PhantomSac Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Green Bay completes 2 passes over the middle. NO TIMEOUT CALLED. NOT ONE LOL. Clock runs. Rodgers runs out of bounds with 35 seconds left, still has 3 timeouts left. Why not call them earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Another LOL @ McCarthy not calling timeout when seattle completed a pass. With 3 timeouts. Luckily Lynch scored instantly so it didn't matter but still shows another one of his great skills, clock management in the endgame.And then he calls a timeout to kick a field goal with 19 seconds left, instead of waiting until the clock is down to 4...

mgoetze Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 If GB loses McCarthy would probably get fired on the spot if they had an owner... Wonder how much the odds for "Pats to win the SB" have moved during this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Wonder how much the odds for "Pats to win the SB" have moved during this game. Very little I'd imagine, given that Seattle won. Probably if it moved it is because they will definitely be facing Seattle so they are less likely to win than when they had a shot to be playing GB. The market is not going to move against a team when the best team in the league gives up 5 turnovers and wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Seahawks have been pretending they can't throw the ball all season just so they could fool GB in overtime. GG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well everyone will always attribute certain things to made up narratives. The narrative on this will probably be how clutch Wilson is even though he played terribly and shat the bed and then reverted to his normal play at the end, which people will see as "clutch."

mgoetze Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nice stat FOX: Last QB to win a playoff game with 4+ INTs: George Blanda, Oilers vs. Chargers, 1961. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted January 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Speaking of 1961, Patriots have 3 WRs and 5 RBs active for this game. Gonna stomp the Colts into the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, well their main/best receiver is a TE, and another of their best receivers is a RB so I think they'll be doing some passing even though that's pretty funny :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbradley62 Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 So, do we take Brady out for the final 10 minutes? Not related to not running up the score, but to protect the 37yo QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Brady, Edelman, Gronk, Revis, none of them should be playing anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should do, but it's always been a Belichick thing to run up the score/"play hard for the entire game." As he is the greatest coach ever I will blindly believe that the benefits of this outweigh the small chance of injury, since it's impossible to quantify the gain. Unlike in game playcalling/timeout usage/4th down decisions, it is a lot harder to understand the gains of these kinds of things on a team and their discipline.
