Yeah, I think that might be a better way of using Taysom Hill than taking the ball out of the NFL record thrower's hands.

Big drive. Needed that after the end to the first half.

Taysom Hill pro day number where really good, like comparable to some dude named Adrian Peterson. Says more about his athletic ability then his QB ability though

Haven't seen that many yards after catching until just then for the Rams

That's a terrible no call.

Yup they're underrated in my opinion. May not have the best numbers but can be counted on when needed to step up.

Getting Eli Apple helped. They did the same last season too

Also Gurley seems hurt or something, it very weird he not been in lately

Running on 2 and 20 is such a loser call. C'mon Sean, man, that's giving them the ball back.

LiverLuke · « **Reply #51491 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:41:46 pm »

do you think payton should stop taking the ball out of one of the greatest ever QBs hands in one of their biggest games of all time?

Ray K · « **Reply #51492 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:44:25 pm »

That's an insane call. Sean McVay has lost his damn mind.

i can't believe mcvay didn't go for that. Bottled it for him.

they've been getting stops. I understand it.

Kicking. An absolute no-brainer to go for it there.

That’s a tough call, could have gone either way.

Can I ask why? Granted had they scored a 4 point lead would be very handy but is he gambling on OT?

Or if the Saints score on this drive are they going to run out of time to level up again?

newterp · « **Reply #51500 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:48:56 pm »

Yeah - I disagree. Going for 3 was completely fine.

Saints are going to try and score with as little time left as possible

half a yard most nfl teams should comfortably manage to get it in. they're a running football team and mcvay is known for going for it on 4th down. half a yard to up 4 points in such an important game? i'd say fortune normally favours the bold.

The goal is to maximise the points when attacking. A 4th and a foot has a ~70% chance of scoring a TD, especially given their offense. 70% of 7 pts is bigger than the 3 for a FG.
Plus if they're stopped it's an incredibly tough field position for the Saints, so the Rams would expect to get the ball back around midfield. Now the Saints have time and good position.

newterp · « **Reply #51504 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:52:59 pm »

Wow!! Worst defense ever

Just knock the ball down

And now the game is over. Good job, McVay.

Fuck it, kick it on 3rd down if the goal is to tie it up.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #51507 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:53:05 pm »

Oh yes, Brees delivers!

Zend...en the clowns · « **Reply #51508 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:53:27 pm »

Wow. What a catch by Ginn.

Rams will be sick at that half a yard and goal field goal call.

The flip side of that though is that if the Rams manage to stop the Saints here they can eat up time and get the win. Whereas had they been stopped from scoring they would still have to stop the Saints and score a touchdown to win, whereas now a field goal does the job.

Never mind the Saints aren’t going to be stopped. That defense ...

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #51510 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:53:44 pm »

What a ballsy throw. Should never be able to complete that.

Probably got more yards than they wanted!

classycarra · « **Reply #51511 on:** January 20, 2019, 10:53:47 pm »

Great catch. And a post-NFL career in lapdancing surely awaits if he fancies it too
