RansomthePasserby

We’re most likely done for the year, and I’m not even expecting a win, but please please please no more shotgun formation blind side strip sacks or draw play to Samuel blown up in the backfield. If we’re going to lose, I want to lose running the ball with dignity. That’s all I ask.

Dan is a pirate and we’re his prisoners. Paying pirate ransom sucks, but it’s better than the alternative. Thankfully we’re almost free.

Exactly, I distinctly remember seeing one play action roll out against the Giants that worked beautifully, then never seeing it again. We have a strong running game and a short QB, PA bootlegs should be a staple of our passing game. I know it’s boring, but I bet we would be much more consistent lining up under center, running the ball north-south, and building the pass off of the run using PA. And we should throw out the section of the playbook with shotgun formation 5 step drop back passes, especially within 15 yards of either goal line. That was the cause of both of our turnovers.

Agree, the team wants to win and the players are playing hard enough to. Our problem is bad pass protection by the OL and limited QB play compounded by horrible play calling that doesn’t take advantage of our strengths. We have a talent and strategy problem, not a motivation problem.

This makes the most sense. Wouldn’t have to change the logo or anything.

Maybe he saw 55 out of the corner of his eye and didn’t feel confident he could get around him?

If that’s the case the only option is the ref intentionally misled Terry during the most important play of the game.

Yeah, as bad as our offense is now, I don’t think people remember how frustratingly inept our offense was under Wentz. It felt hopeless.

Looks like the ref points at an angle, Terry moves up to where the ref pointed to, then the ref throws a flag.

Hated that. We should have given at least half of Samuel’s plays to BRob. Also hated lining up in shotgun formation in the red zone or when we’re backed up against our own goal line when BRob has been unstoppable all night. That cost us a sack/fumble resulting in a TD for the Giants.

Watching the illegal formation call video @Reaper Skins posted, it looks like Terry checked with the ref. When the ref pointed, his arm is at and angle vs. the line of scrimmage and Terry moves up to where the ref is pointing. Seems like it was some kind of miscommunication and Terry thought he was ok. The frustrating thing about this penalty is it had nothing to do with the play.

I think the shock from the TD getting called back took the fight out of them

Pretty clearly was

LOTS of contact looks like DPI!?

Don’t see the penalty?

Turner’s play calling has been horrible. We should not be in shotgun formation within 15 yards of the goal on either side of the field.

What??

With the knockout hand gesture on top of it

We need to quit the 5 step drop back

Sounded like they pointed the mic in that direction too

We’re going to wear them down tonight

Hoping St Juste is healthy, it doesn’t look like there’s any news one way or the other yet. Commanders 27 Giants 13

I think we win by double digits if St Juste was in the lineup instead of a rookie CB who was totally in over his head. Even with an unhealthy OL and TEs pooping the bed.

No, I don’t think so, and the number of points don’t matter, in fact I think people actually like a close lowish scoring game when it ends in victory. I easily get jazzed by a run first defensive team when we win. We just haven’t had an effective run first defensive team until recently, and that’s been the problem. I remember yelling at the screen the past few years when we would hand it off for 1 yard on first down to start every series. The. It’s 2nd and 9, ugh. That’s what people don’t like. However I think people love when you gain 4-5 to make it 2nd and 6 and occasionally pop one for 15-20 yards like we have been doing this year. Now if we had consistent QB play to augment our style of football and push games from a coin flip to confidence, people would be back in the stadium. The point is, consistent winning is what matters. We’re not consistent winners, so people aren’t going to spend their Sunday going to a game when they could be doing other things with their life.

I don’t know, I think they may have won by two scores if St Juste was in the game and Holmes wasn’t. St Juste may have picked off the long past where Holmes got beat (Holmes was even in good position to go for a pick before he stumbled). If St Juste is back after the bye I feel very good about our chances.
