and gave up 397 years passing.. 109 yards more than the Pats did.Seattle players pretty jacked about barely surviving a game they should have won going away
Yep.Just lost up front on that play. Oh well. Loved the competitiveness and fight of the team.
On the 2 point conversion they had WRs in the game and spread out. They didn't have the power unit in. The power unit got the first down and then the TD, and then they changed personnel for the 2 pt conversion.Except on the 2-point conversion not long before. Twice on the goal line, Seattle stopped Cam on that play.
Yup.They could've rolled over at 35-23 and no one would have batted an eye. They ended up 2 yards away from the win. Couldn't care less about the result, this game showed me a lot.
That would have been a sensational catch. Falling backwards, leaping, a defender all over him, and that throw was zipped in there.Edelman needs to make the catch in the end zone.
No way of knowing that.Bad clock management. Should have used that time out. Would have had an extra two plays.
If they use the time out, the catch by the goalline basically ends the game. They may not be able to get up in time to spike it.Bad clock management. Should have used that time out. Would have had an extra two plays.
Totally different play call. No one had stopped the power run yet this year until that play, plus they'd already shown that they're willing to play action out of itExcept on the 2-point conversion not long before. Twice on the goal line, Seattle stopped Cam on that play.
Yeah, I would at least have liked a play with an option built into it.Cam step take and flip to TE here
If we’re what if’ing, I’d like to see if Harry could’ve made the end zone on his catch if he didn’t go down with contact. But, on that catch in particular, it looked like it was a solid tackle.That would have been a sensational catch. Falling backwards, leaping, a defender all over him, and that throw was zipped in there.
No way, they played it right. Got two plays from inside the 10 to win and ended up with a play from the 2 and the clock stopped. How can anyone complain about that?No way of knowing that.
AGreedMaybe the least upset I have been about a Pats loss in 15+ years. Sea is a very good team (top 3 NFC).
Cam looked awesome honestly. Seems like they gotta let him throw a bit more.
The D (the supposed strength) was a weak point, giving up 35 and the Pats score 30 and lose.
Tip the cap to Russ and their O.
Yep. You can maybe make a case for spiking the ball but it was definitely right to not use the TO there.If they use the time out, the catch by the goalline basically ends the game. They may not be able to get up in time to spike it.
You keep the TO because it opens up the playbook. If you have no TOs and 20s, then you're basically throwing into the end zone. With the time out the defense has to defend the whole field and risk catch and runs into the end zone.
Again, they did not stop it on the 2 pt try. They stopped a Cam run with Edelman and other WRs on the field. They had not stopped the power package which threatens a run in different directions or the play action that got them the prior TD.I thought before the play when I saw Edelman on the sidelines it was a mistake going with the jumbo package. The play is too one dimensional, Seattle has already stopped it on the two point try, and the one wrinkle (flipping it to the fullback) he already been used. Would have liked a bootleg with some receivers in the end zone while also giving Cam the option to run it.
Oh well, a good game and lots to build on. He got a lot of shit but Harry made big catches all night.
Exactly...and let's be honest here ..in a game thread like this, my response was laughable ...to actually speculate on the play call ...it is just silly..sillyThat game is an L on the schedule even with
You should send your resume to the Pats.
Im sure we’ll see more wrinkles out of that look as teams key in. The FB rollout was good. Gotta get some TE involvement there too.Except on the 2-point conversion not long before. Twice on the goal line, Seattle stopped Cam on that play.
We have been lamenting odd Josh's sometimes odd plays calls for 15 years ( minus a few Broncos years). End of the day he got us to within 2 yards of a win.Tough loss. Josh called some real head-scratchers. He may have a tumor.
I mean, they also "knew" Cam was taking the ball when they play actioned out of it the last time they saw itWilson saying they knew Cam was taking the ball. They were on the two yard line. I get that Cam isn’t fast, but we’ve seen him rolling out looking for a receiver at that distance and running it in if there wasn’t a target. Seattle had that play covered.
Ya ,if he made every throw in the end zone .... can't complain about having one shot from the 2Bad clock management. Should have used that time out. Would have had an extra two plays.
Says more about you than him given that the greatest coach in football history has used him as a key offensive coach for the greatest sustained run of high level offensive play in NFL history.Never been a McDaniels fan. And probably never will be.
He basically Malcolm Mitchell’s that last drive. Nice to see real contributions. Too bad he could quite get in on last catch.Yeah you wish Harry could break more tackles but he did well on that last drive
Cam put it behind him a bit. Better throw probably gets it done.That would have been a sensational catch. Falling backwards, leaping, a defender all over him, and that throw was zipped in there.
All true. That last play call was absolute shit.Says more about you than him given that the greatest coach in football history has used him as a key offensive coach for the greatest sustained run of high level offensive play in NFL history.
they had 30 points and what, 400 yards passing with that offensive talent?
play calls always look bad when your line gets blown up
