    The best way to milk the clock, limit possessions, and control field position is to  keep the ball. We got to 36 and then several 3 and outs followed by a muffed punt, which is what got them back in the game. A little killer instinct after the 2nd int or a better play call on 4th and 3 or more aggression in those 4th quarter possessions would have iced the game much quicker, quicker still with a td at some point in the quarter. 

    I'm not saying I agree with it, just pointing out what Herman is doing.

    We also threw once on each of those three and out possessions. The first 3 and out we had a 3rd and 1 and called Sam's number. The one obvious conservative call was running on 3rd and 8.  At that point, do you take your chances trying to convert a 3rd and long or take a guaranteed 40 seconds off the clock?

    Yeah it's frustrating when we let teams hang around the way we did Saturday, yeah I wanted our guys to step on their throats and all that shit, but situational awareness shouldn't be flat out ignored.  Keeping your foot on the gas can also let trailing teams hang around. It's not automatically the right decision every time.

    Weird quirk of Herman's. He's more than willing to do somewhat offensive things like making fun of Missouri's Drew Locke on the sidelines. But he won't run up the score, even when offensive reps are probably a good thing. 

    Huh? The decision in the OSU game had nothing to do with sportsmanship or an unwillingness to run up the score. It's about milking clock, shortening the game, limiting the other team's possessions, controlling field position. Binder stuff.

    Down 13+ going into tonight.  Opponent is done, I can play either D Montgomery or McLaurin tonight (.5 PPR).  Everything I am seeing suggests Montgomery is the right play.  Thoughts?

    Everything about the matchup points to Montgomery. You'll feel way more dumb and frustrated if you lose starting McLaurin.

    Feels like it. Frustrating as fuck. Although that Carolina CB held him in check twice last season, so hopefully he sees positive regression Next week. Week 1 he was apparently sick.

    I’d call 190 and 3 td’s positive regression.

    Olson would be a close 2nd.

    good call. I wasn’t checking news this morning so I didn’t know Alshon was out.  I ended up going with Fitz, fortunately it didn’t matter cause my team went off.  Watson, Evans, Engram, Lockett... my guys popped off in the late games

    Damn, I was actually gonna say Larry fitz easily, but apparently I’m in the minority. Just seems like with kliff’s uptempo offense, and them actually having a competent qb (ducks for cover), it kinda seems like Larry is must start. He’s had two really good games to start the season, both from actual numbers and target share for his team.

    The composite rankings have Fitz significantly higher. I think I will roll with him actually.

    If they score 2 touchdowns we’d only need a field goal to tie

    That’s the thinking.

    But if you kick the xp you’re up 12, and a FG would win if they score 2 td’s right?
