Idiotic hypocrites whining about coach Reid

[dlphg9]

What's really funny to me is that most people bitching about "taking the ball out of our best playmakers hands", are the ones that bitch about clock management and scoring too quickly/not running the ball to run clock. If we throw the ball there and Hill/Kelce take it to the house and then Lamar scores on our shit defense, then you idiots are bitching that we threw it too much, scored too quickly and didn't run it enough.

We had 1:24 left, all 3 timeouts, and had already made it to the Ravens 32 yd line. We were running our offense and ran it on 2nd and 3 burn some clock and try to get the 1st down. He wasn't trying to settle for a 50ish yard FG and I guarantee he doesn't run that ball even if it's 3rd and 1.

Just look at the how much time was on the game clock when we got the ball on the last drive 3:14. We were clearly running down as much clock as possible and ran only 2 plays in 1:14 of game time to the 2 minute warning. We pass it after the 2 minute warning and for the first time that drive we had a 2nd down. We run it, so that we can for sure get the clock down to 45ish seconds before the next play, but an incomplete pass stops the clock with around 1:10. If we don't convert 2nd and 3 the clock still runs and then we have 3rd down to pass it. An incomplete pass on 3rd down stops the clock, but since we ran it the play before there is only around 30 seconds left and then we kick the FG and Baltimore gets the ball with 1 time out and 15 - 20 sec left or no timeouts and 45 - 50 seconds. An incompletion on 2nd and then 3rd gives Baltimore over a minute with a timeout left. Andy knew the D wasn't stopping them and didn't want them to get the ball with any time if we don't convert there. He just didn't expect Clyde to have his first fumble there.

This is the question I have more than anything else.

Why run the **** into that dangerous ass minefield?

Did they not have a audible?

They had 3 TOs. Call a TO regroup. Andy, Patrick anybody call a TO don’t handoff and run into that shitstorm.

Got it horribly wrong, but I honestly thought our defence couldn't be that bad.

I get it. A naked look at the set up would lead you to believe a blowout was in the cards, but I've watched and really (as far as paying attention to stuff like this) bet so much NFL in my life, that I've really come to believe that it's never smart to predict a blowout in the NFL unless one of the teams is just such dog shit, but even then, it's still the exception rather than the rule.

The Ravens were going to beat us at some point. Nobody is going whatever and 0 against a rival they play every year or every couple of years. The fact that it took the perfect shit storm, is a good sign.
