Max997 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 wow, CBS is really trying to get the commercials in now
TheChimp Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yikes. Did that guy touch the Goal Line there?
darkman Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Wow Norv ain't goin for it. He's not stupid, nor is he going to risk the game changer...
colin Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 dang, that almost got touched back!! now we need a nice 99yard td!!
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Yeah, so far I haven't seen a convincing argument as to why that would have been a bad decision. John Adams' explanation, as cohesive and professorial as it was, didn't help me understand all that much. 6 is better than 5, and at this stage it is better to take the guaranteed 6 than risk only being up by 5. You do not have to agree, but that is the logic. Many coaches also have a rule of thumb: no 2 point conversions before the 4th quarter, it is not worth the risk.
Anon Y. Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 And if they fail, SD takes the lead with 2 FGs AND if they score a TD, they take the lead and go for 2, to take a lead by a FG. Too early to think about 2 there. that shows no confidence in the offense or defense.. you are assuming they miss the 2 pt conversion... SD scores on two more plays and the Bills don't score again
darkman Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 wow, CBS is really trying to get the commercials in now Making up for lost time, they want the revenue. Too bad they owe us more than revenue. CBS is a large company. I'm still stuck on why they did not have the generators running or generators at all. ESPECIALLY when they new there was an issue BEFORE the GAME!
Big Turk Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 6 is better than 5, and at this stage it is better to take the guaranteed 6 than risk only being up by 5. You do not have to agree, but that is the logic. Many coaches also have a rule of thumb: no 2 point conversions before the 4th quarter, it is not worth the risk. Yeah, its too big of a risk to potentially lose if SD got 2 FG instead of go to OT...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 wow, CBS is really trying to get the commercials in now Now? Man, CBS has been awful for years with the commercials. Gotta pay those rights fees.
Max997 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 so they came back from a commerical to take another commerical...i dont get it

Except when you're playing a team that seems to have no real problem scoring touchdowns on you. Thyen it seems that the sensible call is to protect against their next TD becoming the game-winning points.....I wonder what John Madden would say.
Max997 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Now? Man, CBS has been awful for years with the commercials. Gotta pay those rights fees. yeah but its even worse now with the outage
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 so they came back from a commerical to take another commerical...i dont get it Play is under review, but Sylvester was too busy gobbling SD knob to notice.... Edit: it is overturned... is it still a "sensational play" Sylvester?
John Adams Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Now? Man, CBS has been awful for years with the commercials. Gotta pay those rights fees. No different from FOX. All games are the same length.
darkman Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Play is under review, but Sylvester was too busy gobbling SD knob to notice.... Edit: it is overturned... is it still a "sensational play" Sylvester? NFL.com says it was reversed and rekicked. They were wrong..
Dibs Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 OK, seems to make sense. Except when you're playing a team that seems to have no real problem scoring touchdowns on you. Thyen it seems that the sensible call is to protect against their next TD becoming the game-winning points.....I wonder what John Madden would say. I guess only scoring 2 TDs in 3 quarters means it was the right call then.
Anon Y. Mous Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 This is all matter of opinion... and yes many coaches use the rule of thumb not to go for it before the 4th quarter. I'll take my expletive out of my original question, but still whole heartedly say you go for it with little to lose
TheChimp Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 WHERE is the goal line camera angle on that play??????
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 NFL.com says it was reversed and rekicked. It does, but they didnt... and to think that ol' #22, Steve Freeman, blew that call!
