We were unlucky there, but they should’ve gone for it on 4th & 1. That’s on Rivera. Why he would trust the defense who had been getting owned all second half to keep the Eagles from kicking a FG is nonsensical. Really poor situational awareness and feel for the game.

kingdaddy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Sam Howell just turned 23 years old on 9/16......and he almost pulled off a tremendous comeback upset win over the defending NFC champions. Darius Slay is impressed with him. Is this what it feels like at the start of a franchise QB's career? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't get it Jake Elliot could have walked out right then and kicked the field goal 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Everybody knows that if the Eagles get the ball back in OT, it’s game over. It wouldn’t matter if Jake Elliott kicks it from where we turn the ball over on downs, or if the Eagles would’ve had a 55-60 yard drive to get in FG range. The point is that the defense was terrible in the 2nd half, and I’m not giving the Eagles a chance to get the ball back if we have the first possession of OT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you haven’t heard about the nearly unbeatable tush play that they have that gets them an almost automatic 1st down. Unlike our fake Riverboat Ron Rivera, the Eagles’ coach actually is a gambler, and can afford to be with the Tush Push. If it’s 4th and 6 with the false start called correctly, they probably would’ve gone for that. They were at midfield, so you want to be more aggressive there.

redskinss Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 If Rivera doesn't go for the game winning conversion needing 2 yards but goes for it on 4th well inside Elliotts range needing 5 yards I'd gladly pick up a torch and join the fire Rivera mob because that would be analyticly inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nonsensical that he didn’t go for 2. But, if your defense stinks that day, like it did yesterday, you almost have to go for it on every 4th down in OT. Otherwise, punting them the ball gives them an automatic win. Edited October 3, 2023 by samy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do or Die! In Howell you have to trust at this point. He had been extremely good and the way he ran the 2 min drill you have to trust your QB and play calling here and less on your D.

But if you’re willing to pin your hopes of winning on one do-or-die 4th down conversion in OT, that won’t even result in a W in that moment, just another set of downs—the question remains, why would you not be willing to do the same thing from the 2 yard line at the end of regulation for the W? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody knows that RR should have gone for 2. Anything else is just asking for an inferior team to do too much. Their entire team is better, it was in their house, even their kicker is going to be much better in OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Yeah, Ron left the offensive line to rot for another year. True, he wasted precious games last season that could have been actual playing time for Sam Howell. Yes, he hasn't tried to find a legit plug-and-play starting linebacker in 4 seasons with us. Of course, our only TE options are a fragile veteran coming off a serious injury, a 2nd year sturdy slot receiver, and a bowling ball with butterfingers. But that's all small fry stuff. Ron didn't go for it on 4th down from his own 30. THAT is the line in the sand he shouldn't have crossed. I'm done with Ron. He doesn't understand priorities with this team.

Thinking Skins Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 So Sheehan was in his podcast defending Daniel Jones today. Said he'd still pick him over Howell today. I almost choked on my lunch. Dude had what 3 bad years and one ok year supplanted by a great RB and looked good in a few games but horrible in a lot but wow. He really takes his points to the grave.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Daniel Jones can’t throw the ball down the field. It’s all bubble screens and quick underneath stuff. Of course we will play 4 deep safeties and put Barton on Waller. Edited October 3, 2023 by AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't find a bigger hater on that draft thread for that draft as to trashing Daniel Jones. I ddn't think he'd be a bust but I thought he'd be "meh" like a Case Keenum type. He's been a little better than I gave him credit for. But definitlely limited. He's not had an easy though that's a crap offensive line protecting him. Having said that, the dude will look like a hybrid Tom Brady and Lamar Jackson when he plays us this season. If he can play just this team, he'd go to the Hall of Fame.
