Kyle Shanahan don't need to know no stinking OT rules. Mario CRYSTALBALL is still unreal dumb - Page 879 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Who is worse: McVay leaving the starters on the field and calling 10 yard pass plays with no TOs down 9, 30 seconds left on his 20. Or Fat Mike, who gets 2 starters helped off the field down 32.

I mean, even the one legit reason you might consider this in NCAAF as compared to NFL (needing to inflate winning margins for ranking purposes) doesn't apply here, because if that were the case they'd be taking shots at the end zone instead of running the ball up the middle. I'd actually respect that.

They haven't done it all season. I guess this was their first one score game, but that's still head scratching. Every play creates injury risk. Why would he put his guys in harms way without any benefit?

Dude legit lost an unlosable game. Legit worse than sofa jockeys yelling at their tvs. Should go back to Oregon or whatever second rate college team he used to coach.

It does seem appropriate to remember Pete Carroll for calling a pass at the one yard line with Marshawn Lynch in the backfield.

The problem is this coach should be fired the first time he does this stupidity. Obviously the 99 or whatever percent of the time he still wins bc there is no fumble or even if there is the other team often doesn't win. But it demonstrates gross incompetence.

It's 1000 times more hilarious when they actually do lose obviously but it shouldn't have gotten to this point.

Easy to say but If I'm that QB I ignore the run play, take the snap and take a few steps back and just fall to the ground. Doesn't have to **** up a kneeldown they rarely practice or anything, just fall down with two hands on the ball.

When you know your coach is an idiot, sometimes you gotta just take control.

Bigger fear for me is an injury.

Should the Eagles fire Nick Siriani? With a 99.9% of winning he ran a qb sneak with Hurts. Eagles were up by 9 with like a minute left deep in Rams zone. That was stupid.

No one should be fired, but you only hear calls for getting fired when something bad happens. But I think it’s more a case of sloppiness/laziness than outright stupidity

Payton calling a TO so he could punt with 22 seconds left in the half was special.

Mario Cristolol called timeout with UNC on offense on 4th and 1

On the same TIMEOUT Mario Cristolol’s defensive coordinator gets called for unsportsmanlike conduct giving UNC a first down

UNC scores a td and ties the game on said drive

Why don't all NFL teams learn how to master the tush-push?

Why doesn't Sean Payton just run the tush-push every play, he has nothing to lose. I bet you could average 2.5 yds/play.

Almost every time I see a non-Eagles team try it, it works. It's not hard. Have a running back take the snap and push away.

The Giants had two players injured on an unsuccessful tush push attempt two weekends ago.

I still think the NFL is eventually going to ban it because it doesn't look good on TV.

Probably, but they will wait until the novelty wears off. Fans are talking about it, so that's good for the league at the moment.

Like CTE?

There's obviously not going to be any in-season changes. Let's see if teams want to address it in the offseason.

Eagles still had 2 times outs and jets could have only gotten it down to 55 seconds or so down 2. Doesn't seem horrendous.
