You don't take the ball in the hope the D gets you a 3 and out and better field position. And then all you need a FG to win because they've already had possession.
Or they score a TD and it’s over.
Or they score a FG then you have to score a FG next drive and lose it not.
If you take the ball - you could score a TD and win.
Score a FG and force them to get a FG
Get a 3 and out and punt.
Every coach every time you take the ball and control the game yourself.
Especially if you want to “minimize risk” instead of playing to win.
I think that plan is only a consideration in hindsight given Dabol's complete lack of faith in his QB to throw the ball.Why do people keep saying to not take the ball in OT?
What exactly is the game plan - hope the defense runs out the clock and play for a tie?
The defense that just gave up 50 yards to Zach Wilson on 2 plays?
They literally spent the entire game running out the clock.
They didn't pass the ball in regulation after getting the lead. 23 straight runs.
At some point you need to actually try and score points to win a game.
If not in OT, then when?

My comment is based on initial coin toss.No. If team getting ball first scores a FG, other team gets the ball. Then sudden test. If team getting ball first scores TD, game over.
Did you watch the game and observe the Giants ability to drive the field against arguably one of the better defenses in the league?Imagine the crap Daboll would take if he didn’t take the ball. I believe the Jets would have scored a TD instead of FG if they had first possession anyway since the Giants D was done. At least the Giants had a chance on offense.
Of course.You always take take the ball in OT (NFL). Period.
But this game, and more importantly how they were called the plays, makes it a fair question.
IMO, if they weren't going to let the kid throw downfield, which they didn't, they should've started on defense and made the Jets beat them.
If they were going to run a legit offense in OT and play to win, then you take the ball.
And we could argue whether it should have been. But Daboll was playing it that way, and thus we consider doing something so far out of the norm.Of course.
This game was a one off.
I did and I agree with you about the Giants offense...and the analytics. For all teams except the Giants it makes sense to take the ball first position in OT. That being said, the NY press would have killed him if he went on D and the Jets scored first. How bad does it look for an offensive guy afraid to play offense? That is the bigger issue here.Did you watch the game and observe the Giants ability to drive the field against arguably one of the better defenses in the league?
Using analytics what was the best chance and scenario for the Giants to win in OT, given what took place on the field for 60 minutes prior.

Jones is never going to last
How Amazing Eli looks for never getting hurt and missing games.
Jones and Barkley might want to invest in gold, crypto, Chinese real estate etc and open a sports medicine clinic
no he didnt. he's garbage and can't stay healthy.Actually, playing behind that OL he earned every penny.
The first time yes, this time? He just fell down on his own, then fell down again on the next play holding his knee. He might be done for the year and I'm still not sure how he twisted it. He's going to turn out to be a huge waste of money and the butt of many jokes.Actually, playing behind that OL he earned every penny.
I think it happened when he tried to avoid Cager and trying to avoid the sack at the same time. He planted funny and didn’t look good getting up. Probably should have come out then, but wouldn’t have made a difference.The first time yes, this time? He just fell down on his own, then fell down again on the next play holding his knee.

I feel bad for him too. Injuries are just bad luck sometimes. It’s not like the guy doesn’t work hard and is out of shape coming into camp each year.Honestly feel bad for Jones. Gonna be a long rest of the season no matter what
Yup, I noticed that as well. Imagine if the trade deadline was this week and Jones does in fact have a ACL injury. Got to think Schoen would've traded almost everyone.I think it happened when he tried to avoid Cager and trying to avoid the sack at the same time. He planted funny and didn’t look good getting up.

It’s weird but I was thinking that too. He would’ve been totally aggressive trying to stockpile picks.Yup, I noticed that as well. Imagine if the trade deadline was this week and Jones does in fact have a ACL injury. Got to think Schoen would've traded almost everyone.
