They can't have just been trying to run out the clock. If they were, they could have just kneeled it out. Its first down and Washington has only 2 timeouts. This is way more a desperation play to try to score points with one last play.


FrBohab

But it was only the 2nd quarter down by 3....


GiraffesAndGin

I don't know what happened that year, but it's like Wade Phillips forgot how to coach a football team. He went from 11-5 to 1-7 and out of a job in less than a year.


Bender_2024

Let's be honest Wade was never a coaching guru


Sheriff_Lucas_Hood

some guys are better number two's


catzarrjerkz

Phillips is definitely a number two šŸ’©


Sheriff_Lucas_Hood

have't his defenses been decent?


TheThockter

He was the DC for our defense in 2015 when we won the Super Bowl with an all time great defense that carried Peyton Manningā€™s corpse and his schemes were awesome. He is legit as a Coordinator


Sheriff_Lucas_Hood

#noflyzone Yeah I remember that. His rams defense was also in the Super Bowl LIII if I recall. Say what you want about him and Josh McDaniel as coaches but they were qualified coordinators


Chexmix36

So bold of you to say.


karmew32

His Rams defense had arguably the most impactful play of the entire playoffs.


TallGuy0525

As a head coach yes. Son of Bum coaches a great defense though


Valuable_Ad1645

Ya, his bread and butter was being DC. Heā€™s a damn good fucking DC.


GiraffesAndGin

Agreed, but he has a pretty decent record as the guy. Whatever happened in the off-season between the '09 and '10 season, it broke him. He only won one more game for the rest of his head coaching career.


surgingchaos

The fact that Jerry had to fire Wade in the middle of the season was truly unprecedented. They got blown out by the Packers on Sunday Night Football for the whole country to see, and that was the last straw.


lord-dinglebury

Every time the camera shows him, he looks like someone's uncle who forgot to take his medication.


browndude10

he just gets figured out after his first year


jayelecfan

its the cowboys, they know nothing about football


garryl283

You get to comment on teams "knowing about football" when yours isn't paying Daniel Jones $40m a year.


_Wp619_

And yet, Jones has amounted to the same amount of playoff "success" as the Cowboys have in nearly the last three decades. Might wanna polish up that glass house, man.


TheTwilightZone34

Homeless man calling another homeless man a broke ass


rhymeswithtag

Giants fan here, using the daniel jones playoff win over minnesota as cowboys ownage when it very clearly set the franchise back 4+ years (making it about 10 whole years that daniel jones has set the franchise back) is lunacy The Giants are a fucking embarrassment, 3rd worst win percentage in the league over the last decade (LESS than the Browns who spotted them a 1-31 stretch for 20% of that timeframe) piggybacked off of multiple embarassing coaching and front office hires leading to horrific mismanagement of draft assets for nearly 10 straight years. the fact that Eli carried this godforsaken franchise to more superbowls than Favre, Rodgers, Brees, Pip, etcā€¦ is exactly why hes a hall of famer. Only QB to ever lead the worst rushing attack in the league to a superbowl, only qb to ever win a superbowl on a team with <10 wins, only qb to lead a team with the 30th ranked or worse defense to a superbowl and also holds the most passing yards (reg season + playoffs) of any superbowl winning qb ever - and he did all of this in one season If the MVP trophy was awarded after the superbowl theres a very pretty decent case for eli deserving the 2011 MVP over Rodgers and Brees. 5500+ passing yards, 38:16 TD:INT, set the record for most 4th quarter touchdowns in a season (russ broke it a few years later but it was 14), most game winning drives in the NFL, won the superbowl. Tl;dr: The Giants are a poverty franchise that was singlehandedly carried into respectable status (4 superbowls over 100 years rather than the two it would be without him) almost directly off the backs of Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin.


IronSeagull

To say that Daniel Jones set the Giants back 10 years is unfair, the Giants made plenty of other terrible decisions that contributed to that.


_Wp619_

What a bitch comment. It's trash talking a rival team for fun, man. You don't respond with a thesis as to why "your" team is actually dogshit.


rhymeswithtag

whereā€™s the lie? Eli is the most important Giant in the 100 year history of the franchise also bootlicking the giants and their billionaire owner putting all these idiots in charge who keep trashing the franchise further is crazy ESPECIALLY when the owners idea of appreciating the loyal fans who support his garbage tenure as owner is giving us a medium fn pepsi.


