FatMan in Charlotte : 1/10/2021 9:30 pm : link
game was a laugher at the end of the 1st - like this one. We never hit our seats until the 2nd half. We were high fiving with other fans at half, then went up to the bathroom. Came back and sat for the first time at the kickoff.

The second half was enjoyable just to see the Minny meltdown on the bench and to see the WR's pouting.

But I don't think we ever were worried Minny would come back or even threaten.

Naa, be good on our guy. Kid gives his all out there and has broken off some great plays for us no? Chubb is behind the best line in the league. Barkley was behind solder and his gang of turnstiles and matadors.

What were we leading by?

In the Wild Card Game, the Niners fell behind the New York Giants 38–14 but erupted with 25 unanswered points and survived a chaotic last-second field goal attempt by the Giants; the 39–38 win was the 26th playoff win in the team's history and as of 2019, it is the fourth biggest comeback in NFL Playoff history.

Sammo85 : 1/10/2021 9:38 pm : link
are completely different backs. Giants need a true power back in Chubb mold to complement Barkley and soften up defense and it helps allow Barkley to move around field. Multi back sets, screen passes, motions into slot.

Just trying to point out the madness of using a second round pick on a RB. Especially when his Penn stats were less than generational. Giant scouts suck nuts.

That fair, i don't want Barkley banging up the middle any way. Let's remember Chubbs back up is an elite back in Hunt. Plus that 1# ranked oline.

Gallman could be that guy. But I'm still trying to wrap my head around how Gallman "puts the ball on the ground too much" when his only fumble of the year was last week and it was recovered by him.

Was he supposed to be better than not losing a fumble??

Yea he dropped the ball at the wrong time but usually he's fine. I think he fumbled twice in that game. He runs hard and strong. He may not be the perfect complimentary back to SBs skill set but he's surely a good back.

He fumbled twice in the game. He also had two earlier in the year he re-recovered both. I think you’re looking at straight turnovers.

He's mostly average but when he has a bad game... it's really bad. Browns are at their best when Baker completes around 15 passes in an entire game. Which is the type of football I like.

Gallman fumbled once ALL YEAR, and he recovered it. That fumble was his only one. Zero lost fumbles. But it was said above that he puts the ball on the ground TOO MUCH? How is that possible?

Yeah that was not a perfect spot. Gallman created a gap between his forearms that was plenty big enough for Jones to fit it in and yet Jones completely failed to get in between his arms cleanly. As Greg said he banged it off of his forearm. When getting a hand off the RB is not looking at the ball he’s look long at the hole and the defenders, so it’s on the QB to place the ball correctly because that’s literally all a QB has to do on that play.

Not to mention a failed handoff exchange is really not what you normally think of when we talk abo it a RB having fumbling issues. The one later on in the game was his only fumble all year and it didn’t even come on a hit to Gallman, which if anything honestly makes me think of it as more of a fluke anyway.
Yep  
Greg from LI : 1/10/2021 10:14 pm : link
The RB does NOT look at the handoff. His eyes are looking ahead to read his blocks. It's entirely on the QB to place the ball in his hands.

Anyway, like he said, one botched handoff in no way means an RB has fumbling problems. That's just silly.

Aikman said that Gallman did not have his arms spread far enough, but he also said it was Jones job the get the ball there.
