The better question on that final pass is why not have a trailing player for the lateral?

Because they would have had a defender play that. All the Eagles were doing is basically putting they're feet on the goalline and saying "break a tackle."

I thought they should have thrown it shorter to CD so he had more time to try to make a man miss, but that's nitpicking.

Honest question but isn't grounding way better than a sack in that situation. You burn way more clock and lose field position?

Your stupid Todd - 5 yards makes no difference on the last play. The Eagles still set up at the goal line and the ball is put in the exact same place!!!

10 second runoff I think so not much.

If so that is one less guy CD has to avoid at the goaline. You put Turpin as the trailer and nobody is keeping up with him.

I guess. There's no difference in trying to break a tackle from 4 guys instead of 3. You're still not going to do it.

because our coaches don't plan for worst case scenario. they don't think ahead.

I'd ask why after seeing Steele struggle they didn't get him some help in a moment when the worst thing you can do other than a turnover is take a sack?

We lost more than 10 seconds trying to rehuddle and snap the ball again.

This team repeatedly shoots itself in the foit when put in pressure situations
The issues usually come down to lack of duscipline and situational awareness
These are at the feet of the HC, OC, and QB

Yea that play call was never getting in. Atleast not with our personnel. Deebo would've had a hard time getting in at the 1

The bigger thing there is the wasted play that resulted not the 3-4 second difference.

You can't take the sack. At least with the runoff you have time to set your next play!

He gets it in stride, he walks in. No tackles broken.

Yes it was. In stride and he walks in. Him coming back for it was what allowed the Eagles to rally to the ball.
In stride he was either ahead of the guys behind him, or going the wrong direction for the guys in front.

Yeah, the grounding argument from Archer is dumb. You're at the 10 yard line. Just wing it out of bounds over someone's head and you're good.

Re the sack: In fairness, Dak had only a split-second to react. Lucky it wasn't a fumble. That one's totally on the RT.

On the final pass, it looked to me like #87 was favorably situated well near the back of the end zone, beyond Cee Dee's short-of-goal line position. Would have preferred to see the ball go there under the circumstances.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Nonsense.

The whole defense would adjust to the ball's flight path.

you gotta love the media focusing on like Hail Mary scenarios instead of middle of the plate stuff like Steele being left alone to get Dak killed, about how the offensive line has opened like 4 holes in the running game this year, how the defense lines up in the neutral zone like no other team I have ever seen, etc etc
