Game Thread: Week 2: Seattle Seahawks @ New England Patriots

Look for NE to just run it down our throats. Gotta clean up the tackling. Now is the time for the defense to show up.

They trust Geno so little that they couldn't even try to get in FG range on a quick deep route.

Nice

That seemed weird... how could there been a downside to try to get into FG range

And for the love of God, don't leave Henry unmarked.

Ok, Captain Hindsight

thats really not hindsight many of us thought it was stupid BEFORE the stuff. It's called playing smart. Coming out of the Half you take the points. I get trying to draw them offsides but nah man you got to kick the field goal to go up 7.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Well, here comes our first OT in the MacDonald era, boys.

Odds are that ends in a FG, so we'd still have a chance

I know you said that at the time; my point is that there is no chance that kicking the FG there was for certain the right decision. I guarantee you that anyone that uses "advanced metrics" to analyze the right move would have their math tell you going for it gave the best probability of a win. That still doesn't make that the right decision, either.... you jackass

Okay, agree to disagree. Point being I wasn't the one teasing others like you calling me Peteonabicycle and Pete disciple... anyway, whatever - it's been a frustrating second half and I was likely annoying people by constantly not shutting up about it.

Anyway, let's just end it and move on. Let's hope we win in OT!

And the wasted TO just trying to draw them off sides before their FG.

Too many coaching blunders IMO.

What!

They have no chance of winning this!

Obviously!

Have you forgot your role?

See my response to him. Saying " see, I was right" when there was no definitive "right" is still hindsight. Even a FG there, now knowing we missed the 4th and go for it, doesn't come close to guaranteeing we win the game.

 

[Screamin12th]

Starting at the 30 is such BS, 25 I can understand but the 30 is just to much.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

That final play was weird... at least take a shot? Hopefully draw a flag? Maybe Mac was just too worried about the chance of an INT at midfield or a sack/fumble he just figured we could take it in OT as the D seems to be fired up at the moment.

Oh uhh right... SEATTLE WILL FUCK UP THIS OT! Sorry Wizard, I've been off, today.

 

[blstoker]

Nice job D

 

[MrS]

Nice 3 and out a return would be nicebhere

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

That was almost a disaster

 

[blstoker]

Special teams making my heart skip.

 

[Screamin12th]

That was almost a disaster.

guess im a little delayed.

 

[blstoker]

Just any score for the Hawks here.

 

[kcden]

Nice catch by Dee there, but I'm gonna say the same thing we said in the stands last week: why is this no name defensive back on the team at all, let-alone our punt returner, particularly after that stupid fucking fumble last week?
