Washington let a win slip away in a tie with the Giants, and minority owner Magic Johnson went public with his frustration. Steve’s verdict: Dan Quinn can consider himself cooked. Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers are 0-5, and Cris questions whether Harbaugh has ever built the downfield passing game Justin Herbert needs. Nick Sirianni coaches in a city that only embraces him when he wins, and the Saints’ owner has put Kellen Moore on notice. Cris also names the wild card in this hiring cycle: Mike Tomlin, and what a reel of his speeches does to an owner.
Before that, the crew breaks down the end-of-game decisions that defined Week 5. Marvin’s message to coaches: stop trying to hit a home run and just win the game. Cris says it isn’t analytics pushing coaches to be uber aggressive, it’s peer pressure and playing to the crowd. Steve, who built an analytics department as a GM, says the human element still decides games.
Also in this episode:
• Week 6 expectations: Cris says the Chargers’ season is over, Marvin says the Falcons are coming back to earth, Steve likes Seattle on Thursday night in Denver, and Trey explains what concerns him about the 4-1 Bills.
• Joe Brady’s warning to James Cook about fumbles, and whether a coach should ever bench a star.
• Mailbag: Brian Flores’ head coaching chances, what Marvin Harrison Jr. brings to Houston, and what’s wrong with the Detroit defense.
The only way you win is to win.
