So you were ok losing a yard on 3rd down instead of going for the win?  To me...too much time left. Would still be a minute left... I prefer giving both units a chance to win the game.  Now if it going to run the clock down to where they had like 20 seconds...go ahead.  Run and kick to go up 6 there.  

There wasn’t a need to kick, run the ball kill the clock. If you want to throw…do it on fourth down when the clock would stop anyway.

Why did Siri decline the penalty on the Falcons there near the end in the first place?

You could even just see the dumb look on the Oline faces after they charged upfield for no reason. Just didn’t even make sense.

The OL is under the assumption it will be a run play they block as if it is a run when the NFL only allows for 1 yard makes it tough on the OL

especially hearing where Kelce wasn't a fan of motion.  

Don’t recall hearing Kelce say this at all do recall him saying he isn’t fond of the RPOs because of what it does to the OL

Of course…catch the pass. But the whole point of coaching is making the decisions based on if it works…and if it doesn’t. The clock was more the opponent than the score at that point. Run the ball…killing the clock. Could have iced the game in the ground even.

Siri said in the same interview....if Barkley was covered that Hurts would have taken a short sack and the clock would have kept running. 

Your boy as each QB should...had the decision in his hands... and IMO he made the correct one and a beautiful pass.  

I agree 💯 with the concept... vs 9 in the box, a run wasn’t going to work, run  play outside that if it's there,you take it... otherwise have the QB go down to keep the clock moving. 

Part of the reason I believe Hurts felt the need to speak...he ultimately made the decision trusting Barkley... it didn't work, and he knows the coach is going to take all the crap for it. 

Ultimately could be good for the team as far as locker room etc... but still need on the field stuff to be corrected. 

He’s just a CEO coach that doesn’t need to speak after the game because his player leader did it for him. A CEO coach there not for the D,O or ST…just to make decisions. He’s been making bad decisions. So the whole idea is pretty stupid.

Everybody knows these facts. So you run block and engage…but no need to go downfield. This is known.

But you were up 3... the need was to force them to go the length of the field.  Otherwise they just need some yards for a FG.?

Yes because if your an OL your thinking of 1 yard on a run play lol…. Come on you sound stupid what do you want the OL to do oh i can’t block nobody let me just sit here doing nothing no you go block someone 

If the ball is handed off and Jurguens is 5 yards down field hitting a LB that hole likely pretty damn huge then nobody is complaining when that happens on the RPO

Was it further  if we turned it over on downs? Or after we kicked it into the Endzone?

Because we needed 2 first downs to win the game.  You decline because the tush push was going to get you the first one anyway.  Now you only need one more and game over.

Ok.... Elliot kicks a 28 yard FG to go up 6.

Are you saying that you would prefer only being up 3... with ATL starting on their 13....  vs being up 6... with ATL starting on their 30?

 

"The way we’ve handled it in the past is by having a tag that tells the linemen not to go downfield right away. You kinda just shuffle and sit on the double teams and wait for a second before climbing. Downside of that is that if it gets handed off you don’t get much movement as a result.”

Quote right from Kelce and the same fans that want guys to shuffle and sit will be the same ones complaining about our run blocking

So you understand …as well as the CEO coach understood making them use TOs and kill clock was everything the series just before he did the opposite. Decline the penalty. Force them to use a TO on the third down we’d convert. So they didn’t have enough TOs. Then knowing we’ll run we still kept pick up solid yardage. Third  down convert…TO. First down run…TO. Second down run ….TO. Now they’re out of TOs…the whole goal of declining the penalty. So third down run it….the clock couldn’t be stopped. Maybe even iced the game right there on the ground the way things were going.

And your boy decided to pass instead of killing the clock...because he saw it open. 

Another telling thing about the play... follow Goedert... your boy didn't even look at him,  which shows he was locked in on just Barkley...the easier play.. going for the win.  His 2nd option would have been to run and kill the clock.   

Your boy made his decision... best QB in franchise history should have that responsibility... and it seems like I'm the one backing him and your not?  It's ironic.

The play was run the ball and wind the clock. Not what was called. Unless you are suggesting Hurts just begins a mutiny on our HC week two.

The CEO decisions aren’t of quality…that’s proven.

His only job is to make these decisions this year. Earned that job by week 18 last season not having the team ready to play …AT ALL. Then risked his top players on the most injury prone field league wide. Resulted in AJ getting injured. Hurts getting injured. Sidney still isn’t back from his injury that day. Brilliant! He’s qualified to sell drinks on the Titanic…is about it.

Hurts was given the play... where if Barkley was covered...he was not going to throw the ball away...he was going to run and take a short sack if needed.   

It was a safe play... he made the correct decision.  He said he would do it again... took ownership of the decision and apparently the INT at the end that wasn't necessary.   

That's why Siri didn't want to add anything after the game.   They all know what's up.   He said similar to the Jalen Carter situation ... " we keep those things in house"

The Jalen Carter situation being why was he being disciplined and not starting the game?

Not the right playcall. A real CEO coach would have made it very clear to Mooore…we are running the ball on third down. Going for it on fourth down if we don’t make it.
