What's up with the Giants game? Game Center hasn't updated in like 10 minutes.

 

 

EDIT: yay, just started working again.

Is Vince Young going to put in? At this point what do you have to lose?

 

Fisher is coaching weird. Why is LenDale not getting the ball. He's not flashy but he gets 2-4 yards every carry. CJ gets 0 yards or 10 yards every carry. They need to go back to what they did last year. Pound it with LenDale and then change it up with CJ.

derek anderson still has some of that potion that makes him competent against the bengals and suck against everyone else.

lol this was Dick Stockton's call on Addai's TD

 

Addai ... AdDAI! ... ADDAI! ... with a touchdown!

 

He said Addai when he got the handoff, then when he broke free, then again when he crossed the goal line.

Mike Sims-Walker has 25 fantasy points today, are you [expletive] kidding me?

 

Yeah I'm playing my nephew who is starting him. I was happy to see him starting when I was watching pregame. Not too happy about it now.

I agree with you at this point on Vince. Might as well go with Vince and see what he can do this year in preparation for next year.

 

As for going more with LenDale, Fisher still apparently thinks we can win this. If that's the case, getting 2-4 yards a carry won't get us 27 points in a half. We need the big play and that comes from CJ.

Yeah the LenDale comment was more about for the future. LenDale has like 25 carries all season.

I've been wanting more LenDale too to start games, but we've been in too many holes to really use him consistently this season.

Yep, he looks to be the difference in one of my leagues... :banghead:

Am I crazy for wondering why Mangini punted rather than attempt a 57 yard field goal with under 20 seconds left to try to win the game?

At 0-4 it's time for Vince. Fisher may not want to do it, but only one team in NFL history has come from 0-4 and made the playoffs and we sure didn't look like a playoff team today.

You have gotten down early but if its still early in the game you should still go with what works best. Just because you are down 10-14 points in the first half doesn't mean you should abandon what you game planned to do because you thought it was the best way to move the ball. I've never understood that. Sure in the 4th quarter start passing because you need to score fast but don't do that in the first half. Use LenDale to wear down the defense some.

If the defense were playing well and there was any thought we could slow down their offense, I'd agree with you. But if we're down 10 and it takes us 8 minutes to drive down and score and then we can't stop them, we're not gaining any ground plus we're shortening a game that we're trailing.

If your defense can't stop them they can't stop them so even if you score in 2 minutes instead of 6 minutes you still aren't gaining ground. A defense that gets to rest though is more likely to stop the opposing team.

 

As far as shortening the game. You're down a couple scores and you have a full half left. You don't need to score quick you just need to score. Not saying it would have made a difference today. It is more a general observation for all teams. Why abandon what works best for your offense in teh first half when you are down a couple scores?
