2019 NFL Playoff Game Thread - WC Round

[Salem's Lot]

The 40% of the crowd still in their seats are going wild.

Romo is dumb. Kick it deep. 1 first down ends it no matter where you are on the field. Chance of conversion is what, 5 percent? Don’t give away 30 yards.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I don’t think you try the onside kick since it’s not absolutely necessary and so low percentage.

 

[loshjott]

Chargers need one first down to end it.

 

[RedOctober3829]

The Tucker missed FG is huge

 

[DJnVa]

Does Tony not realize this Ravens offense will need to yards they gain by kicking it deep? That's huge.

 

[mr_smith02]

Tucker wide right earlier...looming

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

One first down ends it if you kick it deep or onside.

Might as well onside.

 

[rymflaherty]

With this D, you have to kick it deep right?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

a little early to relax on defense isn't it? some terrible plays by Chargers on that drive.

....

 

[mauf]

This is a situation where the rule change alters strategy. I’d kick deep, but I’d feel differently if I had a 20% chance to recover.

 

[Norm Siebern]

Flacco looks like he is not even on the same team as Jackson.

 

[DJnVa]

Is the 4% chance worth the 30+ yards here? I say no.

 

[soxin6]

Romo sucks almost as bad as his former teammate in the booth.

 

[Cellar-Door]

watching that ridiculous jackson completion, James went for the highlight pick with that angle instead of just going to the man. he goes to Dixon and it's going to be a pass breakup

 

[DJnVa]

Play action, go deep. Have some balls.

 

[RedOctober3829]

WR screen?? Tony..

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Play action, go deep. Have some balls.

Flacco time

 

[ifmanis5]

Is the 4% chance worth the 30+ yards here? I say no.

Agreed, the rule change has totally changed the equation.

 

[Dollar]

2 TO they can/should kick deep.

Yeah, for some reason I thought they had already burned two TOs.

 

[mostman]

I’m sort of expecting a turnover here.

 

[RedOctober3829]

The question has to be: Why didn't Harbaugh open the offense up earlier???

 

[Al Zarilla]

Turned out good game, huh?

 

[Van Everyman]

Meh, it’s a busted play, the ball is coming from a gazillion yards away across the field, and the angle was tough to read. It was mostly just lucky it went over his head.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Chargers are going to face the age old question of going for the first down with a pass, or kicking it back to them and hoping the defense holds.

 

[Salem's Lot]

I’m sort of expecting a turnover here.

Really. Almost too predictable given it’s the Chargers.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

Do the Chargers have the balls to pass on 3rd down?

 

[Ed Hillel]

The question has to be: Why didn't Harbaugh open the offense up earlier???

San Diego got soft, too.

 

[Red Averages]

Such a bad offense. You play for the first down. Only.

 

[DJnVa]

Pats would throw a wheel route to White here.

 

[shawnrbu]

Cyrus Jones PR-TD for the win.

 

[mauf]

Romo was right. If you had a safe pass play you liked, 2nd down was the place to call it.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I’d throw here.

First down seals it, incompletion is worth like 38-40 seconds

 

[ShaneTrot]

Run it again.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Tucker miss is big, but honestly bigger is Harbaugh choking and taking the FG there, by far the best team in the league in short yardage, and you tkae the coward's way out.

 

[luckiestman]

They already had a punt blocked. They should try to win

 

[Ed Hillel]

Screamer stuck around, unfortunatelyZ

 

[RedOctober3829]

Oh man holding!!

 

[Salem's Lot]

Holding

 

[Blue Monkey]

Bailout

 

[The Mort Report]

hold

 

[DJnVa]

LOL.

 

[mostman]

Chop block?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Refball

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Hooooold

 

[Investor 11]

blatant hold that was completely unnecessary

 

[patinorange]

Oh boy.

 

[The Mort Report]

Refball

no way that was blatant

 

[mauf]

My son called the hold even before the flag came out, so I guess obvious hold is obvious.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

That better be a blatant hold
