I think protecting the rookie qb with the choice to kick field goals rather than going for it in high stakes 4th downs will pay dividends in the future. That type of forethought is what makes a smart, successful head coach.

    I definitely am not against the kick. But with how good the team has been on 3rd and 4th and short since McDaniels got fired I would stay with the hot hand and go for it.

    The sweeps they have done with Carter and Turner must be in the defenses head on 4th and 1. Should make a traditional sneak easier to convert. And they don’t struggle with the tush push like some teams.

    Agree, there’s nothing wrong going up 10-0 when the best DT in the game right now is glaring at your backfield on 4th and short.

    This “playoff or rebuild from the ground up” shit is wack. We have an interim hc. We have a choice between geriatric jimmy or the rook. We have Adam’s for realistically at least one more year, and I think pierce will keep jj for another year if he gets the hc job. The playoffs are all but gone this year. Give this man at LEAST next year to prove himself. Give him a draft and a training camp. We know he won’t put up with the bullshit by him cutting Peters. Give the rook another year, we’ve seen him sling it and we’ve seen him drop dimes. He needs time to improve, and actual year of 1st team prep instead of throwing him to the wolves the week of. This core can get to the playoffs but we need time and to stop trying to take shortcuts by hiring big names in jmd, jg, mp. This team has been ass for so long I can’t believe the people who want to keep cleaning shop every fuckin year.

      I personally think the roster is a qb away from contending for a SB