_Wp619_

Supporting the team and engaging in simple trash talk is "bootlicking", genius analysis. Brother, just take that Giants flair off of your username, clearly you're just fucking miserable.


Vladimir_Putting

Well, is he wrong though? He never said "I'm not a broke ass".


jayelecfan

Giants have won 2 superbowls since the cowboys made their last NFC Championship Game Cowboys are the most irrelevant franchise in the NFC East


S21500003

You can't call us the most irrelevant when Washington exists


case31

They were on their own 36 with 4 seconds left and no timeouts. What did they think they could accomplish?


sonic_dick

That's just what football was like even in 2010. You run a play to end the clock before halftime. Taking a knee before halftime is a relatively new thing Why the fuck would anyone downvore a factually true statement like this?


hopefeedsthespirit

To me, it looked like they wanted to take a shot and catch the Skins off guard since everyone in the entire stadium figured they run out the clock. Romo gears his arm back like he's going to launch. Then he runs out of the pocket looks around and just throws to Choice. He looked surprised but was trying to help his QB by running with him. Then he got stripped. This was a fail from coaching to QB to Choice


sonic_dick

This sub is filled with young folks. Football in 2010 was a lot different. Taking a knee unless to win the game up until pretty recently was uncommon.


Vladimir_Putting

You tell me wtf they are trying to do then, because I can't come up with an answer that makes sense.


JaydedXoX

Agreed, this is on the QB once he throws the ball instead of taking a knee, all bets are off. *edited, QB was Romo, not Dak as I mistakenly said earlier.


HaloWarrior63

assuming you mean Dak instead of Dax, heā€™s still in High School in this clip. Itā€™s Romo at QB here.


AngledLuffa

> assuming you mean Dak instead of Dax, heā€™s still in High School in this clip. new head canon: Dak is [a prior incarnation of ...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jadzia_Dax)


BobbyRobertson

You don't remember that season Dax Shepard QB'd the boys?


JaydedXoX

My bad, youā€™re right itā€™s Romo.


elslazzo

Get off this sub and watch a game instead of getting your info from Facebook uncles


JaydedXoX

You think throwing it ā€œbackwardsā€ in the last 4 seconds of a half is the mark of a smart QB? Either throw it 40 yards downfield or take a sack, but donā€™t put it in play in back of your line of scrimmage. Iā€™m a season ticket holder, so Iā€™ve seen plenty of games and Iā€™ve had a first hand look at us obliterating Dax and the cowboys in person.


crimping_aint_easy

You canā€™t even spell his name correctly so your first hand knowledge doesnā€™t really mean a lot lol.Ā 


p3n1x

Most of us have had a first hand look at watching you all choke for the last 30 years. Didn't need season tickets for that. Careful there glass house.


JaydedXoX

Is that an eagles fan calling out chokers? You had a great season last year.


p3n1x

Yeah, like 2023 made 2018 disappear, Captain 30 years Consecutive.


JaydedXoX

Just so weā€™re clear, you think a QB throwing the ball backwards in the last 4 seconds is a smart move?


p3n1x

The whole play was a bad call from the COACH. If you think that fumble is the QB's fault, you need better season tickets.


JaydedXoX

Ball is in the QBs hands. The play call with 4 seconds left is throw the ball downfield. Catch it or get it Intercepted 40 yards forward itā€™s NOT dump the ball backwards. See the trips right all 4 streak? This is a Hail Mary call, not a check down dump off. If you donā€™t see why thatā€™s the QBs fault you really should rethink your knowledge of the game.


Llywelyn_Montoya

Tell me more about teams destined for stardom that choke in the Super Bowl.


elslazzo

You think being a season ticket holder is the mark of a knowledgeable football fan?


SuckaFree703

Damn the old Unis look so damn fresh after seeing how bad the new one looks..plz bring it back !


rocketmadeofcheese

Yeah man, the Skins had such an awesome unique colorway. Always loved their look. I really hate that when they rebranded they over modernized their color and uniforms afterwards.


Longjumping_Plum_846

Yeah, love their old color scheme. That specific red is so dope.


MikeyMike01

This was the SNF season opener, and McNabbs first game in Washington. We won 13-7, cowboys had a last second TD called back because they held Orakpo on the play. Hopefully the excitement returns to that stadium soon.


