NoSaint Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Morons. Sudden death OT, Houston's on Washington's 36, 53 yard field goal wins it...so they line up for a punt, AND take the delay of game to get the extra five yards of space? And get a net 19 yards on the punt. Seriously??? Idiots. Dick Jauron-like idiots. Houston deserves to lose, just for that stupid call. Honestly, when you take the penalty into account, it was 14 yards net. At what point do you just go for it instead?
SwampD Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 I think that's the first time I've ever seen that work, where the kicker makes the first one that's negated by the TO, and misses the "real" one. So, to the Kubiak bashers that complain about his gaining 19 yards of field position on the punt. With those yards, Gano has 33 instead of 52 (just like Rackers had 35 instead of 53, as was rightly pointed out above). Wasn't Shanahan the first to do that a couple of years ago? Kinda ironic, I'd say.
BuffOrange Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) That was an absolutely horrendous call. Not debatable really. Like a hundred times worse than Bellichicks call in Indy last year. If Rackers is unlikely to make the kick then go for it - they only needed 4 yards and the offense was humming. The punt actually netted 14 yards btw when you factor in the intentional delay of game. To everyone saying "it worked" - GMAFB. I really hope you're not the same guy who accuses people of criticizing coaching decisions "because it didn't work; if it worked you wouldn't say anything, blah blah". I guess if you score a 2pt conversion in a tie game that's the right call too as long as you make it. Edited September 20, 2010 by BuffOrange
KD in CA Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Coaches have been trying to ice the kicker for as long as I can remember. But now instead of calling the TO when the kicking is in the huddle, the coach waits till they line up. What's the big deal?
HurlyBurly51 Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 You do what you have to do to win games, its a legal move, and it led to his team getting the chance to win the game in OT Winning in the NFL is a chickenshit move.
