Also think with all the WR injuries not having Edmonds hurt us, I think Conner was the only RB who played so we didn't have that run or catch threat RB on 3rd down that Chase gave us. We were playing 3 or 4 WR's and that's why Kyler was getting so much pressure the only run threat was Kyler
I thought they brought in Williams to fill that role who had a great year receiving from the backfield with the Chiefs last year. Didn't they?

I think it was actually a great play call and good execution, just really unlucky that Dortch lost his footing going through the traffic. Kyler was waiting for Dortch to regain his balance and looked back but the past rush came which left him with no time. One thing that could have saved the play was if Conner have kept running forward after seeing Kyler start to scramble. But it's season-opening so their mind is probably not there yet. Dortch had a similar play earlier that he did not extend the route to give the scrambled Kyler a throwing lane.

Yes, Dortch got open if he doesn't slip.

What I didn't like was that that seemed like it. Looked like no option 2,or at least not one that Kyler knew. After he saw Dortch slip it seemed to be "Oh err what now?"

You’re right. But look what happens when you pass on the opportunity and your opposition doesn’t . . . 6 more points in the hole. Your “if’s” don’t count. The actual 3-6 point swing does.
A FG would’ve taken it from a two possession game to a two possession game. We’re not playing the Jaguars.

Right play call, poor execution IMO.

Watch it again. That’s a TD all the way if he doesn’t stumble.
He did stumble - they often stumble ! We ran on one drive and scored - we don’t often run - we often go 3 and out !
the field goal was solid football decision. Passing another down didn’t work, just trying to look at reality instead losing football coaching decisions.

our high risk bs catches up

Almost the exact same lineup that started last season 7-0

What changed??

#Birdcity.

Blame it all on the horrendously ****** hashtag

Marketing department ruined our season before it even started

Nope. Off a turnover you want to keep momentum. We gave it right back to them.

Does the IF of a guaranteed FG apply here?

No reason to leave the pocket. The initial rush was busted. Murray could have burned them but panicked

Kind of funny how all the insurance salesman can play all the preseason games and be pretty much a penalty free for the most part… But all the guys that make the big money all they do is make mistakes
