NFL GDT: Week 12: Harbaugh Family Reunion

[GKJ]

Bad clock management, and they get what they deserve

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Seahawks lead the West.

 

[RedRocking]

Don’t you get a trash backdoor cover, Raiders! Don’t you do it!

 

[sigma six]

What a 180 for the Hawks defense, very happy with that squad. Wish the O would be more consistent.

 

[Terry Yake]

nfc west is a fun division this season

 

[EpochLink]

The Seahawks lead the West.

Niners are about to take that L to the Packers.

 

[StreetHawk]

You've already won the game though. Under 5 minutes. It's a bitch move by the Packers.

It’s not. As you can drain over 2 minutes off the clock as you would use up the full 40 second play clock between plays so over 2:10 should come off the clock if you can’t convert another first.
If you punt SF is going to run more plays on that 2:10 than the 3 GB would run.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Arizona was playing that last drive like they were down 7

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

I want a Rams W tonight for even more chaos out west .

You actually think the 49ers have enough time to score three touchdowns just to tie it with only 5:00 left? lmao There's no need to punt there either. They were in FG range. It's a bitch move by the Packers.

Not super surprising that it took a while to get Macdonald's defense in order. It's supposed to be very involved with the linebackers' dropping and all that jazz.

 

[GKJ]

The Seahawks lead the West.

The Seahawks started 3-0, thus in first place, and then two week ago they were in last place, now they are in first again

Not a win/loss thing or score thing. GB wants the game to end faster. Keeping the ball does that. With 5 minutes to go, if GB can secure 2 firsts the game will be over in 8 plays or so.

 

[RedRocking]

Cool, Broncos cover. I was about to murder a mf

 

[Blitzkrug]

Denver's grip on the final wildcard spot gets a little bit firmer with the Colts losing.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

29-19 seems different

As always a Raiders game turns when Minschew throws the pick. TD off that and Denver never looks back.

 

[Terry Yake]

ball on the 1 needing a score and raiders call two pass plays lmao

clowns

They already won the game. End it faster? Not sure what you're on about. I was surprised they didn't start using their timeouts to get the ball back at the end there.

 

[GKJ]

It is.

 

[Romang67]

Impressed with what Canales is doing with a bad roster with a ton of injuries the past few weeks. Good to see Young is playing better too.

 

[GKJ]

clowns

They had no timeouts

 

[Ace]

Need a big night from the Eagles offense tonight. Up a couple points. We each have three players left. I’m Philly stacked with Hurts, Brown and Goedert. Opponent has three going tomorrow with Lamar, Flowers and Dobbins.

Most of my roster has betrayed me but Jacobs day left me with a chance.

Ending the game faster means that the game clock continues to tick when GB has the ball as they are not throwing passes to risk incomplete passes to stop the clock, nor would they run out of bounds.
Assume each play takes 4 seconds to run. Time below is the game clock when ball is snapped.

5:00 4th down (go for and get first down)
4:16 1st down. Play clock will continue to run another 40 seconds after GB gets the first down when they would then have to snap the ball
3:32 2nd down
2:48 3rd down
2:04 4th down or 1st down.

If 4th down and short, go for it again. Game clock stops at 2 minutes. If they get the first down. Take 3 knees to end the game.

If 1st down just before 2 minutes. Run a regular play. Can even throw it since the game clock stops at 2 minutes anyways.
2:00 2nd down, can't just kneel out the game, so can either opt to run plays or just kneel on the ball
1:26 3rd down
0:42 4th down. Might end up giving the ball back to SF with under 40 seconds to go.

 

[Romang67]

Eagles-Rams should be a pretty good game. Rams are fighting for their playoff hopes in a the dogfight that is the NFC West. Eagles are rolling right now, but are down DeVonta Smith.
