The Key Play - 10/09/19 01:48 PM
I know most don't wish me to post my What I saw thread late in the week...so I am retiring that thread which was up every game since 2001.
But early or late I will post this new thread. "The Key Play"
Everyone has their opinion to what they believe was the key play in this game and every game for that matter.
For me in this loss to the 49ers it was 3:47 left in the first half. We made an INT and then drove the ball to the 7 yard line with Goal to Go.
The score was 14-3 at the time Baker dropped back and there was a clear out play set up for Coleman. It worked as there was daylight Baker threw the ball low where Calloway could catch it on a dive and roll into the endzone for the TD making the score 14-10 probably going into the half.
Calloway went down and the ball bounced off his chest and then he brought his hands up to try and catch the ball but only to tip it up for the 49ers to INT and make a decent return putting them in a position to score on a drive. 21-3 at the half!
In my eyes it was game over at this point we tried to come back but we were quickly in a position to have to pass. Having to pass our OL as I tried to advise all prior to the season as the HYPE was on for us to win and win big. I stated then and was told I was just making EXCUSES for Baker just in case he did bad...no no no. I don't make excuses, I make football observations. Outside of Tretter and Bitonio our OL was Suspect and we keep continuing to call long developing plays and our QB gets killed. Baker is a tough kid but I don't wish to see us damage our Franchise QB. But this game has always been about the trenches. OL and D front 7 is so so key. We got the Defense...we however do not have the OL.
So please discuss this key play of the game. And please feel free to post your opinion on what play was key for you!
Thanks dawgs. I've been in and out of the Hospital and went back to work for the first time since Sept 2016. just no time to post - oh btw we still are in it to win our Division!
btw, thanks for the correction on Coleman...