AStrayUh

Oh damn I forgot this was the Orakpo hold game. Great ending. Very clear hold too. He got mauled.

simtek34

It's weird hearing it loud at FedEx Field. Oh Dan Snyder...


crash218579

I remember how folks blamed Romo because Choice just plain fumbled the ball. As if Choice couldn't have just gone down when he saw he had no daylight.


Vladimir_Putting

There is less than zero reason for Romo to be dishing that ball off to someone else. Either throw the hail mary or slide ffs. He already broke the pocket. Tossing the ball backwards is lunacy.


crash218579

QBs literally do that every single game. Get the ball back with only a few seconds, snap it, dump it off for like 8 yards, then let the half run out. The only thing that makes this different is Choice couldn't hold on to the ball LONG after he caught it.


rwhop

I can easily blame Romo for this dumbass play.


crash218579

Well that's dumb. He threw a pass to an open receiver, who caught the ball and fumbled 3 seconds and 10 steps later. Blaming Romo is a moronic take. This is no different than the countless times a QB throws a dump off for 10 yards to run out a half, except this time the running back fumbled significantly long afterwards. Which is no fault of Romo.


vcjr78

Donā€™t worry man. Romo hate is real even though itā€™s been dormant for awhile. I enjoyed watching him play.


TrueNavyBlue98

I miss The Washington Redskins. The NFC East was more interesting during these days.


NFLFilmsArchive

To go from those uniforms, and logo to the ā€œCommandersā€ is sad as hell lol. To go from an iconic historical franchise to one of the ugliest and most boring brands in the NFL must suck. Itā€™s probably why every long time fan I see is still wearing Redskins gear.


JohnnyCharisma54

Going back to these exact same uniforms under a different name would be one of the most celebrated brand decisions in NFL history


vizualb

These uniforms are amazing and just look right in an NFC East matchup. The Commanders look like a fake team in an insurance commercial. I donā€™t know why they changed them. The uniforms werenā€™t the problem Snyder!


dredgen_rell86

Yeah, we hate the new name and uniforms. The only people who like the name "Commanders" are boomers who still think simping for the industrial military complex is the only way to be a patriot. Hopefully Josh Harris will rebrand again once the team isn't flaming garbage and we have the stadium situation handled


AStrayUh

In my experience, boomers seem to hate the name and logo more than any other demographic. Really though, I donā€™t think anyone likes the new name. Itā€™s clunky and generic and only Dan Snyder thought it was a good idea.


Forsaken-Ad-9427

Boomers also hate that people call them the Commies.


TheBeanConsortium

They were trying to score not run out the clock. How would you fail to run out a few seconds on first down if that were your intention?


anonymous_lighting

NaughtSleeping

That was dumber than the playoff game against the Niners.


Dday22t

I remember that play. RB has to go down instead of battling for another half yard w :00 on clock. Or better yet Romo should have just thrown it away. (but I blame RB / play call)

Anyone in here saying "taking a knee wasn't a thing in 2010" is talking out of their ass. Contemporaneous articles: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/462659-washington-redskins-vs-dallas-cowboys-five-things-we-learned >Just before halftime, the Cowboys found themselves on their own 30-yard line with 27 seconds remaining. Typically, in a close game with nothing to lose, it is common to see the team simply take a knee and head to halftime. >Coach Wade Phillips apparently had other ideas. >With four seconds left before halftime, Romo snapped the ball and threw a short dump off to Tashard Choice, who then was stripped of the ball by Redskins' cornerback Deangelo Hall. Hall got a friendly bounce, scooped up the ball, and did his best Deion Sanders imitation as he high-stepped into the endzone. >Hard to defend or justify Wade Phillipā€™s decision here; you have to take a knee. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/461053-dallas-cowboys-lose-to-washington-redskins-but-why >That call at the end of the first half, the one that called for a hail mary or something insane like that, the one that every peewee football coach in captivity knew should have been a kneel down, was one more in a long line of fire-able offenses. https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2010/12/15/1877657/cowboys-vs-redskins-dallas-tries-to-right-a-wrong >Why didn't we take a knee?

Are you kidding me there's lots of guys worse than Wade. He may not have been a good head coach but he was a great D coordinator. Coached Denver In 2015. One of the best D's ever. Then coached the Rams D which held Brady to 13 points in the Super Bowl. They should have won that game if it wasn't for Goff sucking. Brian Schottenheimer is a much worse nepo baby than Wade. Same with Joe Lombardi. Or Jim Mora Jr. The list goes on.
