Good point - I guess I could live with that if we won 63-17! It's never happened before yet both times I'm hearing Bob Wischusen talk about the TD that's just been scored. I'm thinking 'WTF happened there?' before realising it's time to cheer!
Hangtime can be important--a 50 yard punt with crappy hang time is often rerturned 20 yards, which means it wasnt a good punt. But it is mostly irrelevant if the punt isnt returned.
Denver is known for using smaller linemen to handle the endurance issues of playing at Mile High stadium, I wonder if these smaller linemen handle poor footing better.
