I'm simply looking at the situation as a good idea vs bad idea, would you be on here ranting about the "horrible" play calling if it worked?, NOPE. You've got sour grapes the size of basketballs stuck in you're mouth, spit 'em out before you look like a pro-grade winier.
Couldn't be further from the truth. Butch is a Pats fan. You're being salty because everyone has called you out for being wrong.Bills fan I take it? (whining pathetically WOULD be par for THAT course!)

Gettleman drafting Saquon at #2 was a terrible choice. He's a player you draft in today's league if you think you are close to making it to the big game, we needed to draft a QB of the future to groom under Eli that year, or if not trade down or get a top O-Lineman. I mean you couldn't predict Saquon's injuries, but even when he plays he just dances too much half the time. It was a big whiff at the #2 draft position.
I prefer that house to remain dirty.Absolutely correct... and while I do agree that it was impossible to predict Saquon's specific injuries like that ankle, its easy to predict a running back getting banged up on a team with a crappy/weak O-line.
IMO the MOMENT Barkley is healthy the Giants need to trade him before he's worth literally nothing but a huge cap-hit NY can't afford.
I've said it before and I'll say it again now Gettleman has been a disaster top to bottom... time for the Giants to CLEAN HOUSE.
I prefer that house to remain dirty.
The players after Saquon at least good, including a couple QBs. #rubinthesalt
You have a better chance of dumping him in Philly and even they have Miles Sanders. Gibson is a raw prodigy at the position and Mckissic can handle the third down role just fine....And who could blame you...?
I doubt the Giants would ever trade Barkley in the division but you never know with the rocket-scientist's currently running things... maybe he'll end up on WFT!
*(that way he can bork YOUR teams payroll while sitting on the sidelines injured for the next few seasons!)
The sad thing is that it's been known for a while that you just don't use a high draft pick on a stud RB anymore, because you can still get a good tailback a couple rounds later. Even if Saquon Barkley had actually lived up to the hype, it wouldn't have been worth a #2 overall. IIRC Bill Belichick selected a RB in the first round (near the bottom) just once ever, and that's indicative of what most GMs think about drafting the position these days. RB average careers are too short, and you'll rarely end up with a LaDanian Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson.Gettleman drafting Saquon at #2 was a terrible choice.

And the Giants literally could have had Nick Chubb instead, being one pick ahead of Cleveland in the 2nd round. And Chubb is an utter freak.The sad thing is that it's been known for a while that you just don't use a high draft pick on a stud RB anymore, because you can still get a good tailback a couple rounds later.

For BB, it was Sony Michel in 2018 and he lasted just 3 seasons in NE.
Wow, you're not just salty, you're really salty.Wow ... I would have understood a Bills fan getting defensive about his team blowing the game. (might even have empathized) Now its just douche-baggery.
So... losing the game = winning now or something like that?
Should we give Allen/Buffalo a "participation trophy" for trying REALLY hard?
In that particular moment in that particular matchup I would have made the CORRECT call but I'm "wrong" somehow ??
You guys are special!
Sorta makes sense now why this NFL thread is pretty much dead when the best "defense" of an argument you can scare up is to rationalize a blown play by making excuses. (just like the Daniel Jones apologists... face it ... he sucks!)
I'll pass on any further comment re this play. Doesn't rate it. The ONLY way to prove me wrong is ON THE FIELD. Anything else is just noise.
In this thread, I've learned Captante thinks Aaron Rodgers is "very over-rated," that it's OK his franchise's greatest player is a statutory rapist because they won the 1987 Super Bowl, and that his hindsight is 20/20.Wow, you're not just salty, you're really salty.

So you're Captantecula: Wrong and Loving It.Took you long enough.... get with the program!
So you're Captantecula:Wrong and Loving It.OBVIOUSLY RIGHT BUT TIRED OF POINTLESS DEBATE...
Being salty just looks dumb when your questioning the ability of a guy like Allen to get 6 inches on a sneak, Brady, who's nowhere near as physical as Allen, has used the QB sneak for ages and he's better than 95% on it and usually for longer distances. Allen's foot failed to plant or he uses those strong leg muscles and gets the 1st.Wow, you're not just salty, you're really salty.

Wow, Titans are now up 27-3 on the Chief's and it's early 4rd Qtr.
The D has always been a ? and the Titans offense are really finding their stride right now, they are only now starting to utilize Jones and this team might get scary, specially playing at home.You clearly care a whole lot more about this "issue" then I do! Get it out of your system and lets move on to todays stomach-churning drama!
That's the spirit!
Momentum after last week!
(Also wth is wrong with the Chiefs?)

So what happened with Green Bay? They sucked during preseason but seem alright now.
They got smoked early in the season and Rodgers was very outspoken about the apparent lack of effort and ever since have been playing very well.So what happened with Green Bay? They sucked during preseason but seem alright now.
Can't see them winning with that crappy of a D, teams will just run the ball a lot and keep it away from the offense.Since winning the SB Mahome's and company seem to me to be "coasting" or something like that. Even in their championship year it seemed as if they felt like they could "turn it on" at will which is very dangerous in the NFL no matter who you are. (all the injuries certainly have not helped)
I would give the Titans an outside chance of winning the AFC right now. Despite the end of the game last week I still think the Bills and the Ravens are the teams to beat though. I don't fully trust the Bengals.
