We're not sleeping on this one (vs. Rams).

[QuebecCard]

People tend not to feel the need to write down the blindingly obvious. You won't find many books telling you the sky is blue.

No, but you'll find more than a few scientific texts explaining rayleigh scattering.

What's 'blindingly obvious' is this harangue stems from the improbable result of the play.

Sunday's 109-yard TD return of a FG try is the second in the NFL 100-year history.

In other words, before this game, there was negligible data in support of a likely return of this attempt for a TD.

I actually think we're going to have to run the ball to win this game. If you watched the Cowboys last night and GB against SF both teams when the defense was 2 high safeties they ran the ball or threw underneath. When they made 1 safety walk up or in the case of SF when SF went man, they threw the ball. As K9 said the Rams on defense are determined to not give up big plays so we can throw but Kyler can't get greedy forcing the ball downfield he has to take the layups. And in that situation many of those layups are going to be runs.

I do think we're going to have to do more stuff with Rondale, jet sweeps etc to stretch their defense. I see a middle screen to Maxx, TB ran one for a TD to Gronk in an earlier game they ran the exact same play against the rams and the LB basically tackled Gronk and got away with it so Brady couldn't get him the ball. I think it's something the Rams do on defense that leaves that play open at times.

TB lost because they couldn't stop the Rams and because they couldn't run the ball early they got frustrated and started throwing more which worked until they got down 2 scores and then it really didn't. Brady is the master of getting it out early to stop the pass rush, Kyler is going to have to do that if you hold it against this team you're not going to get huge plays downfield anyways you have to take the open guys don't get greedy.

Brady played really well and still ONLY put up 24 the Rams are good.

Yeh,figger were in for a good old fashioned Ass Kickin’ just praying just praying we can get out of it with no serious injury’s.

 

[Arz101]

Can we all pretend there is no Cardinals game this Sunday and be surprised when they are 3-1 on Monday morning...like.... did the Cardinals play?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

What happens every year? Teams favored get beat by far lesser teams. Every year.

They do. But so far not mcvay teams against the cardinals. Until we prove otherwise the 100% trend is the most likely outcome.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Y’all seriously have some issues. Matthew Stafford has not stopped being Matthew Stafford just because he plays for a big market now, no matter what the media harlots pining for major market clicks want you to believe.

No he just has better talent abd better coaching. What? Those things make a difference?

 

[Russ Smith]

No, but you'll find more than a few scientific texts explaining rayleigh scattering.

What's 'blindingly obvious' is this harangue stems from the improbable result of the play.

Sunday's 109-yard TD return of a FG try is the first in the NFL 100-year history and is tied with two other returns (punt, int.) for the longest play in NFL's 100-year history.

In other words, before this game, there was "O" data in support of a likely return of this attempt for a TD.

Nostradamus has nothing on you, my friend.

Be honest when we lined up to kick it did you not think to yourself if he misses short Agnew might run this all the way back?

I know I did.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We're going to win this one on a 67 yd FG by Prater, and the next day we'll have reams of copy about KK making the wrong call.

Lol

 

[QuebecCard]

Honest?

I knew that if he missed there would be a return to cover.

Could I easily conceive that he'd run it back 109 yards to set a record?

No... because it had happened once before in the 100 years of NFL football.

In what passage of the football Bible would I find this quote from the great coach in the sky?

The one written by a smart coach in the sky who understands risk/reward equations.

And yet I’ll bet the oddsmakers would’ve favored TD return over increasing an nfl record by 4 yards.

The one written by a smart coach in the sky who understands risk/reward equations.

So you can't conceive of a new 68-yard record FG (on a day when a new 66-yard record was established) but can somehow imagine a 109-yard record return of the miss for a TD?

(If you want to say that one is worth 3 pts and the other 7 pts, and this is the basis for your risk/reward equation... fine.)

Oddsmakers are simply in the business of sucking money out of punters, spreading the risk, and collecting the vig.

Justin Hollins will be out long term and he has been one of their better pass rushers this year.

Chris Davis is going to drop back into the end zone in single safety. Well, I guess if this thing comes up short he can field it and run it out. Alright, here we go. 56-yarder, it's got—no, it does not have the leg. And Chris Davis takes it in the back of the end zone. He'll run it out to the 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 45—There goes Davis! (White shouts "Oh my God! Oh my God!") Davis is going to run it all the way back! Auburn's gonna win the football game! AUBURN'S GONNA WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME! He ran the missed field goal back! He ran it back 109 yards! [fans streaming onto the field] They're not gonna keep them off the field tonight! Holy Cow! Oh, my God! Auburn wins! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl! Auburn has won the Iron Bowl in the most unbelievable fashion you will ever see! I cannot believe it! 34–28! And we thought 'A Miracle in Jordan-Hare' was amazing! Oh, my Lord in Heaven!' Chris Davis just ran it 109 yards and Auburn is going to the championship game![55]

And it has happened in the NFL before.

The first one is a 109 return.

The second one was the Bears / Cardinals against Brucie.

The third one is Devin Hester on Sunday Night Football.

The 4th one is Tampa against the Lions.

The 5th one is Devin Hester for 108 yards

The 6th one was the Ravens Chris McCalister against the Broncos

So we were lucky number 7.

Nostra something

Right... COLLEGE, not in the NFL's 100-year history.

Your VIDEO is blocked but I would imagine it is NOT a 109-yard return of a FG try.

Crazy.

The fact it has happened twice to same franchise is a special kind of stupid

Just click on it instead of being so stubbornly incorrect.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Honest?

No... because it had NEVER happened in 100 years of NFL football.

So those of us that believed that more likely than hitting a 68 yard FG - something also never done in NFL history - must be just a tad more clever than you.

Jaguars kick-six TD: Cardinals allow score on missed 68-yard FG - Sports Illustrated

The Jaguars carried some serious momentum into the locker room on Sunday after returning a kick-six touchdown to close the first half.

www.si.com

Agnew's return tied the NFL record for the longest return touchdown in NFL history, and the broadcast of Sunday's matchup added an extra dose of excitement. Fox broadcaster Gus Johnson turned up the decibel level in a major way on the touchdown, adding another classic call in what is emerging as a legendary career.

No he is just spouting incorrect stats. It has happened multiple times. I immediately knew Hester did it at least once.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

So you can't conceive of a new 68-yard record FG (on a day when a new 66-yard record was established) but can somehow imagine a 109-yard record return of the miss for a TD?

(If you want to say that one is worth 3 pts and the other 7 pts, and this is the basis for your risk/reward equation... fine.)

Well, when you consider that 109 yard returns for TD have occurred - just not on a FG. And that it was a premier kick returner back there waiting. And that not only had no one ever made a 68 yarder, but the guy who earlier set the record - a whole TWO YARDS SHORTER than 68 - only made it by doinking it over the crossbar . . . YEAH THAT SEEMED A HELLAVA LOT MORE LIKELY.

Lol. It wasn’t part of my equation, but thanks for bolstering the argument!
