Kiwibrown Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Thinking about it going on 4th-1 with a 1 point lead was pretty stupid. Take the 3, boot the ball out the back of the end zone on the kick off and then play defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaYArEa32 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Only reason I said baker is because the kicking situation has been so ehh this season I know Joseph is like 13-15 but still would rather take chance to end game with bake or Chubb the the foot of Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 FG 100% of the time. Make them drive the field and score a TD to near you, not just get within FG range. Greggggg is lucky we got the stop, or that’s a blunder that’s hard to recover from. I feel like that would have cost him any chance at being the HC next season tbh (still think his chances are slim).

sdrawkcab321 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I agreed with the play. You have a beast at RB and FGs aren’t guaranteed. Greg Robinson blew his assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to know that an inside stunt is the one thing that can hurt you, so you got play it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I have no problem going for it on 4th down. You make it, you win the game. You get stopped. Denvrt starts on their 10 with no timeout. He is showing faith in his offense and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheeRealDeal Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It was a terrible call for numerous reasons. The obvious reason being that the odds say making the other team drive the entire field for a TD is much more in your favor than making the other team drive 2/3 of a field for a FG. The other reason I absolutely hat the call was because it showed no clear plan or direction. It was a living in the moment call. If the plan was to go for it on 4th down from the beginning then the ball should have been put in the air on 1st or 2nd down via play action. You knew the other team was selling out to stop the run and even with an incomplete pass one run would have taken it to the two minute warning. Greg Williams too a big step back in his bid for head coach IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 For me it boils down to the series that got him to that decision: *I LOVED the decision to go out on 4th down and draw them offsides, but Greg panicked and called timeout...but I’d also bet that they were going to run a play and he didn’t like what he saw instead of just doing that. *At this point, you have to kick the field goal. You can’t call a second timeout after the first or it’s a penalty. *You have to go up 4 points and make a TD beat you. They’d need to score a TD with under 2 minutes left and no timeouts. *If you’re gonna go for it in that situation, I’d prefer some type of read option or RPO look, not a 7 vs 9 running play begging to get stuffed, although Chubb is the man. I understand what he’s trying to do with this team, believe in them, change the awful mentality over the last 3-20 years, and let it ride because we win if we get a yard. Unfortunately no one was in his ear or he wasn’t listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been throwing it more tbh with their injuries at corner. If theyre in man, assumed your WR can beat a safety 1:1. If they’re zone, flood one short and move the ball. Way too conservative and concerned about the clock when it came to play calling. 4 minutes ago, TheeRealDeal said: Greg Williams too a big step back in his bid for head coach IMO. Yeah this is a “more balls than brains” move. Can’t have those imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonanza23 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I thought that whole last drive was dumb. We take the ball out of Mayfields hands and go all conservative by playing for a field goal and then gamble by going for it? If we were up against a better team we probably lose because of it. But that’s Williams in a nutshell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s Williams in a nutshell. Yeah they’ve got offensive tackles and ball boys playing CB and we start trying to pound the ball “cuz the clock”... Go 5 wide, expose their depth issues and score. The clock won’t matter then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelbell Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I liked the call.....based on the review the ball should’ve been spotted closer but the refs screwed that up too (shocker) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt27j Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I think it was an emotional decision based on the refs. Shouldve been spotted closer and I dont think anyone wanted the game slip away like it did in Oakland where a sneak couldve gotten the 1st. That being said, Denver was not going to find the end zone if we kick a fg. Luckily for Greg he showed his guts and more importantly the defense had his back and shut it down when they needed too the most. Guts and luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I didn't mind the call. Although it would have been a chip shot FG, we all know Joseph isn't exactly reliable at this point. If we had a more consistent kicker, then I'd say take the FG. Otherwise, I like the aggressiveness to go for the first down so the Broncos wouldn't be able to stop the clock. It didn't help that the refs gave us a crappy spot - even if Njoku didn't get the first down, he was still closer than the spot they gave us. Greg Robinson just did a horrible job of executing on the running play, and that's what costed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
