The game’s demise begun when Getsy called a draw on 3rd-and-7, and settled for the field goal. The rest was just theatre playing out.
If you get a 1st there, you dramatically kill the clock. If you get a TD it’s game over. I’m not against pushing it from a 9pt lead to 12, that’s smart enough. But take the field goal if you must, don’t lose all aggression when you have the game in hand.
A perfect exhibition of why these coaches need to go, and you get yourself a Mcdaniels, a Shanahan, a Mcvay, a Sirianni. Somebody with a damn pulse and football IQ.
They either are too stupid to understand the value of going for a TD there, too scared, or don’t trust Fields with the ball in such a situation. All of them are loser decisions, and Fields has shown much more than these coaches ever have. I personally hope he outlasts them, long as a shot that is
But another part of me wants to pull Fields aside like Ben Afleck did Damon in Good Will, and tell him to get the fuck outta here someday or I’ll kill him. It’s fine for me, but that kid’s got talent being drowned by a dysfunctional organization
