Why do players INTERCEPT The ball on 4th down.

And then celebrate what is effectively a big loss yards

You should always bat it down
Not always. But when you're diving for it, yes

I don't know.

intercepting the ball on 4th down seems like it is always the wrong move

It is a pet peeve of mine. There is almost no upside.

The chargers should have made the Superbowl one year were it not for the dreaded 4th down INT..and then fumble it back.

If you jump a route and have a pick 6 in front of you. You better try to catch it

That's not how you pooch. You roll it short. Anything around the ten yard line is gold.

Keep running it.

So what if Baylor stacks the box, Texas is blowing them back even vs 8 men fronts

The only time the offense stalls is when they get pass happy

I hate when a defensive team makes a big play, and it is nullified by an offensive false start

That seems counter to the spirit of penalties

I would not have gone for it this early and with Texas not functioning on offense. Make them go the long field.

The whistle blew. There is no play. Half the ppl who hear the whistle stop playing.

Wow. That was a real football pass play for once. Not some jump ball. And we fuck it in the end

El Texan you are cracking me up. What's your closest pharmacy. I'm calling in 4mg of Valium for you, AND I'm going to throw in a Xanax kicker. The kicker will be a surprise. You'll love it. Down it with a couple of shots of Jack Daniels, and none of this will matter. Don't worry about not remembering anything tomorrow. That's the point.

:welcome:
