NFL Week 11 -- No Walk Through Orchard Park

I’m a Quinn guy but WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK???!!??

 

Washington can worry about something else for a few days [/crossthread]

 

Saquon Barkley? Charles Barkley could have run through that hole.

 

I still can't get over Quinn's decision to go for it on 4th and 2. Eight minutes left, down 12-10. You have to take the points there. Just have to. Your defense had been playing well all night. Elliott was a train wreck. Maybe the outcome doesn't change, but there's a huge difference between kicking off with a 13-12 lead and the Eagles' playing off the momentum of a fourth-down stop. Just a dumb, dumb call. I feel completely different if the ball is at the 40, but at the 26, you take the points.

 

Was Quinn spooked. by the Eagles' kicker's struggles? Were conditions bad for kickers? I didn't see the game so I don't know.

 

I don't think the conditions were bad. Elliott was yanking everything left all night. Not sure if it was operational breakdown or just a case of the shanks.

Either way, 10 days off, home games against Dallas and Tennessee upcoming. I'm not worried unless Washington drops one of those two. This was by far the hardest stretch of the year, having to play the Steelers and Eagles in a span of four days.

 

Maybe he doesn't trust his kicker. I doubt it would have changed the outcome, but in the moment, it seemed like a bad decision. I didn't love the play call, either.

 

I just read the boxscore and some of the play by play of the game. If your defense gives up almost 230 yards rushing, game management decisions, good or bad, are kind of moot.
