I'm as disgusted as I've ever been with Alex for that 4th down but he rarely has any time

I think what bothers me most is...
Even if he has more time, there are games like this where you see why he struggles on the final drive in many games. On the last series of the game, what do you have to lose? Take a ****ing shot at a receiver. On 4th down, there is ZERO excuse not to at least throw a jump ball.

In many comebacks this year, I see that guard being dropped. You see moments of excellent play when the team is behind and needs critical scores. But you see too many like today's final drive and so many other drives, where he goes back into his shell. I really don't know why that is.

That is what is so puzzling about his thinking. It's 4th down and 19 at the end of the game and he runs out of bounds for a loss! WTF! Does he want to protect his touchdown to interception stats? Throw the damn ball downfield! At least try to make a play. You can't complete a pass by running out of bounds.

what would be the point? He was tired of taking hits... why chuck it when it won't at all matter what the result of that play is?

why even give a shit about that one play? game was over..

Maybe he could show some leadership. At least show your team that you have some fight in you. Running out of bounds and giving up is unacceptable. It's like taking a called third strike right down the middle to end the game, go down swinging or get out of town.

Great excuse. Every leader should put that above their locker.

No it's not, because in baseball, so long as you don't give up the 3rd out the game is never over.
