4_kidd_4 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Is this a “get off my lawn” contest or something? Why is it so impossible to fathom that some people had a fantastic time while experiencing one of the more unique home games in the history of the franchise? Why is it also so hard to fathom that some people go to the games for the camaraderie, the tailgate routine and the experience of just being there? Yeah X’s and O’s are cool, but in my opinion not the be all, end all of how I enjoy home games. I like quirks. I like the unexpected. I like CFL football and classic 1-0 NHL goaltender duels. You guys still wanna hang onto and carry on about Joe Webb and botched play call months after the fact, then have at it. Not gonna prevent me from hanging onto a great memory that I shared with a some of my closest friends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly enjoyed the season from start to finish. 15 hour drive after a loss in j-ville be damned. LOL. I bought in at 5-2. I held on hope going into arrowhead when McDermott made the switch back and then again going into week 17 and all the way down to duval county. I live in the moment. I don't do the whole "i'm not buying in yet" BS... and that made this season the most enjoyable one ive ever had as an invested adult in the franchise. I made 5 games this year. that one didn't happen to be one of them and its bittersweet because 2 of my best buddies basically sum it up as saying it was totally awesome but they really don't care to ever deal with it again. for me i'd have to say the most perfect experience I've had weather-wise so far was in 16 vs the steelers. obviously the outcome sucked but it was just the most awesome dry snowfall all day to tailgate and watch a game in. the stadium looked so crisp that day. really cool.

4_kidd_4 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I gotcha Stank, no worries man. Just humorous to me some of the “yeah buts”. Same type of people that like to point out, for example, that wrestling is fake. Or watch a superhero movie and say things like “psh that couldn’t really happen”.

Misterbluesky Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 No thanks..the winter has been long enough here.I've seen enough snow to last me until next november. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I think it was actually pretty momentum building that game that is. They only lost the one time in the regular season after that (of course with help from NYC headquarters). The snow added to the playoff push I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Watching right now the decision to punt on 4th and 1 with 4:13 left in OT. Still one of the worst coaching decisions in the annals of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean McDermott was quoted saying that he made the call, because he didn't want to lose, and was ok with tying this game. He got lucky that Indy wasn't able to move on the following drive, and that the colts had an incomplete pass, which stopped the clock. Just because they won, doesn't mean it was the right call. When they finally got the ball back, it was 20 yards lost from where the ball previously was, and half the time left on the clock to score.

There are no style points in coaching decisions. They're good if they work and bad if they don't. Its not that complicated.

All this stats and big data analysis has made some of y'all clueless What other teams have done against other teams over the last X years has ZERO impact on how 1 play is gonna go. Its like making your roulette bet by looking at the last 20 winning numbers Again, I'll take a coach that makes his decisions based on game conditions and how his team is playing as opposed to one blindly following the Domdab99 flow chart. AND it worked AND we won AND made the playoffs. Good call coach. Its hard to argue with results, but you will anyway.
