Re: Giants part 1 Dumpster Fire postgame

Ok maybe you're right. Maybe he's tanking. He went for two and ordered the offense to stay out of the end zone. Or maybe it was a secret handshake between he and Kyle...or a wink...

I'm not buying it. I'll give you the timeout usage in the one score games. I don't understand that. But I don't think he's deliberately trying not to win. If the play had worked it would be a different tune in here. Sometimes the other team just executes better.

I'm not saying he did that. I'm saying he made a choice that didn't give us the best likelihood of winning. By quite a large margin.

If I quote you, that means I am speaking to you. If I do not quote you, that means I am just speaking in general. Someone on here said he told Kyle Allen not to score. I'm not going to go back through the posts to see who it was.

My point is simply that I believe he thought they could get the two yards and win the game. It's one of those decisions that is great if it works, and not so great if it doesn't.

Fair enough, he thought they could. And they could, not gonna say there was a 0% chance of getting this.

But do you think any team whose season truly matters and is legitimately making a push for their division makes the same choice in the same situation ?

(And I was yelling at my TV the second I saw him signal for 2, this is not an in hindsight opinion. )

Haha, and after they scored the TD, I told my son they should just just go for two.
