Yes, agreed. He overthrew some long passes that would have been big plays or touchdowns, he had several balls batted down, you're absolutely correct. If you turn him into a pocket passer, he doesn't get it done.
Might be a hot take, but I don't really hate them going for it. The ball hit Reynolds in the hands and then on the other 4th down play when they were trailing Goff had the rub underneath but got flushed out to the opposite side. Both plays were open, poor execution.
Poor Raiders fans. The hated Kansas City Chiefs are going to play a playoff game in the Raiders new stadium before the Raiders do.
Offensive coordinator or head coach, he's ultimately responsible. Like people want to blame Pete Carroll for not giving the ball to Marshawn Lynch, maybe that was the offensive coordinator, but you can't tell me that on a single play of that magnitude the head coach isn't aware. As for mistakes on that final drive, even if we absolve him of calling the running play, they let the clock run all the way down so they could preserve their timeouts for giving the ball back to the Niners, and then threw all of that out the window. The running play, followed by going for it on fourth down again??? There's aggressiveness, and then there's just stupidity. The fact that it worked out and they scored the touchdown is pointless, earlier in the game when they went for it and the receiver dropped a fairly easy pass, it didn't change the fact that he should have gone for it. It doesn't change it here. When you're down 10 and it's fourth and goal at the 3 with under a minute left, why the hell are you going for the touchdown? I get the whole idea that a touchdown gives you a much easier play for a field goal, but if that doesn't work out, the game is over on the spot. To summarize, bad play, bad clock management, overly aggressive decisions at the wrong times. Jets fans recognize this stuff.
I flip-flop those. I was OK with going for it early in the third-quarter, going up three scores with 25 minutes left in the game is not the same as doing it in the fourth quarter. I think it was incredibly stupid not to tie the game after the Niners had all that momentum. Put the damn points on the board, wipe the slate clean, and hope you can stem the tide at that point.
I’ve just never been a fan of chasing points. I understand going for it on the opposing 39-45ish if you have a shaky field goal kicker. I understand going for it in a lot of scenarios honestly. Just felt like a good opportunity to keep stacking points.
I'm super excited to hear Taylor Swift noise everytime football is even mentioned for the next two weeks!
In fairness to Lamar if the Ravens don't fumble that ball at the goal line, we may be having a different conversation about the Ravens today. Great play by the Chiefs DB to cause the fumble.
Don’t ask me to make sense of it but he’s almost 10 full percentage points better kicking outside than he is in a dome although he’s missed the same amount of kicks in both. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BadgMi00/splits/
If the 49ers dont have a freak game with a million QB injuries this would've been the same Super Bowl matchup 2 years in a row
no biggie but disagree on late td. Odds of recovery plus td are wayyyyyyy lower than recovery and fg...so what if the game is over 6 seconds earlier
I'm not a calculus major, so I will take your word for it. But 0% is lower than .0001 and if you don't get in the end zone, that's where you are.
And it would have accounted for 3 of the last 5 Super Bowl matchups had they not had those QB injuries.
