Regarding the game... i am going to give Sirianni a few breaks here
the going for 2 were the correct calls... you get the penalty, half the distance to the goal, its 1 yard away
Run the sneak, get two points is the right decision. Sometimes you get banged on variance. We could run that sneak 100 times from the 1 and we'll make it 90ish times... that you didnt get it 2 times in a row is an outlier
Also i think on the second one we got hosed on a call, Hurts got that in the end zone imo.
But the process is correct imo
The 4th and 3 early in the game, i get it, the numbers probably say go for it and the play was there and it was just a poor pass from Hurts. But i think just kick the FG. You're beating this team handily, the only way you lose the game is getting on the wrong side of weird variance and silly shit happens. Kick it and keep it moving
The one that annoys me is the 4th and inches... by all means go for it, but run the sneak, i dont care that they've stopped it 2-3 times, run it, its a play that goes at 92% effectiveness. Run it again, and i think he conceded post game that he got scared away from it... cant do that. The play call was bad but also Hurts did have the back up TE open for a first down and didnt hit him
And finally... what in the f**k is happening with the NFL? That saquon barkley fumble was down by contact. Definitively so. He was ankle tapped, hit the ground, ground forces the ball out, thats down by contact. Could not be more clear and obvious. Straight up easy call. And they confirmed the td? Unreal
I thought the call on Smith for offensive PI was a bit bullshit too, not much in that.
All in all, this is the sort of game that if things didnt go against us so much in terms of variance, we win this game something like 38-7.
But you get a couple of unlucky brotherly love stops, miss a FG that Jake Elliott usually bangs home, a couple of bad decisions by the HC and a horseshit call that puts 8 on the board for the Jags and suddenly an easy win is made to look hard.
