Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Ravens @ Pats

[Ras-IR Dowling]

No way. That gave us a first down.

They might have. They could’ve been conceding that we would get the first on either 2nd or 3rd. By going offsides they reset the down sequence and have 2 TOs (including the 2min) to get the ball back with a little more than a min left.

Can they decline the pre snap offsides if the play doesn't run? I defiinitely would have considered that

Why? It doesn’t help to decline Does it?

 

[Bradybranch]

I think that offsides was on purpose, instead of 2-3, it’s 1-10 and no time came off the clock

The clock was already stopped with the TO

 

[woolster22]

Did they get rid of the vrabel delay of game loophole or can we start taking bets on if harbawl cries about it being dirty postgame?

 

[XLIX]

No way. That gave us a first down.

The reasoning is on defense you're better off defending 1st and 10 than 2nd and 1 when time is short. I agree with those saying it was on purpose.

They are out of timeouts.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Big 3rd down and 7. Josh will run right?

I would think run and take a delay of game. After we punt Baltimore will have to go 80+ yards in about 1:05 and no timeouts in a storm. Will take those odds everytime

This. If you assume we will pick up 3 yards with two downs, then it's better just to give us the first down and conserve clock for it and then try to stop us with timeouts.

 

[203Pat]

Weak

 

[DaBruinz]

ANOTHER f'in horrible play call..

 

[ScottishPatriots]

That's the correct call you have to take the 40 seconds off, if your defense can't stop them in this weather from scoring a TD then you blow.

 

[BobDigital]

That first down may be bad. 2 tried to gain short yardage. More likely to gain that than a fresh set out downs. Depending on the situation, declining may have been better.

 

[Foxypats]

what crappy play calling was that

 

[203Pat]

Need a good one here Bailey.

 

[doesntmatter1]

the anxiety omg

 

[Free_Pacman]

Throw the ball.

 

[Jlaff]

Man, knew it would be a QB run.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

Come on D. This guy cannot score in 1:20. Just play it smart.

Burns too much time off the clock. Now they only have one minute and zero timeouts.

 

[203Pat]

Ughhhhhhhhhh I’m nervous.
