DC Tom Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Morons. Sudden death OT, Houston's on Washington's 36, 53 yard field goal wins it...so they line up for a punt, AND take the delay of game to get the extra five yards of space? And get a net 19 yards on the punt. Seriously??? Idiots. Dick Jauron-like idiots. Houston deserves to lose, just for that stupid call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 houston won what now DC TOM You !@#$ing bastard. I read that as they were lining up for the FG on my TV. They still deserved to lose for that cringing, cowardly call. They just didn't. You don't always get what you deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lucked out because it worked. Now, it'll give other coaches the motivation to do it. The Bills coaches won't have to worry about it though since they'll probably never be that close.

Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I guess you'd have to weight the percentages, the odds that Rackers makes a 53 yarder (which he hasn't done since 2004 and i'm sure Kubiak knows his kickers range better than us) vs. the odds that Washington can move the ball 25 yds and get into field goal range themselves.

Yes, but he did it against the Redskins, so fug 'em. Plus, Houston is in my top 3 for 'new team to root for' once the Bills get demoted to the NCAA level.

Stealth Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I disagree. I think it was the right call. If you know the limitations of your kicker, and for all intents and purposes, Neil Rackers is an aging kicker, who doesn't have the accuracy anymore. Why risk allowing washington to have great field position. It was gutsy, but it ended up working out in their favor. Yes I realize Washington caught a break with a tacky penalty, than McNabb moved the ball a bit, than the time out on the skins fg sequence. However still the ball ended up back in the hands of Matt Schaub, and the Texans won. At the end of the day hats off to them. P.S I actually thought the sequence of calling rushing plays on their game winning fg drive was worse than not going for the fg the previous time out.

HurlyBurly51 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hmmmm....Shanahan had the same decision to make on the ensuing drive, and elected to kick the 52 yarder. His kicker even got iced, and they missed, giving Houston great field position for the drive that would win them the game. Seems to have worked out well for Houston.

Tampa is my "other" team. At least they're playing decent ball thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralonzo Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I think that's the first time I've ever seen that work, where the kicker makes the first one that's negated by the TO, and misses the "real" one. So, to the Kubiak bashers that complain about his gaining 19 yards of field position on the punt. With those yards, Gano has 33 instead of 52 (just like Rackers had 35 instead of 53, as was rightly pointed out above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) That was an absolutely horrendous call. Not debatable really. Like a hundred times worse than Bellichicks call in Indy last year. If Rackers is unlikely to make the kick then go for it - they only needed 4 yards and the offense was humming. The punt actually netted 14 yards btw when you factor in the intentional delay of game. To everyone saying "it worked" - GMAFB. I really hope you're not the same guy who accuses people of criticizing coaching decisions "because it didn't work; if it worked you wouldn't say anything, blah blah". I guess if you score a 2pt conversion in a tie game that's the right call too as long as you make it.

KD in CA Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Coaches have been trying to ice the kicker for as long as I can remember. But now instead of calling the TO when the kicking is in the huddle, the coach waits till they line up. What's the big deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
