wasn't sure what to do after that. Tucked into coast mode too soon and then had one drive to pull out of it. But there's a good framework there with the 2 backs and the makings of a good receiving group. Burton and Robinson flashed early but after that Mitch was basically getting it to whoever he could find after the play broke down.I dunno.
Bears have a good, maybe great D, and Trubisky might LEARN the more he plays. Bears have bright not-so-distant future.
If only there was a way for a coach to whisper in his ear: "Hey, slow down. Lots of time still. Just take 5 yards at a time. We've got two timeouts and the two minute warning, and only need a FG."This. The whole last drive was there for them if Trubisky just realized how much time he had. Just take 5 yards at a time. They had two timeouts and the two minute warning, and only needed a FG.
I dunno, the offense was pretty bad. Trubisky averaged 5-something yards per attempt, was sacked on more than 10% of his drop backs, and fumbled twice. 7 of their 23 points was Mack's INT return. They had 10 drives, half of which were three-and-outs (one technically a four-and-out) and their final drive only wasn't a three-and-out because of roughing the passer. They had 146 yards of offense on their first two drives and 148 on their final eight.My reaction was that I like what Nagy has done and I think with experience this Bears team is going to be very good. I am not looking forward to facing their offense. I was never a big Trubisky fan but he looked much better then he did last year (to no one's surprise). They got Rodgered but I get the feeling the Bears won't be giving the Patriots a pick in the 30's.
Or thanks and praise Victor Kiam is no longer the owner. Given the chance, he might've kicked the tires on Jackson - and it'd probably be one of his better hires.Remember to give thanks and praise to BB every day .
He's so awesome.
The gift that keeps on giving since 1969.HEHEHEH
That was perfect
Don’t throw across your body, don’t throw that diagonally across the field while throwing across your body.Darnold did everything wrong on that play; he looked like a HS kid thrown into an NFL game.
They ran a pregame promotion and whoever was sitting in section 320, row A, seats 9 and 10 were the lucky winners for "Broadcast an NFL game for a night"...………….What is this broadcast team?
