LaFleur not using his timeouts at the end

Had two TO’s in a playoff game where all you need is a FG and you try to take them home with you.
The chances aren’t good, but it’s possible to time up the snap and get the ball on the ground - I understand in week 3 but it’s a bad look in the playoffs.

The chances were extremely minute, but I can't fathom not going ahead and calling them in a playoff game down by 3 in a torrential downpour. Anything could have happened in that weather.

With Love playing like arse, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway

This. With a second-year QB taking the snap. If they’re trying to run out the clock, your job is to stop it as many times as possible. You make them execute every snap.

Actually I think they were set up well with the 3 timeouts at the end. They could use them with passes over the middle of field. Love just made a terrible decision

I thought the same thing, especially in the pouring rain.

I thought Green Bay may have intentionally made a half hearted attempt to stop a SF touchdown once the ball made it inside the 10 yard line. Preserve time and time outs to get a game tying FG and take chances in OT. Green Bay only needed 25-30 more yards before Love made that terrible throw.

yeah, that was really idiotic of the guy to not use a TO or 2, but really they had enough time on the clock with slightly over a minute to win it if not tie it. They had all 3 TOs because he didn't use any, so, they could have easily marched the down the field to win it. Big plays in this league happen all the time, so, all it takes is 1 WR breaking a tackle and running for 40 yards to get into the red zone. But I was more disappointed in Love because I thought the kid had turned the corner. The second half of the season and against Dallas he looked like a really good and efficient QB now, but he sucked yesterday throwing terrible passes. The last one, the INT, was a wounded duck of a pass that he had no business whatsoever throwing. SMH

It's not like they ran out of time. If they had used the timeouts when SF had the ball then turned it back over they still would've lost.

He got the ball back with 1 minute left and 3 TOs
wtf are you talking about

The strategy was fine. The decision making of the young QB was not.
Posted on 1/21/24 at 11:49 am to TigerMan327
Exactly 3 TO’s and over a minute. They had what they needed to win or tie they just blew it on the field.

He wasn't expecting Love to make dumbass throws to ruin his team's chances.

OP is talking after the INT you morons. Aka, make SF kneel it 3 times in the rain and it increases your chance of them fumbling the snap than if you only make them snap it once

The dumbass announcers were telling Greenlaw to go down but he did a great job otherwise for they for sure would have gotten the ball back

Explain to me how they could have forced a 4th down play with only 2 TOs left.

Greenlaw is a million times more likely to fumble running around then fumbling when they're taking the snap to kneel.

He's saying they could have forced a fumble on the center-QB exchange with a wet football and a timed surged on the second or third snaps after a TO. Make them snap the ball every time and hope for a miracle.
The odds of that have to be very remote though. I don't think I have ever seen a team lose because they screwed up a kneel down. Michigan St won that game on a messed up punt with no time left but this game never would have gotten to 4th down.
