The worst part of the play was the fact that Cassel through it out of the endzone instead of keeping it in the field of play, but it seems more appropriate to blame the QB than the coaches on that.

I'm almost positive that Herm would've gone for the field goal in that situation.

I'm sorry, that is the single worst play call I have ever seen given the situation. Edges out the fake FG ran by Janakowski aginst us that was returned for a TD.

A Hail Mary from the 26 damn yard line. That is a joke.

And another thing... a Hail Mary is designed for a play where the QB is to heave the ball up as far as he can possibly throw it. Sort at the edge of his range for how far he can throw the ball. Our Jr High QB can reach the endzone from the 26 yard line. Our JV Junior High QB may have to chuck up a Hail Mary from that distance, and definately our pee wee QB would be at the edge of his range, but our local NFL QB should be able to throw a pass that every single defender within 30 yards doesn't have time to converge on and signal a fair catch on if you know what I mean.

I was gonna ask... how can a pass even be called a 'Hail Mary' from the 26? Surely an NFL QB should be able to get a pass 26 yards down field on a rope. I mean Jesus, that's not even as far as a throw out to the flat on the wide side of a CFL field (65 yards wide). In fact it's not even close. How can you pay someone 10 million a season and not have them be able to throw the ball 26 yards down field without making it look like they punted it?

Fugg if I know! But it was most definately a Hail Mary. Until I saw it, I thought the same thing. No way could it really have been a Hail Mary from 26 yards. Damndest thing I have ever seen outside of the fake FG by the Raiders.
