Sorry your desire to dunk on Kawalimus was ill advised, saying you want your team to go for it implies you want them to run a smart playcall that isn't doomed from the start without needing to be explicitly stated

this is functionally saying "i want them to go for it, if they get it" which is the dunkable part of what he did lol

It is different at the goaline cause the play is dead but refs gonna ref so not like it matters.

Oof, this is what Kawalimus's reputation has wrought

If my team, for example, went for it on 4th and 9 and ran an inside handoff, even if I'd been cheerleading for them to go for it I'd say after that playcall they'd have been better off kicking it :shrug:

End zone fades are dumb and bad anyway

My team fakes a punt by sending everyone but two players to the sideline then snaps against 5 defenders so I would take the inside handoff.

The only new information was what the bad playcall was, and given that new information it was determined they'd have been better off kicking it. It's a criticism of the playcall, not the decision to go for it

Why is this so hard to understand

I gotta say that someone needs to coach Jackson on his body language. It's okay to be disappointed when you make a bad throw, but you need to let that go as soon as you get back in the huddle, and not still be visibly fuming over it two plays later.

I've been saying for a while now that bringing Harbaugh back for at least one more year, right now, is the correct thing to do. It is unfortunate because we may miss out on Marvin Lewis. But that is the way it has to be.

This is dumb. My agreeing with him on this one point doesn't mean I'm going to agree with every insane thing that comes out of his mouth

I have to admit though, "You can't criticize a playcall if you wanted them to run a play to begin with" is a bold gambit

he gets knockaways other players dont cause of it so its actually fine but still he should get the mythical Forcing Fumbles skill that gregggggggg williams or whoever taught





also what the gently caress is that flag

That didn't seem like he was all over him to me but maybe a replay would change that. Bad play by Jefferson, he might not have been able to get it anyway.

Maybe I’m just looking at past games with rose tinted glasses but is the reffing across the league noticeably declining? I feel like the reffing is impacting games a lot more than anyone would really consider reasonable.
