I might would have taken the ball strictly because I think that Denver D might be tired right now

Moody tied it. Overtime!

This is the best we’ve played since the San Diego game.

Fun game. I see head scratching calls that still annoy. I see CRod not getting enough carries in my opinion. Enjoyable to watch though.

What the actual **** are they doing kicking instead of receiving?

Nice to see the players still have the want-to for Quinn. That’s important with the season we’ve had. Also nice to see that Whitt was so OBVIOUSLY the problem. D is still low on talent and high on injuries, still giving up plenty, but it’s just not anywhere near as bad even against a pretty good team (though one who doesn’t have great QB play)

I dont trust Mariota in big moments especially overtime. Please prove me wrong

Not sure. DQ thinking he has some kind of strategy. I assume due to the idea that both sides get a chance. The only other part is, one side is more slippery and FG kicker told them that. Those are the only things I can figure.

 

[SkinsNumberOne]

The kick logic here is, stop on D, then win on O.
Otherwise it's weird to start on O. This is due to the new rules.

^ I think

I thought the same. It’s nice knowing what you “need” after the other team gets the first possession, arguably, but I prefer aggression and not having the mindset that a FG is “fine” if they don’t score. Take the ball against their D who just was on the field imo

 

[skinsinparadise]

With the new overtime rules most teams kick it now

You get a possession regardless now, I don’t agree with it but they clearly prefer to know what they “need” from the offense after this drive. You can’t lose by giving up a TD right away anymore

 

[skinsinparadise]

Denver is clutch on offense with games on the line

 

[Conn]

At least if they score a TD you know you’re in 4 down territory all drive when you get the ball. Changes the play calling and keeps defense off balance. Forced aggression is not something I ever thought this team would need after our historic 4th down ballsiness last year, but here we are. Now we’ll have to be aggressive to even have a chance.

Kliff will need to dig deep in his bag for this one, assuming Mariota doesn’t choke it away (I will not assume that, an INT is likely)

 

[DWinzit]

Denver made that look so easy

 

[skinzplay]

Teams drive too easily on us. Middle of the field is like some kind of Bermuda Triangle for our D. Everybody exploits it. That Denver drive in OT was a case in point. That was way too easy (and FAST).

 

[Faithful Fan]

Horrible defense.

 

[skinsinparadise]

My prediction they will get to 4th and 1 and Kliff will call a 50 yard bomb that misses

I must be deaf and blind, I never heard or saw them say we get a possession after anyway, and don't remember the announcement for it either. I don't understand this sport anymore

Caleb Downs could really help this D

 

[Conn]

Just warning people now that they’ll go for 2 if they score, and that it’s the right choice even if they don’t get it
