NFL GAME DAY DISCUSSION Sunday Week 17 Games: Jax-Indy, Sea-Car, Pit-Cle early; Bills-Eagles late; Bears-49ers SNF

Eagles have gagged some 4th quarter leads this year. Allen is capable of making bad plays. We just did not provide the opportunity to do so

 

[PatsFan2]

Vintage Allen??

 

[Gumby]

OK,, I'm gonna try it again. Allen pick incomming.

How about a 17 yard sack on 3d down instead? Can you live w that. Lol

 

[sb1]

3 wide open receivers too. Oh dear

 

[Rob0729]

This is the problem with Allen sometimes. He feels he needs to be a hero all the time and he ends up doing stupid things that cost them points.

He should have thrown the ball out of bounds rather than trying to extend the play. Could have gotten 3.

 

[GaryfromTO]

C'mon Philly out the knife in them now.

 

[FCB02062]

Philadelphia going WAY too conservative this half

 

[DC Patriots]

Hurts is killing me

 

[sb1]

Eagles pass protection is cheeks this half

 

[FCB02062]

Games far from over

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Vintage Allen??

Mahomes, Jackson, and Allen don't run around like they used to. Let's hope Maye runs very selectively to save his legs.

 

[Tunescribe]

Prairie Cows defense is playing better than it has pretty much all year. Must be the rain.

 

[Grogan14]

Allen is hurt

 

[Ununcle]

Eagles pass protection is cheeks this half

Whoever said hurts looks like crap tonight I now agree. That was pathetic.

 

[Joey007]

Begging the Eagles to get a single first down. Bills will get in the endzone eventually.

 

[BobDigital]

Every play, before the play even starts the QB should ask themselves 3 questions.

1 What do I want to gain?
2 What am I willing to settle for?
3 What must I avoid?

In this case the answers would be 1 Get a first down or more. 2 Get some yards to get a better chance on 4th down 3 Not lose yards or commit a turnover. This is typically true for all plays but not as true always...

For instance losing 5 or even 10 yards on 3rd and goal when you can afford to settle for a FG doesn't hurt you much... Kicking inside the 5 or 15... who cares? Both should be made. (In that case what you can't do is turn it over) But on a play like that where this is a 4 down situation... you need to keep in mind a sack is horrible

Same rules apply on the final play of the game when down in that case it be... 1 Make the play 2 Give someone a chance to make the play 3 keep the play alive or in the worst case toss it up.

Buffalo touchdown here. Philadelphia goes conservative three and out and Allen has it with 5 minutes to win the game

 

[Ununcle]

Allen is hurt

I feel bad for him I really do. I don't like to see injuries. Yhey should sit him.

 

[sb1]

Stop cheering for them Tom lol

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Eagles asking to lose this game 14-13, they've basically needed a field goal to ice it the whole 2nd half and they've shown no interest in doing anything but burn 2 minutes and punt.
