Chiefs I almost forgot about this play...

Hootie · 11-09-2009, 06:20 AM

the Lance Long discussion made me remember it...

How ****ing stupid was that 56 yard field goal attempt into the win at the end of the first half?

Jesus...

Everyone knew they were going to get a return on that thing...and if it wasn't for an extremely athletic play by Colquitt (which almost took out our MVP), we would've given them a free touchdown.

That was mind boggling.

P.S. It's 3rd and 17 again.

Not that stupid. He has the leg for that kick.

The chances of that being returned for six are so minuscule, why the **** not?

dude the announcers even knew he had no chance to make that field goal into the wind...

and miniscule?

How often do field goals get a chance to be returned? 1 out of every 25 field goals? More? 1 out of 50?

1 out of 100?

If the field goal turns into a punt...the odds of it being returned for a TD aren't "miniscule"...it's a full fledged "oh shit" situation...as evidenced by the way we lucked out today with Colquitt saving a press conference nightmare for Haley.

It was ****ing stupid.

You do realize, of course, that the penalty on that play would have negated any TD?

Think, McFly!

Well...they didnt know there was going to be a penalty when the play was called...still rendering it reeruned.

It really isn't unusual for a team to go for a long field goal in that situation - the last play of the half - even if it is a long shot. Jason Elam's record tying 63 yard field goal was at the end of the half. It is the one situation where you aren't giving them great field position if you miss - because time has run out. That said you do have to prevent a long run back.

Hootie · 11-09-2009, 06:38 AM

not sure if it would have negated an injury to Colquitt...

The fact they put themselves in that situation was just ridiculous...

There was a 0% chance of him making that field goal...

There was a much higher percentage of a chance of something really, really bad happened...as evidenced by the play.

0%?

WOW Didn't know you could see the future.

Sorry but that has to rank as one of the dumbest statements made her on CP, and that's saying a lot.

In those conditions?

I'd put money on Janikowski hitting that 70+ yarder he attempted last year before I'd put money on Succop hitting that field goal against that wind.
