That’s close

 

[Moab]

They're going to say no catch


0 for 1 tonight

 

[Xeliou66]

Very very close play there, I’m not sure whether that’s a catch or not, I think the call stands it’s so close, so it will likely stay a catch, great job by Collins.

 

[Xeliou66]

Call stands.

 

[bksballer89]

wow kickers are amazing

 

[Xeliou66]

Fairbairn drills the 59 yarder!! 16-10 Texans now. Great job by the Texans to get points there.

Fairbairn is a stud.

That's the thing about this new kickoff rule is it gives you a great chance to score points late if you are starting a drive at your own 30 instead of 20 or 25. You roughly need 25-28 yards to get into range for most kickers

Yah kickers and kickoff specialists are going to see their value skyrocket with the new rules. I personally hate it... for example, Seattle today kicked off, the offense went 3 and out for New England... and Seattle wound up at their own 15 yard line (granted it was a great punt) while New England was from their 30 yard line the whole time.. bullshit IMO.

I think with kickers booting further than ever... it's just best to eliminate it all together and ever team gets the ball at the 20 or 25..

Geeez.

With the new kickoff rule, can the kicker spot the tee at the hash? Or does it have to be middle of the field?

I think you're going to see more and more teams elect to take the ball to start the game. Most of the kicks I've seen have been in the end zone, so starting at the 30. If you go 3 and out, a good punter should be able to put your opponent in worse field position to start the game.

Nico Collins is a player.

i no...i am late

 

[Moab]

and we're back for the 2nd half

 

[Moab]

3 and out for the Bears to start the 2nd half...and of course a commercial break

Is the commercial about the side effects of having your dick fall off and getting diseases no one has heard about?

Haha. Not watching the game. Enough football for today.

Same. I mean let's say you go 3 and out but are punting near the 40... you're going to give your opponent a huge field disadvantage. I guess it goes both ways since the opposing team gets the ball after halftime, but getting score early on is more important IMO.
