After a nearly unprecedented collapse last year, hiring a couple of castoff coordinators didn’t give me any reason to be optimistic. Even if we did win this game, this team is still way too flawed to be a serious contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 100% the correct play call wide open in his hands for the first down. I’d understand if Barkley was covered or if the play broke down But it worked. Wide open. Players need to make plays 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that same loser vibe honestly. Like who didn't think Jalen wasn't gonna throw an int at the end there? It's just a loser team straight up. It’s hero ball at that point, you can’t take a sack and you have to force it downfield. Im not a huge Jalen guy but he put them in the portion to win and was letdown.

What are we talking about here? if saquon catches the ball they take 3 knees and win everything that happened after is because he didn’t catch the ball. this isn’t even a discussion lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saquon did enough. You can not give up a 70-80yd TD drive in 1:05 seconds to lose the game. Period MF point blank!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted Tuesday at 03:30 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:30 AM Part of me feels like Saquon would've ripped off a first down run on that big 3rd down. I think the call should have been a run. Saquon drop was the losing factor though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabbs4u Posted Tuesday at 03:31 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:31 AM In B2B games we've given up 150+ rushing yds on defense! That's an issue!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saquon didn’t do enough he he dropped the ball losing the game had the defense played well at all this game? players need to make plays. Saquon catches it time runs out. The fact that this is a debate shows how much fans pick and choose who they criticize imagine if jalen had thrown a pick in that moment or if he had fumbled the snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of NFL quarterbacks lead their team to a FG attempt in that situation. Jalen played a great game but he does what he did there a lot in those situations. Back against the wall with like 30 seconds he usually throws a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer term discussions are different but that was the right play call, the right time, and saquon came up short it was a losing play it was no different than a turnover in that spot. A FG kept it a 1 possession game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get the W but it's a sloppy game and we walk away not really feeling good about it. From page 1. Even if Saquon catches it, y’all are still feeling good about this team? The overall talent makes up for the lackluster coaching but it makes the ceiling lower. The best case scenario for this team is a wildcard appearance.
