30dive Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm happy, I'm happy....really I am......But does anyone else out there feel like vomiting (like I do) everytime our D faces a 3rd and lets say 12 or 17 or 36? It seems to me that we give up alot of first downs when facing these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball'n Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 thats just it. i would rather have then run on 3rd and short and get decked than pass on 3rd and long and hook up on the longpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 But does anyone else out there feel like vomiting (like I do) everytime our D faces a 3rd and lets say 12 or 17 or 36? It seems to me that we give up alot of first downs when facing these situations. I was actually wondering today if we were among the worst teams in getting the stop when we have teams in long yardage situations; although I think more of those conversions have come on 1st/2nd down than on 3rd. What really drove me nuts is all the defensive penalties on 3rddown today. I don't know how many conversions we ended up handing them but that drives me crazier than almost anything else on a football field and this year our defense seems to have a knack for drawing those calls.
