Re: plan for in-game injury to the kicker

This a dumb thread. You hire the best guy at kicking that you can get and the best guy at punting that you can get. You don't hire someone that is not quite the best but can do both in the 0.1% chance that a kicker gets hurt. Where in the thread is this crossover signing being advocated? What's dum...

It’s not Tomlin’s fault? Really? yertle-the-turtle coach :lol: :lol: :lol: Yes he is responsible for the play call but not the injury.

Re: plan for in-game injury to the kicker

15 years ago. I believe it was the last play of Flutie's career. The last one before him was 1940's. The dropkick was pretty much phased out when the shape of the ball changed.

Placekicking and punting are different skills. Only one is kicking off the ground. Crossovers are a rarity.

Ugh.... :(
It’s the regular MNF crew.
They seem to struggle to talk about relevant things. And they are often wrong. MNF crew has gone down hill.
They are terrible and yet an enormous improvement over Booger, Whitten and the wretched Tessitore.

Most NFL teams have designated emergency kickers. In recent history some have been famous (or infamous) - Suh, Wes Welker. Ochocinco, Dropkick Flutie, others occupy lower profile roster spots.

To not have someone ready to give a placekick a shot in an NFL game is not the standard. If you will.

There’s one team with no holes.

They are called the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and they are head and shoulders above the rest (Cardinals will come back down to earth).

Packers are the only team as close.

For as trash as the line was from the beginning of the season, he was getting a pass there from me.

Not sure where folks were getting JAG/poor ca...

There was that, but there were also those claiming his effort/performance were subpar for someone drafted in any round. He improves every game.

I haven't seen much lately from those bemoaning the first round selection of JAG Najee Harris. Slow, not powerful enough, can't catch, can't block, low energy. Where you at Fake Colberts?

Re: Door slammers Wk 8 Browns

Joe Schobert was the guy that made the definitive door slamming play yesterday with that forced fumble. The Browns were about to score there, and Schobert came through, with an assist from Watt in making sure that didn't happen. I think locking up Schobert long term should be on the short list of t...

It's a logical fallacy to judge the worthiness of a decision by the result.

Re: Does the Big Ben Revenge Tour start today?

Re: Other games during the bye week 10/24

And that is why I continue to say Lamar will never win a super bowl. He is very effective when the other team has to worry about stopping the run. But let the Ravens get into a position where the other team doesn't have to worry about the run and can just focus on stopping the pass? Forget about it...
