I just got back from the game. My observations: Kyler is even freakishly faster in person than on TV. Cards lost a heart breaker in this game. I was for sure they would stop the two point play. Cards need to pick OL with their first pick, and Bolts need to pick DL with their first pick. Cards did a great job in the secondary deflecting passes. Bolts threw screen passes, and Cards threw downfield. It was like they switched coaches or something.

Amazing that there were pages of people blaming this play on Kyler.

The play was designed to go 2 places, Conner or McBride, and the defense took away both of them. Kliff is running amateur stuff on 4th and inches instead of punting or pounding the ball.

How do we not run on 4th and inches with Connor getting 5 yards a carry. Why does Kliff always scheme long passes on very short yards. Makes no sense and you would think he would learn. We need to throw the vault at Sean Payton
he's not touching this dump with a 10 foot pole under the current front office

To be fair, BA called bombs on 4th downs, too...and even when successful, people on this board still lost their poop.

there was clearly an option in the play design to hand the ball off then

They have a new coach and a retread QB...they have bottomed out and started the rebuild this year. They have been fairly competitive, all things considered.

Allow me to translate, "Kliff's plays are kind of..."

And again Maxx falls down coming off the LOS, he's supposed to chip the end but he didn't so the end took away the easy handoff to Conner, which Kyler read correctly. Now the safety reads the play on Trey so that's not there. Hollywood is blocking he's not running a route.

But the wide open play there is as the guy said, in the middle of the field, Maxx can run forever, but he fell down coming off the LOS and then when he got up Kyler had already gotten off that completely and was about to throw the ball to D Hop. If Maxx gets off the LOS cleanly he's wide open there but he fell down.
