vmax Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 Never heard or seen anything like this in the NFL. A guess: Maybe Lamar has post Covid brain fog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the running back goes to Watt instead of waiting for him, maybe Lamar throws a better pass. Either way, the play was there to be made and he failed. I counted this and the next 3 as loses, so.... In a 1 play game the ball cannot be in Lamars hands. Go for the possession in ot and try for the td. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 "If ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas." no it still would have been a bad call. Yrs ago in a similar move I agreed with harbs and it didn't work. With how poorly Lamar is playing in addition to his poor 2 pt conversion rate it's a bad move. Play for othope for the ball and go for the td. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I told my wife when that call was made that it was gutsy and I would have kicked the PAT at that time. However, I didn't know about Humphrey being injured. The defense had given up 17 points in a short period of time so it might all have come down to a coin toss. Therefore, in hindsight, Harbs made the right call. It just wasn't executed to the level needed to win the game. So I don't blame Harbs at all for that now.

papasmurfbell Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 The ravens rolled down the field in a min and a half. There is no reason not to think it couldn't happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Some food for thought, Mahomes, "the greatest qb to ever play the game", had another sub par day. 52% completion, only 184 yards, 0 tds, 1 pick (bounced off a receivers hands) Now we know he is just slumping, right? Maybe this, he, & Lamar, being very young, are just going through growing pains. Josh Allen, another "greatest qb ever" has also had bad games this year. Are we seeing a trend? Post covid hang over?

The Steelers did as well, if they win the coin toss, being down yet another starter in the 2ndary, you honestly think the defense would stop the Steelers from scoring a touchdown?

I am fine with that. But I would rather have the 50 50 shot at possession than a less than 50% shot at the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Allen looked "real good" last night..lol You might be on to something, but post covid has nothing to do with it. Defenses have figured these guys out. It took teams 4 years to figure out Lamar and Mahomes. So our issue is the offense either coaching or Lamar have to recognize when teams line up in the 0 Blitz. No one on the offense picks it up. As far as going for the win in Pitt, we just pushed up the outcome a few minutes, we were not stopping Pitt with our depleted D. Lamar needs to work on touch more than anything. It was the correct call just failed execution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, earlier this season, all of his past games while he struggled with accuracy outside the numbers, especially down field, he always seemed to find the open man; thus his gaudy passing & rushing stats. Lately, however, since his 2nd covid and subsequent "food poisoning" incident, he can't even find the open man. As pointed out in the Steelers game, numerous times he had wide open players right in front of him, down the middle, no one around, down field too boot yet even with plenty of time never saw a 6-3 250 lb man jumping, waiving his arms... Something is odd, this has gone on what, 3,4 games now? It's not just defenses blitzing off the edge or playing match up zone, condensing the pocket, he is just not seeing the field. As he said him self, he playing like a rookie, zone reads for hamd offs included... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
