Hard to complain about much, but pretty disappointed with what we’ve seen from Golden. Invisible in Week 1 and followed it up with a goose egg even with Reed sidelined. Not ideal.
I don’t know if their faith in their coverage unit is just completely shot as others said, but they are going to have to figure it out. You can’t just concede a 65 yard field all season.
See now here I would have done exactly what they did and kicked it. Not that they were likely to come back from 2 possessions but 3 makes it pretty much academic.
Kicking it into the endzone when touchbacks start at the 35 twice in a game when you almost never used to do it when touchbacks came out to the 25 is… interesting.
I love that when the Commanders finally got something going and we needed to answer, we did so immediately. That’s something we wouldn’t have seen in previous seasons.
That sure seems like the doomsday scenario to think that an offense that has barely moved the ball all game is going to drive 96 yards, get the ball back, and drive all the way down the field again all within 5 minutes.
I don’t agree (25 yards of field position in and of itself is worth about 1 expected point). but I do understand taking into consideration the pace and what the opposing offense is doing.
They almost certainly wouldn’t tie anyway. They’d likely go for a 2 on one of the possessions like most teams these days.
Have to agree to disagree. I’m almost equally fine being up 14-3 with them having the ball on their own 4 as I am being up 17-3 with them having the ball on their 30, especially for an extra shot at 21-3.
