    Shepherd back there? No one within 15 yards and he calls fair catch.
  2. adambr2
    Still might get a Hail Mary or two in, so there's that.
  3. adambr2
    That never had a chance. Coverage was too good.

    I personally think the Cowboys, though they'll probably win the division, won't be long for the playoffs. I do think the Vikings are definitely better and would fear them a lot more in January. How the teams match up on one particular night isn't everything, it's just one piece of information. The Chargers looked like a really good football team against us last week and we looked like a very bad one but we know that isn't true. I just think you are selling that Cowboys team short. There is a ton of offensive skill position talent there. Maybe. I think Dak is a bit overrated and not going to get them to the next level, but I do acknowledge there's the potential for any contender to get hot and play a good game and go on a run. Which is why it's more important than ever to get a top 2 seed and get a bye for the 1st round.

    I don't get why you even bother to have a rule in the rulebook if you're not going to ever enforce it. It's like a lane violation on a free throw in basketball. It technically is a rule, but it happens on every free throw and is never called.
  7. adambr2
    Or that it's a 60 minute football game. They're also still not that good.
  8. adambr2
    14-10 is a 28-20 pace, with the FG it's a 34-20 pace, and I think the average NFL over/under is in the high 40s. I don't think 14-10 halftime constitutes a low scoring game. But I do agree about playing the situation. 7-0, take the points, 28-24, go for it.
  9. adambr2
    Cowboys reminding everybody that they're not very good.
  10. adambr2
    I get it. But I like to try to leave 25-30 seconds to play with in that situation, not carry it too close to :00. Enough time to let you throw a few times to the endzone if that exact situation arises and a defensive penalty gets you a first, but not enough time that they're going to try to do something when they get it back. You hate to not score thetr because you ran out of time when you had plenty of it and it was entirely within your control.

    I thought initially it was one of the Smith's and then Fackrell completed the tackle. That OL almost pushed him across, which somewhere I thought that would be a penalty. The guy physically bear-hugged and spun him forward. That which I thought we were penalized earlier this season for? I think in a pile pushing forward is fine, but physically hands on and doing so wasn't allowed? Oh I wasn't near my laptop when it happened but King certainly was pushed off worse than Lazard's Off PI and not called. They acted like it was the footing, but 3yards of separation happened by the pushoff. I think it *used* to be a penalty? Or maybe it actually is a penalty and just never gets called? In any event I didn't expect a flag as you never see them call that carry. When he did I personally thought CMC broke the plane, but there was just no way to tell for sure. I'm glad they did not rule it a touchdown on the field as I am certain it would have remained a touchdown.

    Simple. On the road, TD wins it instead of ties it. Unconventional, but not without logic. Analytically not much difference between going for 1 or 2 anyway with a likely slight advantage to going for 2. It looks stupid now but would look genius if it had worked and they end up winning 25-24. One of those calls that is totally dependent on whether it works or not. I'd tend to trust my offense picking up two yards against our D too. And that's why I get that call vs the go for a TD AT home with 2secs left in the first half. Home/Away playcalling. Considering how the game had played out to that moment, to call go for it would indicate to me you didn't believe your defense could stop them nor could your offense score enough more with a 10pt lead. I hope this is a 1st yr coach blunder and he learns from it. I honestly don't feel too strongly either way. Coaches have done it both ways and get criticized either way if they're wrong. The home/away thing does matter as you say but they never should have even had to decide. I wish they hadn't bled so much clock on the last drive and then it wouldn't have mattered.
  13. adambr2
    That’s all I was thinking on that last drive. It simply can't be assumed that everything plays out the exact same in the second half. Different deficits, different game plans, everything. It's like in baseball when a guy gets caught stealing to end an inning and then the guy at the plate leads off the next inning with a HR and people are upset. But you just don't know how it might have played out differently.
  14. adambr2
    Rodgers has got to be more aware of the play clock especially at home. Offensive dead ball penalties have just killed this team the last 2 games and that one killed the drive.
  15. adambr2
    2-point conversions are ~51% successful. Then go for it every time. Not pick and choose. You can't play it like that either though, context and situation matter. Obviously if you are down by 6 and score a TD as time expires you're not going for 2; likewise if you pull within 5 with 2 minutes left in the game you're not going to kick the PAT.

    I figured it was destined to be caught for a TD after Amos tipped it. That's our usual luck.
  18. adambr2
    Absolutely pitiful, embarrassing sequence. Rodgers misses a wide open TD not once, but twice. Graham does a terrible toe tap job. Then you get another gift but you've mismanaged the clock so badly that you don't have anything more than one play. That was just awful, and now you've handed Carolina back the momentum at the half.
  19. adambr2
    This special teams coverage/return unit has become so bad it's almost become hilarious. Even on a touchback they manage to lose 10 yards of field position.
  20. adambr2
    Definitely looked like he broke the plane on second effort to me.
  21. adambr2
    It's much, much worse. It may be the worst special teams in our lifetimes.
  22. adambr2
    So you're still rooting for them to not get the help they need to avoid a potential embarrassment against OSU to settle for a lesser bowl and not play for a potential conference championship and potential NY6 bowl. I do not understand that mindset. Winning a national championship is not the one and only thing that matters in the NCAAs.
  23. adambr2
    Suppose they finish 9-2, but Minnesota beats Iowa so they win the West. What would we be looking at? Citrus/Capital One, whatever they are calling it these days? Outback?
  24. adambr2
    Yes, odds are very good thay they'll lose the B10 title game if they get there. Still, if you don't want to challenge yourself against the big boys, what's the point? Might as well be a Group of 5 mid-major team then. Right, I get it. I don’t blame people for hoping for the title game. I guess I don’t hate Minnesota as much as much as other people. I typically don’t despise teams that my sports team readily dominates on a yearly basis. They just aren’t big games on the schedule and hard to really make it a rivalry when more often than not it is a bye week. I agree with you as far as not really caring if the Gophers have success other than as far as it prevents our own. My sister is a Gopher alumni, I don't really care one way or another about them. I will root for the Badgers to make the B10 title game, but if Minnesota ends up undefeated in that game I'll certainly be rooting for them. My hatred of Minnesota sports teams is pretty much limited to the Vikings. Twins, Gophers, etc, don't really care.
  25. adambr2
    I'd rather have Minnesota beat Iowa, and have the Badgers spoil Minnesota's unbeaten season, get back the axe, then sit back and watch as they get pummeled by Ohio State. I want no part of a rematch with Ohio State which is far and away the best team in the country (and it's not close, sorry LSU fans, Ohio State will hang 50 on you). It's unfathomable to me that several of you are so afraid of facing OSU that you would actually prefer to NOT win the division and NOT play for the B10 Championship just to avoid facing them. It's like rooting for the Packers to lose the NFC Championship because you think they'll get destroyed by the Patriots. Ohio State is great, but we did hang with them for most of the first half last game before things completely fell apart. Obviously, we'd need to play a much better game and hope they played a poor game, but you always want that chance. You always want that opportunity to face #1.
