Missed XP

[kevonm]

We may not have won the game if Santos hit the XP. Too many variables, but if not for the miss the falcons would not have gone for two. Who knows if we would have marched the field for a game winning field goal.

[Hamwallet]

We may not be the United States of America if we didn't... WTF are you trying to say? Santos is one of the main reasons we are where we are at! Boo this man.

[Hamwallet]

FYI he didn't miss it jackass. It was blocked.

I think he is just saying "weird how a bad thing may have ended up forcing a play that won us the game." Of course if Atlanta hadn't gone chasing the points the first time they wouldn't have needed the two point conversion late.

Yep. Was discussing that wirh some friends after the game. You're right, too many variables to know either way. But sonething to at least bring up.

Don't think you were watching the same game as I was.

It wasn't missed.

It was blocked.

Alex would have driven the field to pay dirt.

Yep. Many rude "jackasses" here so sometimes ya gotta spell it out for people...:rolleyes:

[Hamwallet]

BLOCKED. Dumb thread.

[Rain Man]

Santos knows what he's doing.

[Spott]

If they make the XP, then they are likely up 28-23 when Atlanta scores the go ahead TD and decides to go for 2. So the score would have been 30-29 instead of 29-28 after Berry returned the pick.

Santos didn't "miss", glue sniffer.

It was blocked.

[wazu]

Santos white knights are out in force tonight.

[Deberg_1990]

Why did the Falcons go for it in 4th down in the middle of he 3rdQ instead of kicking a FG?

They might have lost the game there?

The first time you make an intelligent observation will be the first time.

That doesn't really change my point, does it? Not defending Santos either. Just an observation

Also, I didn't say he missed it, I called it a "miss" which it was.

[kcxiv]

We won a game we probably should have and that all that matters. The W.

A blocked kick is not a miss. :shake:

[Dayze]

Santos was just setting up Berry for later in the game. He learned that from Alex and Distins relationship.

It's better to say blocked than miss, because when people read miss, they're going to naturally think the kicker shanked it.

And a blocked XP is not an miss. A miss is when the kicker did not get the football up in the air to the uprights.

[kevonm]

A blocked kick is not a miss. :shake:

Yes it is. And it is noted as a miss in the kickers official stat line with a notation that it was blocked. Heck, Google agrees with me too. Here is an article calling blocked field goals misses

http://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/players/news/1616746/steven-hauschka/

This is pedantic. I was just making an observation.

[kevonm]

I completely agree

[Coach]

I completely agree

A miss is not when the ball was blocked. I don't care much for what Google or what the rules say. Common sense says that a miss is when the ball got past the LOS & the defenders, without anyone batting it down.

No one's white knighting Santos, 'tard.

This is more of a 'life is strange' observation than an attaboy.

Kind of like when Gonzo plowed into that guy on the sidelines and when he went to the hospital they gave him an early cancer diagnosis that might have gone unnoticed.

Show me your source and I will publicly admit I was wrong. I fully admit I could have been much more clear, but I was not strictly incorrect. This counts as a missed XP by Santos. This is like saying a batted down pass is not an incompletion.

[Rasputin]

Don't think you were watching the same game as I was.

It wasn't missed.

It was blocked.

Doesn't change the fact he missed the field goal extra point. I mean it's not like it was tipped and he still made it like a doink upright goal post but still goes through.



Yes it was tipped. Yes he missed the extra point. It still goes down in the stats as a missed extra point.

I was referring to all of the angry responses that it wasn't a miss.

[Baby Lee]

It's helpful clarification for those who didn't see the game.

A miss and a block that's kicked too low are both failures on the part of the kicker. The clarification doesn't beatify Santos, it informs the reader.

[cmh6476]

yeah dumb on atlanta's part to block it

[TimeForWasp]

Glad Denver tried to kick the 62 yarder too.

[KChiefs1]

Alex would have driven the field to pay dirt.



Agreed

I checked Google also and all it said was I have an above average penis.

Only compared to other pig slop covered penis. Small sample size.

Goddamn, way to go all of the people that completely missed the point of the thread in order to correct the details. You fuckers win the Internet.

This went from "Isn't it kinda odd the way events played out," to "Fuck you he didn't miss it" in a hurry.

[UK_Chief]

Errr it was blocked

[Predarat]

It would have created an alternate timeline that would have the potential to seriously fuck up the space-time continuum.

[Beef Supreme]

Things to keep in mind. Even if they had made that 2 point conversion, we got the ball back with a lot of time left and they weren't exactly stopping us. Chiefs got a couple of first downs and started kneeling on it at the 1:30 mark. Plenty of time to at least tie it up with a field goal if not win it with a touchdown, but we didn't need to.
