We have a coach who has one foot in and one foot out with this analytics **** and it costs us every game.
These stupid play calls in the red zone or when it’s less than 5 yards we need are just idiotic. That last possession when we could have iced the game made no sense. There’s no reason we shouldn’t have kept running the ball because we should have bled the clock and THEN go for it on 4th if it’s close. The third down pass to Saquon could have been the 4th down play instead or if we were in a 4th and short just tush push it.
Falcons logic would have been to just get in field goal range if we failed the 4th down and gave it back up 3, they had no timeouts. There wouldn’t be these deep sideline throws to Mooney to eat big chunks and get them in the red zone. Worst case scenario the game goes to OT, instead the Falcons know they HAVE to score 7 and they walk your terrible defense down with no resistance.
