No. The point is to score as many points as you can. 55 seconds is not a lot of time, I dont care how many time outs you have.. They had 2 big plays that ate up chunks of yds and that should have not happened. You don't coach to lose, you coach to win. That is what Gruden did.
Some people? Like whom, may I ask? Our resident (seems to be) Steelers self proclaimed expert? Oh, that's right. He did predict 3 wins for us.
Dean, do your favorite thing. I challenge you to find one qualified football mind that has an issue with that call and agrees with you (not some poster on this site or a blogger who has never played the game). If you do, I will reconsider my position.
TOP 5 GRADES:
TE Vernon Davis, 88.6 overall grade
QB Kirk Cousins, 87.2 overall grade
CB Quinton Dunbar, 86.4 overall grade
DI Matt Ioannidis, 84.9 overall grade
DI Jonathan Allen, 82.9 overall grade
PERFORMANCES OF NOTE:
QB KIRK COUSINS, 87.2 OVERALL GRADE
It was a slow start for Cousins, even with the success of the opening drive. He under-threw the touchdown to Terrelle Pryor, and was lucky that Pryor was able to get away with that slight push to prevent the throw from being defensed. But after that Cousins was fantastic. He looked deep (20-plus yards in air) five times and completed three of them for 133 yards and the touchdown. And he should have got a completion and touchdown on a perfectly thrown strike to Josh Doctson late in the game as well. Perhaps most impressively, Cousins had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when he was faced with a blitz.
TE VERNON DAVIS, 88.6 OVERALL GRADE
Even at the age of 33, Davis is still a tough cover for any linebacker. He proved that when the Chiefs inexplicably asked Justin Houston to cover him one-on-one, which predictably ended with a massive gain of 69 yards. But Davis added another catch for 20 yards as well and was actually solid when run blocking, something he has struggled with in the past. Davis finished with an impressive 85.6 run-blocking grade.
CB QUINTON DUNBAR, 86.4 OVERALL GRADE
The third-year cornerback was called into duty as the injuries piled up in the secondary. He performed admirably with a coverage grade of 86.3, he was targeted five times, only surrendering three catches for 14 yards. Dunbar will likely be tasked with more playing time in the coming weeks, as it was reported in game that CB Josh Norman could miss time.
DI MATT IOANNIDIS, 84.9 OVERALL GRADE
Ioannidis led the Redskins defense with 6 pressures on a night where they accumulated many against Kansas City. That gives Ioannidis 15 total pressures in his last three games. Ioannidis ended the game with a pass-rush productivity (PRP) of 17.0, which puts him among the elite at his defensive end position and only behind Aaron Donald’s 19.9 this week.
Yea,, but as I have said before... you live here. YOu can pick on the little brother (aka The redskins). So while we disagree, I know your heart is in the right place.. most of the times.
But when people not of the family come in calling for 3 win or worse seasons, we are honor bound to tell then politely fuck off.
Yup. I also love how when you prove him wrong using his own beloved stats, he just changes the narrative. Sound familiar? My guess is the Steelers board ran him out of there and he is looking for a place to land.
