Who gives a fuck who called it? 4th and 4 at the six is a low percentage play. With 3 plus minutes left and all your timeouts, kick the field goal. I think that 4th down play last week when they didn't have a kicker made him brave. At 22-10 they should have kicked the field goal as well. Bowles needs to smarten up quick. The sad thing is, this team has 8-8 written all over it. The good thing is in the off season we can watch Mac go to work and duplicate the jauggernaut he built in Texas....oh wait....he didn't.
Why? The QB sneak was perfectly fine. There was a huge hole in the middle and we got enough yards on 3rd and 10 (?) to make 4th down manageable, I think it was 4th and 5. And we converted. So you want to blame Fitz for that now or praise him? I don't get it. Chan Gailey's playcalling has been terrible in key situations, that's what I blame him for. Why does he call a play on 4th and 3 or 4 where Thompkins runs a 1 yard slant? The other one I was fine with. The 4th and 1-2 with a screen to Marshall. I'd put my Marshall on getting a yard after the catch against a corner 99 out of 100 times. Didn't work out that time unfortunately, the corner made a great play and actually knows how to tackle. Maybe we can get him to coach up Demario Dumbass.
It was illogical to kick the XP at 22-9 (rather than go for 2) and then not kick the FG at 22-10. If you are only going for TD's, it doesn't matter if its 22-9 or 22-10. But you can use FG if it's 22-11. TB seems like the type who can learn from mistakes so there's hope.
Apologize for what? Gailey called several passes that failed miserably. His game plan could have been right out of the Vanderbuilt playbook. Please please please tell us why anyone with a f'n brain should apologize to Gailey? He should just resign and take the first train back to BFE.
This team had 8-8 written all over it BEFORE the season started. The fast start fooled a lot of people.
I thought they might have been audibles, but I figured Fitzpatrick wasn't that dumb to do that. To think I actually tried to defend him on here last night lol I e-pologize to Mr Gailey
The unawareness of Davis in the EZ reminded me of the Sudfeld play against the Pack a couple years ago.
Gailey made calls like an ass. Who calls plays designed for one or two yards when it's 3rd or 4th down and 5 or more yards? Tool.
Why does the qb sneak on 3 and 10 even matter??? They converted the following 4th down attempt. Shouldn't even be an issue. Now the BONE-HEAD plays that were run WELL short of the sticks are the problem. the 3rd down throw to decker after the muffed punt had me pulling my hair out, Marshall was 1-1 over the middle and Fitz didn't even look his way. The play should've been fade to Marshall, Decker over the middle or Ivory run THAT'S IT And did anyone else see Marshall 1-1 on the outside with no single high safety several times tonight? Fitz has to see that and check to a deep pass on those kinds of coverages. All sorts of missed opportunities.
It was so much worse though. I mean he was wide open and he turned around and had his head in every possible angle to find the ball except that one where he could actually find the ball. Such an idiot. But this is the shit that always happens to the Jets when it's crunch time. Some idiot goes braindead. I don't know if it's the football gods or if we're just being punished for expecting guys like that to make those plays. Did you see Cutler rifle a perfect pass to that nobody (TE Zach Miller) with the game on the line and he steps up and makes arguably the best and most important catch of the season so far to win the game for the Bears? Then look at Kellen Davis that idiot who all he had to do was show some awareness. Just turn around you imbecile. You are in the endzone, you are wide open. Turn around. Ugh...
I'm not talking the QB sneak. Fitz audibled the bubble screen to Marshall and the 1 yd curl prior to the Davis debacle
Should have called a TO. That pass has to go to Decker or Kerley aka money makers. Also Sheldon Richardson would have picked up the 1 yd Ivory couldn't. Instead Ivory gets pushed back for a loss. Pathetic
Misunderstanding on my part, I'm with you. If Marshall is 1-1 throw a deep-intermediate comeback route. He's your start WR let him make a play. You can't throw a bubble screen, especially not late. Fitz hesitated and the CB closed on Marshall before he could make a legit move.
Example of why a Harvard education means nothing when it comes to quarterbacking a football team. I'm sick of hearing how Fitz is so smart. He may be smart but he is not football smart and he doesn't have the physical skills to back up his recklessness. Gailey still called a horrible game.
Um, yeah, the cornerback played off coverage with a 5+ yard cushion. When you need 1 yard throwing a screen there to a machine like Marshall would make sense.
The QB draw was OBVIOUSLY a Fitz audible. The fourth down play eh with the way the staff called the game last night it wouldn't shock me if scrub Thompkins was their target, probably on another one yard out
Idk about Kerley. He was getting hammered at the point of catch all night. I think it was the right play. Kellen was open. It's a shame that Kellen decent blocking and nothing else, though. If Amaro is in that play, he makes the catch.
no it doesn't. It makes no fucking sense in any way. obviously you saw the result! if you are going to run a pass play on 4th down it absolutely HAS To be past the 1st down marker! That was a horrible decision by Fitzpatrick especially when you consider he was throwing a screen pass to a WR that was noticeably injured. That was the worst call of the game and it sucks even worse because it occurred after the worst drop of the game.
This. if you are going to go for it on 4th down on that last possession make sure you get the right play in and get it right.
