**Wildcard Sun Night Football - Washington at Tampa Bay**(-3, 51) 8:00 NBC (2 Viewers)

Glad they got the TD, But tbh I would have still kicked it there too.

 

[hamsterdam]

Forward progress? What? That was a pick

 

[fatness]

Washington keeps forgetting they are not that good.

 

[hamsterdam]

Man commanders go for every 4th down wild

 

[SengerCJ]

The stupidity of passing up a close-game field goal for a 3rd time, they did not deserve that touchdown.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

That was an awfully quick whistle for forward progress

I thought it made sense. He caught the pass and immediately got knocked backward

 

[Hooper31]

Forward progress? What? That was a pick

Saw that too. Not a catch. That wasn’t an interception.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Washington keeps forgetting they are not that good.

They've played outstanding tonight, maybe shoulda taken the points a couple times but the fact is they're ahead midway thru the 4th, pressure is on Tampa Bay now

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Yeah, 9 mins left. Make it a 1 point game.

If that didn’t work you risk making it a 2-score game. Risk/reward favors kicking the FG.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

They did convert 87% of them this year

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That was an awfully quick whistle for forward progress

I thought it made sense. He caught the pass and immediately got knocked backward

And was still fighting, which is what allowed him to be stripped.

 

[sho nuff]

Was pretty clear though

They failed to obey the stats?

Last time the pressure was on at end of 1st half, they threw at Lattimore and went the field in like 35 seconds. The secondary is like a block of swiss cheese.

If you apply the standard of a reception I don’t thank that gets ruled a catch. There was no football move after the ball got there. It looked like it came loose almost immediately.

One way to look at it
They deserved it for continuing to try and press
You can't win settling for field goals all the time but I agree with you, they should have taken the points a couple times

-If they win tonight then maybe they learn from it

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Cade Otton, glad to have you back

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Go Bucky Go!!!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Bucs got some fight in them still

 

[ShamrockPride]

Run through the contact for the first down bro. Stop with this dancing ####

 

[General Malaise]

Over bettors with a glimmer of hope.....

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Y'all are way too conservative. I know "the numbers" aren't dispositive, but it is worth pointing out that the 4th down bot has rated every one of Washington's decisions as "STRONG- Go for it"

 

[fred_1_15301]

No flag lol?

 

[karl.Racki]

No flag?

 

[The Frankman]

holy crap Baker self-destructing?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

0-0

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

Washington's best defender tonight is the center-QB exchange

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Does Todd Bowles do anything besides complain like Axel Foley’s captain back in Detroit?

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Irving was extremely lucky that ball didn’t get swatted out of his hand. He was holding it way away from his body.

Just a cluster. They looked like they were gonna get an easy 6. Self-destructed.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Feels like a victory for Washington holding on a 2nd and 1 defensively on about their own 10 yd line, incredible to hold the Bucs to a FG

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Y'all are way too conservative. I know "the numbers" aren't dispositive, but it is worth pointing out that the 4th down bot has rated every one of Washington's decisions as "STRONG- Go for it"

Does the bot factor in the previous 3 plays went backwards every time they went for it? And that they haven't had a run over 3 yards all game.

 

[sho nuff]

Crazy good timing by Washington or bad by Tampa

 

[travdogg]

Foley caused WAY too much damage to the city just to take down some cigerette smugglers.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Bucs might not see the ball again, they only had like 2-3 drives this Half and one was a turnover deep in their own territory, never had the ball

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Y'all are way too conservative. I know "the numbers" aren't dispositive, but it is worth pointing out that the 4th down bot has rated every one of Washington's decisions as "STRONG- Go for it"

Yeah, well that’s just, like, 4th down bot’s opinion, maaaaaaan.

 

[sho nuff]

Had they kicked and made them all…they would be up 5 instead of 3.

Nope. Nor does it take into account that Washington has an 87% conversion rate this year.

I get the argument for kicking, but I hardly think it's an obvious call

4 times in FG range they went for it on 4th and it led to 2 TD's

If they had converted all of them, they'd be up three scores. What's your point?

 

[travdogg]

If that had been a read option Daniels might have got the 1st

 

[ShamrockPride]

Bucs season over. Defense just can't get pressure when it matters.

 

[ignatiusjreilly]

I remember when Dyami Brown was drafted the same year as Amon-Ra St. Brown and I kept getting them confused

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Redskins are holding that Vita Vea guy every play. He's a beast.

 

[travdogg]

Here comes the Bowles sell out blitzes

 

[efactor]

The runs up the middle to Robinson haven’t worked all night. Just wasting plays.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Why do I feel like this might go to OT?

 

[travdogg]

The runs up the middle to Robinson haven’t worked all night. Just wasting plays.

To be fair that one was to Ekeler

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Bucs might not see the ball again, they only had like 2-3 drives this Half and one was a turnover deep in their own territory, never had the ball

As I mentioned...Washington needs about 15 yds and they can close out the Bucs season on a game winning FG

Hold Bucs Hold!!!
They cannot allow another first down or it's gonna be lights out

 

[travdogg]

Why do I feel like this might go to OT?

I don't trust Zane Gonzalez at all

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I don't trust Zane Gonzalez at all

That’s part of it for sure.
