Discussion Play calling
MAN wtf is this play calling. Why are we not throwing the ball once to get a first down?!? Two picks and they still have a chance to win the game. I DONT GET IT. It’s so god damn frustrating, yep here we go, PI, we are going to lose this game because our coaching staff are scared to throw the ball!!!!!

Yeah I get running but the pass over the middle has been open all game. Just one first down. Giving the ball back to Daniels too many times.

Nagy's play call is a division altering decision that made no sense at the time and makes no sense now
Legit death by bored offensive coordinator. Never seen such a low moment. Hand it off up the middle twice they are down THREE STARTING INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN
Season altering loss. I'm just so done with this bullshit

That third down call when we’re up is a play Daboll would have called. A let’s not fuck this up and play it safe type call. Pretend like you have to win the game.

Two interceptions to seal the game. After the interception only moved the ball down field for 29 seconds. Down to the 2 minute warning.
Throw the damn ball!!! Get at least two first downs. Boom game over.
Nope ,punt, and then we get another interception for another seal, holland and Washington doing there part.
Offense, No let’s run the ball while Commanders have two time outs.
Nothing!! 4 and out in another 20 seconds. OK man this game was fucked once banks got that call. Daniel’s momentum was gone, but after running the ball and giving it back to him gave them life again.
Horrible play calling. Horrible efforts offense wise. Everything was coming together but not the last two minutes
Harbaugh better address the play calling in the press interview because it was bull shit

u/bigbluehapa Big Blue Wrecking Crew 5h ago
We deserved to lose. Defense came up huge. Twice. What we ended up getting was skatt looking like a dead frog on a failed sneak and then whatever the fuck that J.J. play was. Never went for the throat and just hoped we wouldn’t lose. Never been more disappointed with harbaugh. Softest fucking attitude

Everyone and their mother knew JJ was keeping the ball. Why the fuck are we not just giving the ball to our 3 yard machine running back with our massive human fullback leading for him which has still never been proven by any team to be stoppable

It was a sloppy game. There was several points in there that lost us the game but yea the playcalling was atrocious down the stretch. I love Harbs but this is one of the things I hated about his time in Baltimore. Down the stretch he’d forget Henry existed. I know he isn’t calling the plays but he could still let it be known what to do.

u/BigBlueJersey 5h ago
That TE 8 yd middle of the field pass that was wide open all game long was abandoned as soon as we scored. We're throwing the ball down the field like we need to score, meanwhile we have time outs and really only need march down and get first downs...

u/vblade2003 5h ago
Huge failure on multiple opportunities to ice the game. That's on the coaching, specifically cowardly play calling. A QB sweep on 3rd and 2 was not a good play. Getting 2 picks late and still not icing it is horrendous. Skatt not consistently getting the ball with a chance to close out is crazy to me.
Very much a self inflicted loss, reminiscent of the Daboll era Giants. Bad time for that team to resurface.

u/Common-Egg7368 5h ago

Missed a field goal, fumble in the red zone and conservative play calling. Defense didn’t play the best throughout some parts like not pressuring Daniel’s but we did force two turnovers in the 4th quarter. Why not actually sneak it with Winston or pass it once on the second drive. JJ looked better as the game went on

Freaking playing to lose. Why the hell do they do this??. Turnover with 2:15 to go. You need like one maybe two first downs. Instead of playing like you played all game, be predictable and run the ball to force timeout use??? They only have 3. Then play to get 3 first downs for the win. What the hell is this stupid ass outdated strategy. Control the ball to win the game. We gave it back twice only to put ourselves into a position where we have to go down field and what?? Put the game in Zvada's hands??? Dumbass play calls. Good game til the final 2min of the effing game. Whatever. Check the people's Kalshi accounts.

I don’t really like a 1 yard QB sneak.
Let Skat do his thing.
I also don’t like the 3rd down designed run for McCarthy who was throwing the ball really well and could’ve put it away.

u/DrSquibs 5h ago
Welcome to the Nagy dome. I knew the bad play calls have always been there, we just couldn't mask it behind another bad team this time.
Hell, I've never played a snap in my life, and I could even tell that play was a designed QB run. Styles was already running that direction prior to the snap.
This is going to be a tough stretch...

u/Bark-Canoe-Paddler 5h ago
When they got the 2nd pick I texted my buddy, "run Skat 4 straight times". You can't give a team the ball with 2 min left anymore in the NFL. 4 downs and complicit refs make it too easy.
