OT: Football Thread

[17futurecap]

At some point the Jets D is going to break, what else can they do?

 

[Boris Zubov]

That's a horrible call on the review. Brown's elbow was clearly out of bounds.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Imagine the jets ever getting a call ever

 

[East Coast Bias]

This game has been laughably officiated. I get calls will be wrong but every single mistake has gone Phillys way.

That sideline review wasn't close...Brown's elbow was out of bounds, then he resets his hands on the ball after a quick bobble. Possession was clearly established after his elbow hit. WTF were they looking at if they couldn't see that clear as day.

 

[17futurecap]

That was a clear false start

 

[Bob Richards]

Jets!

 

[Boris Zubov]

Jets!

Of course it happens when RedZone goes dark & I'm switching the stream on my TV. By the time my Fox stream was up it was 22-14 & I was completely scratching my head wondering what I missed.

 

[East Coast Bias]

LFG. f*** the Eagles

 

[17futurecap]

Hell yea defense

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

EZ win.

Hurts = fraud

 

[ReddestRum]

f*** THE EAGLES.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Hurts = fraud

Their coach is another fraud...such an arrogant prick calling a pass play in that situation.

 

[nyr2k2]

That whole city can get f***ed in the ass. f*** them.

 

[duhmetreE]

Put Rodgers out there with a boot

 

[Crease]

Epic win for the Jets. Man did they need it too.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Hate to post negative vibes after a nice win like that, but Saleh is a moron for not running the clock down & kicking a FG.

They would have found a way to Jets it up. Take the points and let the defense continue to do its thing.

Jets curse or not, you can't give them the ball back at the end of the game with a chance to win. I'm glad they got away with it, but it's not smart football. As a coach that's the way to lose your job.

The Eagles had two time outs, though. If the Jets got stuffed a few times and Philly used time outs they'd have gotten the ball back with like 50 seconds where a FG would win it.

I feel like I am going back and forth on it, the Jets defense was so good. You are forcing them to score a td with the td.

I can’t get over how well the defense played. They need to sign Huff to an extension during the bye week.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Jets have one of the worst redzone offenses in the league. I’m fine taking the TD and letting your defense, which is your strength, try to win it.

I definitely understand the wisdom of taking the FG and running off time. But for me, if I'm Saleh, I'm 100% confident those guys are not going to score a TD on my defense the way it has been playing.

A field goal? A field goal to win, that's one of those things where one sloppy missed tackle nets an extra 15 YAC, or one terrible pass interference call or something goes against you, and suddenly Philly is sitting on a 56 yard kick to win.

I'm more comfortable in betting that we don't allow a TD than a FG, even if the FG scenario is with a minute and no time outs. Too much crazy shit in the latter scenario for me, and in this NFL, it almost feels like that scenario is a sure win for the offense given how good the two minute offenses are for most teams and how good kickers are.

Anyway, it is what it is. I was fine with the call at the time and it worked out.

 

[I Eat Crow]

You can put a literal traffic cone at left tackle and it would do better.

 

[nyr2k2]

How good is Josh Allen actually? Some games, with his physical skills, he looks literally unstoppable and like a future HOFer. Other games he looks like all the bad things in his draft profile and like he's just kind of "eh."
