1:13 remaining in the game at their own 17 with no time-outs and Brady takes them downfield for the winning FG. I would agree with your "game manager" comment if Brady took a knee in that situation, just like John Madden said he should.
I'm really confused by this and don't have time to dig into it right now. Are you being sarcastic or something?
He's lucky the refs didn't call him for the obvious intentional grounding when he was still in the pocket on that drive. I agree w/you btw, I was being sarcastic.
what does that have to do w/ anything? you are assuming they settle for 51 when they had a TO and 30 seconds left. The game would have played out the same except we wouldn't have had a TO to call w/ 3 secs left, we would have spiked the ball instead.
yes you are definitely right. But surprisingly the Jets kicker says something different. But I know that you know more than Folk. We were trying to center the ball for me," Folk said. "Get it off the hash mark." http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14526776/colts-coaching-decision-proves-fatal-and-mystifying
The TO called by Caldwell made no difference. The Jets had just run a play right up the middle. They were right there and in no-huddle mode. They run another play after that and then they call their 3rd timeout and try the field goal. It's not like they were out of time outs and couldn't stop the clock. There were 29 seconds on the clock, more than enough time to get off a play and then stop the clock for the field goal attempt. But thanks for pointing out that Sanchez not only completed the pass to Braylon Edwards when he had too, he also called the play. Nice way to buttress the Sanchez is a clutch leader argument. And BTW, having read that: how the fuck did Mike Tannenbaum let Sanchez and Edwards get split up in the off-season last year? Rex wanted to run the ball for a 50 yard FG. Edwards said "wait a minute are we trying to win this game?" Schotty had a nice safe slant in mind. Sanchez said "wait a minute are we trying to win this game?" And then the two of them went out and won the game. Jeez...
Bledsoe replaced Brady right before halftime and threw a TD right before half. In the 2nd half, Pats scored on a long punt return by Troy Brown and had a 60-yard return on a blocked punt putting up the Pats final 10 points. To say Bledsoe "won" that AFCCG would be stretching it.
Good thing. There is nothing worse than having your qb fumble and hand the other team 7 points in the biggest game of the year.
you are right. Winner yes as Folk said they would have run a draw play up the middle and called a timeout.
he wasn't fortunate to have his fumble recovered by his team unlike Eli the other day. absolutely b/c we know Nick Folk called all the plays!
No, they wouldn't have called timeout until they were ready to bring the kicker on the field. Too dangerous to call a play with no timeouts left unless it was the kick. What they would have done is run another play off and then called the timeout. What that play would have resulted in is anybody's guess but the Colts had already given up 169 yards on the ground and so the odds are pretty good the Jets would have gotten some positive yards out of it. Reading the stories I'm also thinking they have a lot of hyperbole in them. Nobody sets up a looong FG with 29 seconds left on the clock and a timeout in the tank. Not even Rex Ryan. You're not going to sit on a 51 yard FG and watch the clock run down to kick it. Rex would have been a laughingstock if the Jets missed a FG that long that he chose.
keep switching calls. Yeah its all luck. Yes you know more than Nick Folk and Mike Periera lol.:drunk:
w/ 29 secs left a TO is a good call. There's plenty of time to run 2 more plays and spike the ball. There's no way they were settling for a 51 yd FG.
