Last Kickoff should have been dropped at the 5

[JoeKing]

Assuming you meant Heath..

Yup my bad, thanks for the correction.

Yup my bad, thanks for the correction.

Heath was all over the place in that game...Really loved the way he stoned michael on that goof he did on the kickoff which in my opinion started the momentum swing.

Like all of us, I was concerned on the last possession that we were leaving Rodgers too much time. I said at the time we should pop the ball up and try to drop in between the 5 and the goalline in order to run more time off the clock. Every second you leave Rodgers is critical and that would have eaten up at least a few seconds. Of course there is a risk of return, but with the touchback being the 25, I think I would take that risk as you may well be able to use up some time and pin them behind the 25.

Anyway, with all of the second guessing, I hadn't seen anything brought up about this. My 2 cents.

Excellent thought but that would require a smart coach.

You do know that we have a high school HC in training right?

I said the exact same thing in my play-by-play. Drop the ball on the two ,make it to the 21 there will be 8 seconds less to do something.

exactly, it is obvious thing to do to take some time off, but sadly our HC didnt think of that, and neither did the ST coach.
Take away even 4 seconds, and the game would have ended, and gone to OT.

I watched the game again , and the cowboy coaches made so many mistakes, it is amazing the game was so close at end.

 

[DandyDon52]

For as smart and analytical as Red wants to come across as, little in game strategies like this don't seem to be on his mind. If a guy sitting on his coach can figure it out, one would think our ivy league coach could too.

he cant think fast, or ad lib, he just likes to plan stuff, and try to win with execution of the same thing over and over.

Shoulda done this, shoulda done that...how about not giving up a 36 yard pass on 3rd and 20 with 3 seconds left?

 

[Cmac]

....then you open room for ST to let him get to the 40+ yard line or longer.

yeah just watched the post game with jg and he said they had good coverage, and it was just aaron being superman, and cook a great catch.
But bottom line is no one covered cook on that play.
And sure it was great play by aaron and cook, but dallas made it easy for them.

He also went on about they showed who they were, which is a team that fights and claws, which is kinda like a moral victory.
I also watched the McCarthy presser, and I got the impression he felt they were lucky to win that game.
Like lucky for us stalling on that drive, then leaving too much time, and they didnt have to use their timeouts.
and lucky we only rushed 3 on that last play and 1 guy on that play butler I think, was just a spy on rodgers, and on 3rd and 20 I dont think
we needed him to spy but be a part of the rush or coverage.

 

[Teague31]

Yep. I was calling for a squib kick the entire commercial break

 

[Aven8]

That's all on Bisachia folks. His ST's leave A LOT to be desired!!

No, it is all on Garrett.

He is the head coach. He should know. If people on this forum can figure that out then surely the Princeton Grad can.

It is 100 percent on our terrible head coach.

I was thinking same thing but thought coming off the FG - kicker would be so hyped the kick even though trying to go short would be into end zone.
