I know this is late but I was unable to post until now. Many of us were upset at Coach Judge's strategy at the end of the Washington game-- running up the middle and ultimately kicking a field goal and giving Washington an opportunity to kick it own field goal. Most of us thought he was too conservative and should have tried for a touchdown. Well, on Sunday, with three or so minutes left in regulation, Green Bay executed the strategy we advocated, and what happened-- three straight incomplete passes which took almost no time off the clock and then a missed field goal, This gave Cincinnati over two minutes to march down the field for a field goal, which of course was missed. So, which is the best strategy in this situation. Who knows?
Once he got HIS roster, that’s what was great about BP: the Reasons fake punt, the Rutledge 4th down try in the SB.
When he didn’t, he payed back , got what they could, punted, and put it back on D to hold.
Without an identity, NO GM can get the kind of players to create a cohesive effective unit. Without that, you’re just randomly acquiring talent with no rhyme or reason- and that’s exactly what’s been going on here.
Couple that with poor player evaluation (internally as well as externally) and you have complete crap. That’s where we are at .
This far into year two, we should be seeing what kind of team (on offense and defense) Judge wants. I don’t think he knows, which is a fatal condemnation of him as a HC. Unfortunately John Mara isn’t smart enough to recognize he fucked up- again!!
Knowing this you really need to go for a first down because a three and out is not helpful.
In the last 2 weeks the team has generated like 30 or 40 first downs, most of them via the air, even with all the injuries? If you got a do-over in a future game wouldn't you want the coaches to go aggressive for that first down? Or would you trust this defense to get a stop?
you can make the same case running the ball...

Like another poster on here who dislikes Jones and he said he would draft a QB every year until he gets an elite QB. It's easy to say when you sit on your couch and keep getting non-elite QB's that you need to wait on then waste another 1st round draft pick. And then another etc.
