The Fake

[GatorAZ]

If Lee doesn’t sell the kick for a split second #22 doesn’t bite. Just perfect execution by the players and great timing by Kliff. Also what a game by Zeke Turner.

Imagine the reaction of this board had it failed? Live by the sword, die by the sword.

It's funny. My GF was watching it at home on my Sunday Ticket. I was at work watching it on my phone/Sunday Ticket app. Kyler had just overthrown the pass on 4th down to KJ & I get a text from her saying "nice pass" I thought she was being sarcastic? Next play was the pass from Lee on the fake, then it dawned on me. She's ahead of me watching it on tv lol.

Andy Lee had an amazing pass last year vs. the Bucs too. He's really cool in high pressure situations.

Too bad we didn't score that drive but it helped field position/gave the defense a rest.

I think Sherfield or Byrde caught that pass against the Bucs last year? That was a much tougher throw than today.

Kliff has some damn grapefruits....bash him all you want....freaking grapefruits

OK, she's a keeper.

Too bad KK is soooo passive when it comes to playcalling...

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

OK, she's a keeper.

She flew with me last September to SFS to watch the Carson Palmer ROH game. 15th row, 50 yard line right behind the Cardinals bench. Cost me a fortune but we had fun. She wore my #11 Fitzgerald jersey.

It would have been so easy to choke that one on the pressure situation and sail it.

I'll give you props Brit. When you pick a hill to die on you defend it like a madman. LOL

Not a criticism, just funnin' you a bit.

Come on man. It was clearly desperation.

You don't fake punt on your own 30 because you aren't playing like crap and everything is fine.

The play itself was great. Props to Lee and Turner.

you know what they say. Haters gonna hate and ainters gonna ain’t

Come on man. It was clearly desperation.

the game was tied at that point, with nearly the entire 4th quarter to play: thats not desperate

down two scores at that point would have been desperate

 

[TaylorSwift]

Our offense was in a funk and that was a great call in the situation.

Not something the eagles were expecting there.

Good on Kliff for exercising some game theory in that moment.

I don’t think I’ve called him primarily passive, but he’s erratic; oscillating between overly aggressive vs. conservative. BTW Russ Smith’s post got it right. The line tipped the play but Philly was too incompetent to see it.

Come on man. Why can't you just admit when he actually does something good? It isn't that hard and it won't change your opinion of him anyway.

Speaking of #22 for the Eagles. Although he was sold by the fake punt, his recovery time was incredible as he made the tackle.

It was 26-26. It had been 14-26.

Our first 2 drives of the the 2nd half finished in a punt and an INT. Eagles just got all square and had ALL the momentum. We are just about to go 3 and out to make it worse with our offense playing poorly.

It reeked of desperation.

It was a good call, I'm not denying that. But it wasn't made because he's brave, or because he's an offensive genius or any kind of other positive trait.

It was made because the Eagles came back from 12 points behind to tie up and we were about to go 3 and out and give them the ball back.

No coach calls fake punt on their own 3 if they aren't desperate.
