NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

^^^ works if they don't get to snap, then try. Not when they call it late and they get a freebie

That's the problem though, the timeout is always at the last minute and the center snaps the ball probably 90% of time before he hears the whistle.

RIP to the "ice the kicker" trend.. coaches started doing this about 5 years ago and it's never been successful, time to retire that ****


Russell Wilson is the mf'in truth.

65 yards in the dome? i would have kicked it

Longwell is real old though, not sure he can go that far.

Yeah but its not like a hail mary is a much better alternative. 65 yarder in a dome> HM

 

[DB Cooper]

Question for NFL rules guru's...if Atlanta would have missed the fg, would they have still retained the ball?

 

[Jumanji]

I love close games but not when my teams are playing.

GIVE ME THIS BLOWOUT PATS!!!

 

[651akathepaul]

Gotta get them next year. Hawks will be back.

Never guaranteed.

[Nike Still Sux]

Congrats ATL!!!!

Love to see the Gulls take an l, even though they are some gritty, gutty, mofo's

Yeah the Seahawks don't have SeaBass as their kicker.

If they did I'd try from 70.

No, of course not

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

Man...if the Seahawks somehow pulled it out at the end, I would've stopped watching the NFL. **** is too much for the heart.

Seriously though, it's games like these (and Broncos/Ravens yesterday) that make the NFL king of this ****. Too much unpredictability every single week. Ain't no sure thing in this league...you can't ever take anything for granted.

@ how all the fans at the dome collectively let out a gasp of air and celebrated when Julio caught that. I can't blame 'em.

 

[KMante]

Fun game!

This game was absurd 

Pete Carroll after the FG and the kicker at the last kickoff had me WEAK 

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Gotta put that loss on the Seattle D

And not on the decisions to not kick field goals earlier in the game?

 

[sonoftony]

Seahawks fan, no need to feel down. It was amazing to watch you guys. I had you guys going all the way but it didnt happen that way. This will only make you stronger. Russell should definitely getting the ROY

 

[checks grossman]

Never guaranteed.

Referring to ATL, but I know what you mean.

We play em in the dome again next season.

 

[niketalker23]

Im happy for Tony

 

[adobecs4]

Let's get ready for SF.

Gonzalez vs. Ray Lewis in the Super Bowl is the way to go

Russell Wilson is the mf'in truth.

he called the timeout way before bryant even tired to kick it. he didnt kick the ball till after the timeout was called

 

[JD617]

@mcxyz: With 2 TO SEA should've tried the FG but iced their own kicker but kick it to see if he had the leg. If not, hailmary

That would've been amazing.

Superman vs batman type stuff. The world may burn.....

 

[jetpacunlimited]

Grown man over here homeboy.

Oh in that case.

Young ThunderCat is somewhere in his moms basement crying and yelling at his father.

 

[T0INE]

Russell Wilson.

Was so close to completely running wild in the Georgia Dome today.

Props to Tony Gonzalez finally getting that playoff win.

 

[jjs07]

Speaking of Time outs....what would have been the distance of the kick when there were 2 seconds left? Why didn't PC at least send out his FG unit to see if Longwell had the leg for the attempt? He could have called a T.O. right before the kick and still had his guy snap to see if dude could have made it. If it falls short, send out the hail mary team....

Saw this brought up on Twitter, and it was a good question.

*edit* Saw it was posted by JD...
