Strange Penalty Call: Comitting an "unatural act"


The Dean

Recommended Posts

Actually the penalty was called because they had a huge circle jerk around Teddy and his friggin wife.

They were supposed to wait until half time for that therefore making it unatural.

There's been some funny things said over the last 48 Bruschi hours but that one actually had me LMAO.

Anyone see how open McGahee was on that series when he checked down & threw to Shelton?

If he saw & threw to Willis instead it could possibly have been 7. No one was near him! <_<

Can't say on a family board, but it involved two girl scouts, a German Shepherd, saran warp, and a quart of vegetable oil.

 

<_<  That was a weird call...

That's only a 5 yarder. The flagrant 15 yard version involves George Takai

My buddy called me (drunk) at halftime from LA.  He asked, "Dean, do we keep running in the second half, or is it time to put the ball up?"  My response (surprise) was, "We keep running.  The runs that didn't give us much in the first half will yeild yardage as the day goes on.  Trust me, we're in the lead and need to RUN!"

 

Well, when we ran, I was right.  Then the passes started...ugh.

Actually...the first drive of the second half, we put the ball up. We scored 7 on a 55-yard TD pass. From then on, we ran 18 times and passed 13, scoring 6 more points. I'm not picking a fight with you. I agree this team needs to run most of the time - as we did, but there are times where you need to pass. And we didn't execute those times well enough. Anyone else notice NE outgained us on running plays 4.2-3.8?

 

And the unnatural acts, so a family walks into a talent agency...

Or at any point after the first drive.

Anyone else notice the disconcerting habit this team has of playing steadily worse the later it gets in the game?    :)

Maybe next year Mularkey should amend his t-shirts...this year's only said "Start Fast". Maybe next year's could say "Start Fast and don't slow down". He could even use the same shirts, just print on the back.....

I know we scored on a pass (a by-product of the amt of running we did in the first half). You are correct that we did not execute the pass well when we needed to (the last pass, for example). My point was we passed when it was unnecessary. We were ahead in the game (thanks in part to the 55 yard TD pass) and we needed to REALLY keep the ball on the ground. There was NO reason to pass on the play where KH threw the INT. (BTW, I called it i advance of the play. I said "we'll do something stupid like pass and turn it over."...or something to that effect.) And we didn't need to pas when KH got hit and fumbled.

 

At that point in the game this team did not need to be balanced. They needed to be over-the-top all run. That's all I'm saying.
