2022 NFL and NCAA Football offseason

[Emperoreddy]

Holy shit, talk about gutless

Judge's reasoning was he didn't want to repeat last week with a safety and he "trusted his D"

You could have the fullback dive and he would have gotten more yards. Just take a knee if you are going to be that gutless

I am sure he f***ing does. Abrams won't fire him.

The answer was f***ing 0

Where's Herm Edwards when you need him? You play to win the game.

This also makes no sense cause the Giants were on the four-yard line with the second sneak today while they were on the four-inch line on the play with the Bears last week. There's not much danger of getting tackled for a safety on a straight handoff to Barkley or Booker from the four-yard line.

Meanwhile Brandon Staley is like the anti Joe Judge, mother of god...enough with the fourth downs in your own territory already.

Vrabel has been decent so far in Tennessee but that's about it.

my son and I had discussed this. We think Vrabel as a player under BB as opposed to just a coach plays into it. He’s seen the worst side of that coaching approach and can modify it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Can the NFL at least give me tie shenanigans tonight after suffering a full season of Joe Judge?

 

[NjDevsRR]

one of the best regular season games in NFL history with one of the best final regulation drives of all time. OH MY

Vrabel never coached directly under BB, he just played for him. He was an assistant of Urban Meyer and was defensive coordinator for the Texans under Bill O’Brien.

Someone needs to explain to me how that last timeout made ANY sense at all

Brutal. I figured the Raiders were content with running it on 3rd down and letting the clock run out since they weren’t scrambling or called a TO themselves.

Joe Judge, that you?

 

[Emperoreddy]

Why can't we have nice things? Not getting that tie is more disgraceful then Jack's wide turns

3rd and 4 on Chargers' 39. Raiders about to line up in shotgun formation, Chargers call timeout (with about 8 seconds left on the play clock) knowing that they need a stop and presumably make an adjustment / didn't like the personnel that they had out there. As much as the broadcast was saying that the Raiders could kneel and take the tie, them running a play to try to set up a FG was the more likely route. After the timeout, the Raiders lined up under center and ran the ball. The Chargers had the worst run defense in the league and gave up a 3rd and 23 earlier in the game.

I think the Twitterverse is taking some out of context comments from Derek Carr's postgame interview about the Raiders changing strategy after the timeout (they ran a play from a different formation) while ignoring how Carr subsequently said they weren't playing for a tie.

Chargers needed to force a 4th down in which case it would have been an interesting decision for the Raiders. If you don't call a timeout, Raiders could still convert and it would have been the same difference.

I just wonder if the tie scenario wasn't there if the Chargers would have gone for two at the end of regulation.

As soon as they showed Dean Spanos on the broadcast, I couldn't help but not feel bad if the Raiders won.

 

[Brodeur]

Good breakdown here, Raiders had 3 WR-1 TE-1RB and Chargers had 4-2-5 pre-timeout. Post-timeout they subbed out a LB for another DB even though Raiders had same personnel grouping. So if you want to call out Staley on anything, I think it's fair to question why on Earth he thought the Raiders would run a passing play.

Edit: Looks like they switched to 3-3-5 but took out an ILB who had been playing poorly. Acho surmises that an ILB would have been more likely to stuff that play.

Edit #2: Staley said they figured the Raiders were running and the Chargers switched to what they felt was their 'best' personnel package for the situation. Just turns out that the Chargers terrible run defense continued to be terrible. After letting Houston run all over them a couple weeks ago, they didn't deserve to make the playoffs.

Flores fired in Miami

What the hell are the Dolphins thinking with Flores?

And I'll ask the same question of the Giants if they actually keep Joe Judge. If I were them, I'd go after Flores in a heartbeat now that he's available.

Essentially he didn’t kiss ass enough lol

 

[Better Call Sal]

The Giants should be all over him. He's the guy that Judge is pretending to be

 

[Devilsfan992]

Flores fired in Miami

Wow. They were 8-1 in their last 9 games. 8-4 with Tua playing (Not including Bills game where he was injured)

 

[Better Call Sal]

Lulz. It's nice to not by the completely dysfunctional team in MetLife for once. We've still got a ways to go, of course. But at least the Jets have a foundation they're putting in place.

Gettleman announced his retirement.
