Got the win but has a team ever ran a 1-yard loss kneel-down before a 47 yard GW field goal attempt?

It's football season!!
He probably thought they'd give us a good spot and first down

I blame the miss on Dawson. He has been there before. He was able to make it up in the end with help from HB.

He needs to make that kick but you have to go forward in that situation.

I agree. Makes no sense .... What about the play calling after the big play to golden. Making play calls like we were down 17 instead of tied

So glad he made the OT kick. I was beginning to think this was going to end up like last years tie with Seattle.

Obviously it was for placement and Dawson's misses have both been around 30yrds, so there's probably more confidence farther away.

Chargers just did the same thing taking a 1-yard loss from 45 yards out and they miss it LMAO.

The blocking on the right side of the line is letting rushers get in his peripheral vision. That distracts kickers. He should still have made the kick, but the line could do their job better.
I love you BA, but I have to ask. Why do you not kick a field goal to get on the board? Points are a premium on the road and not taking those points nearly cost us the game.
Also, and this is much more perplexing. Why not kick the FG on third down? A bad snap would allow us to just fall on the ball and line up again. I understand it might have left 5 or 6 seconds on the clock but it makes no sense to kneel for a 1 yard loss.

I have no problem with him going for it.

I don't have a problem with it, as long as the play call isn't a fade which hasn't worked in like 3 years.

Yep!
I still say the short 1 he missed last week would've been blocked had he not slightly pulled it left. I truly believe Dawson did it intentionally or saw the flash in his vision as you say.

Didn't it also set up the next series which we got 3? If they were not backed up there who know what happens, with our ST they may have returned it for 6. That being said I'm a conservative type and would have kicked it as well.

You know the Colts without Luck aren't going to score much, so you take the points, especially early. Luckily (just like going for 2), giving away points didn't cost this team a W. There's a time & a place for gambling & possibly giving up points, the 1st half IMO isn't the time.

Arians was trying to give the offense some much needed confidence and momentum. No one would have complained if Larry would have looked for the ball earlier and made the catch.
I liked the move. If they didn't make it, which they didn't, indys offense is pinned and at that point, there's a chance for a safety, or get great field position with a 3 and out.
Me either however I didnt like the playcall.

arians showed his loyalty again today during his press conference
praised veterans as usual, probably will give them some resting days even if they dont need

Yeah but that was scheduled a month ago.
I thought the throw was crappy, it should have been over Fitz's left shoulder and instead ended up short and floating away from him. Terrible throw by Palmer. Never gave Fitz a chance to catch it.

The defender pulled Fitz's left arm back so he had to try to make a 1 handed catch. It wasn't a great throw, but I think he catches it if he could've used both hands.
