Good; Seattle will draft at 6 and 14 as a result. We honestly need about five first round picks.:o
Feel bad for Colt McCoy, Texas fans, and college football fans in general.
What could have been an awesome game wasn't.
I couldn't care less who ended up winning or who would have. Just a shame.
As someone who hates UT I was celebrating last night. :D You got hooked, 'horns!
uhhhhg
Wow, Pete Carroll going to the Seahawks. There goes USC's football team.
It left last season. Carroll picked a perfect time to bail.Quote:

Seattle is a good coaching job though. Low expectations, 2 first round picks, and a very wealthy owner.Quote:

GB/AZ game is very good.
This game is seriously gonna give me a heart attack.Quote:

Yikes, what a game.
Wasn't really interested in either game today. But I did watch the 4th quarter of the Arizona/Packers game and am VERY glad that I did.
*WOW* what a game! Defenses couldn't do a damned thing it looked like. It's crazy when a coach has to try to manage the game so that your the last one left with the ball to score the go ahead touchdown.
I actually liked the ending in OT... the defence comes out of nowhere to make the play to win the game! When it looked like a certainty that Green Bay was going to have the only chance in OT to score. That kicker for Arizona must have sighed a huge sigh of relief. I would have been PISSED at him as a teamate if that chipshot that he missed would have cost the game.
Also, I am still a bit confused by the ending in regulation.
When Arizona tried for that last fieldgoal that they missed... I thought that there was 14 seconds left on the clock before they kicked it. Assuming that the kick to roughly four seconds to complete... shouldn't there have been about 10 seconds left on the clock?
This is significant I think. Because with how poorly the defenses were playing... and with Green Bay taking the ball over at their own 34 yard line... I think that they had a shot at moving the ball enough for their own long field goal attempt. And they had two of their own timeouts left as well I think.
Did anybody else notice this?
I have never seen a fieldgoal take 14 seconds to run... Did I miss something here?
GB kneeled rather than taking a chance on turning it over. I'm unsure how much time was left after the kick though.
I was confused by the fact that AZ kicked on 1st down with 14 seconds to go. There was plenty of time to take a shot into the end zone and if nothing there just throw it away. Just not fond of the conservative kick on 1st down. As luck would have it for AZ it worked out for them, but it didn't look good when GB won the toss.
Man I can't believe I didn't watch the end of that game. I turned of Call of Duty to check out the score and it was like 27-10 and GB had just lost the ball. So I figured the game was over and went back to playing...oops.
Hmmm... totally missed that.Quote:

Normally a long shot but the way that the defenses were playing today not out of the realm of possibility either. That way they could have tried for a long field goal at the end of regulation if they had been able to pickup 25-30 yards.
And I too was confused with Arizona's choice to try the field goal with 14 seconds left from 34 yards out. I think that *ANY* yards gained would have progressively increased the probability of the field goal going through. Maybe even progressively increasing the kickers confidence. The distance of 34 yards out is no "gimme"... not to say that it's exceedingly hard either... just saying that with plenty of time on the clock and timeouts that they could have easily moved up 5-10 more yards making it much more likely.
Well, they couldn't have settled for anything less than a TD at that point. They were out of timeouts. Fourteen seconds leaves enough time for an incomplete or a TD, nothing more, nothing less. They wouldn't have had time to put the fg unit on with a completion of 5-10 yards.Quote:

The score was tied with 14 seconds left in the game. You are right about the timeouts. I thought that Arizona had at least one left. They had time for at least one more play though. Which could have been a slant out, a quick out, an out, or even a deep out. Which with a 5-10 yard gain (or more) would have potentially made all the difference in the world for the winning field goal in regulation. Max pass protection, and telling Warner that with any doubt... just throw it away to that sideline.Quote:
