McCarthy must have watched the Giants bungle the end of the 1st half last night and said let me just take the FG and not let Dak screw it up.

McCarthy doesn't need to watch another team screw up,he can do it well enough on his own.

 

[kupcho1]

Excuse me while I kiss the sky . . .

Kiss this guy???

 

[barackdhouse]

Excuse me while I kiss the sky . . .

oh? that sounds fun

 

[TheWinz]

Excuse me while I kiss the sky . . .

You know what? Lately, things don't seem the same.

 

[SengerCJ]

I’m still confused why the clock ran after the Gallup catch. Didn’t the hit send him out of bounds? I thought I knew this rule

He was going backwards. Clock runs if you exit the field of play going backwards.

I guess I just didn’t see it as a backwards movement. By the time it’s a catch, he’s at the sideline at the 37 and immediately goes out. Nonetheless, I’m more confused as to why a timeout wasn’t called.

 

[travdogg]

Josh Palmer is like the king of nice catches that get called back by penalties.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I miss the old Monday Night Countdown crew.
Suzie,Steve,Randy...

God, I hate Steven A. Smith

His NFL knowledge is loose and lacks a lot of fundamentals
I wish he would stick to his lane which is basketball for the most part
I don't take much of his NFL takes seriously

 

[rockaction]

Josh Palmer is like the king of nice catches that get called back by penalties.

Thank goodness for that so far. I'm up thirty-five against his Palmer with my Parsons, who is doing absolutely nothing in the stat sheet.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

12 of the 14 games this weekend went Under including the TNF
Indy-Jax and Car-MIA appear to be the only ones that went over

 

[Joe Bryant]

Brutal game so far.

You can’t actually be worried about Palmer scoring 35+ lol

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

This game is ugly.

 

[dickey moe]

What a stop.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Brutal game so far.

Do you feel the defenses have been playing well or the QB play is subpar?

I know you didn’t ask me but the Chargers apparently don’t know the rules on offense. Lots of penalties.

 

[VikingFrog]

Does anyone kick field goals any more?

 

[SengerCJ]

Hot take alert, field goal ties the game there

 

[rockaction]

I have a bunch of games hinging on these performances, so I wouldn't mind if he scored twenty-one or so on three one yard touchdowns.

That said, I've seen too many of these on this board


Never relenting, never supposing, never resting

 

[Ghost Rider]

Play stupid games, you win stupid prizes.

Incredibly poorly coached team.

Staley stinks!!!!

 

[Todem]

No because analytics have ruined common sense.

 

[irish eyes]

Dallas offense is offensive

 

[rockaction]

And . . . everybody who hated going for it is going to note Derius Davis just took a punt right back inside the fifty. This has been your analytic PSA of the night.

Amazing this idiot still has a job.

Math checks out, I double checked

 

[travdogg]

No because analytics have ruined common sense.

Except for the times when they have fixed stupidity.

Coaches make better decisions now than ever, that's why when they don't it stands out more.

 

[rockaction]

No because analytics have ruined common sense.

The expected win percentage of going for it, failing, and getting the ball right back at the fifty is a slam dunk for analytics in this case.

 

[rockaction]

I am not a hardcore analytics guy, but that was a perfect example of using them and having it work out.

 

[SengerCJ]

And . . . everybody who hated going for it is going to note Derius Davis just took a punt right back inside the fifty. This has been your analytic PSA of the night.

I definitely still take a 10-10 game over “we’re losing but field position!”

 

[rockaction]

Josh Kelley. Not a great back. Isaiah Spiller? He helped teach me my dynasty lesson of taking guys too soon in rookie drafts when they don't have their team's draft capital to support doing that. Lesson learned. Never listen to internet guys doing mph analysis from their televisions.

 

[TheWinz]

If LAC chooses to bypass another 3 pts, I will start rooting for them to lose

 

[rockaction]

I definitely still take a 10-10 game over “we’re losing but field position!”

Senger! Great to see you.

Unfortunately, expected win percentage would probably disagree with you, and that's what I'm going with in that instance.

They're nearly immediately on the twenty-five.

Spiller never looked like the best RB at his college. Couldn't believe the hype he had. Trey Sermon was like that too, only Sermon is probably better.

 

[renesauz]

keep feeding Allen!

Unfortunately for you I am ready to die tonight and this hill is all I have.

 

[rockaction]

First down at the nine. Right back where they started a few minutes ago.

 

[travdogg]

Just like Barkley, Ekeler doesn't look quite right, but is better at 75% than what was replacing him.

 

[rockaction]

Spiller never looked like the best RB at his college.

That does look like a "for sure" statement in retrospect. But the other guy hasn't proven he can play more than a few consecutive games in the NFL. We'll see about the pounding aspect of the NFL for an undersized guy. I know people are tired of that argument and knee injuries happen to even 5'11", 220 pound guys, but we'll see.

But yeah, a Devon is a better back than Spiller.

 

[timschochet]

I was only able to turn this on just now. Is the score a case of great defense or incompetence on offense?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Another way to look at it is, the Chargers just completely dominated the 3rd quarter...and have 3 points to show for it. But ANALYTICS!!

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Does anyone kick field goals any more?

And be called a pansy in the media? no way.

 

[rockaction]

10 - 10.

Okay, every anti-analytic guy happy?

 

[Ghost Rider]

Good defense and bad coaching decisions.

 

[rockaction]

YES IT SHOULD BE 13-10!

Except, no, it shouldn't. They dominated the quarter because they had them in bad field position and never relented on having that advantage. They had seven tries inside the ten and couldn't cash out.

 

[travdogg]

I thought Achane was much better in 2021.

Spiller never looked like an NFL starter in my eyes.

 

[VikingFrog]

Just like Barkley, Ekeler doesn't look quite right, but is better at 75% than what was replacing him.

Only difference is the giants were like F It

Let’s five Barkley 1,000 carries anyways

 

[travdogg]

His volume has carried him a bit so far, but man Pollard has been disappointing this year. The big plays are just not there. Is it the injury, is it Moore being gone, was Zeke wearing down defenses (least likely) but its been tough sledding.

 

[efactor]

Every time Pollard gets the ball, it's like he's looking at a team portrait of the Chargers D.

Nowhere to go

 

[Todem]

First down at the nine. Right back where they started a few minutes ago.

And it could have been 10-10 going in for 13-10 or 17-10.

The difference is about 20 yards starting field position. You can play whatever results we want too.

I see too many dumb tactical decisions these days as well as horrid clock management.

 

[FarFromHome]

Not the biggest Dallas fan, but I can't remember their offensive line getting owned like this in long time.

 

[Todem]

Dear god horrendous tackling.
