Was the Onside Kick an actual attempt?

I might be nit picking after a win but was that an actual attempt?

No it was a joke and frankly an embarrassing attempt.

My thought was that maybe they were just trying to squib it down there to give Detroit bad field position. In that was the case, it worked. But, I may be giving them too much credit. A legit onside kick has the danger of one of the up men taking it to the house for the other team.

That kick was merely an attempt to place the ball in the hands of someone other than Agnew’s who was a threat to take the ball to the house due to our hideous special team’s kick coverage.

Clearly none of you guys understand how difficult an onside kick is these days

Exactly what it was. Designed play.

Is this a joke? Hahahahaha bc it's a really dumb statement

The truth is that was exactly what you should do in that situation. Woulda been nice to see a little more english on the ball but it was the perfect depth and speed for the situation just didn't have the right kinda bounce. Left them inside the 20 just like you would want to.

Squib as someone said to not allow the returner to touch it. Also to “maybe” have it hit off of a defender. It was a good low risk smart play.

The iq in this thread is low

remdak · Nov 17, 2019

You don't want that to happen

Nope. Sorry it went over your head BJs.

Why squib when kicking off from 35? I think onside would be more effective

It wasn't a squib..don't listen to that nonsense

Good lord.

They used the 35 yard line spot to force a timeout and pin the Lions deeper than a touchback.

That was a freaking clinic on calling and executing exactly the right play in that situation.

Because you pin deeper with a squib?

Onside recoveries are almost impossible under the new rules.

AbeBeta · Nov 17, 2019

Someone pin this thread.

A great example of the low football IQ of this board.

An excellent play. Smart decisions.

sunalsorises · Nov 18, 2019

It was more like a safety onside kick. The goal was to pin them and if Detroit misplayed it the ball is just sitting there for a recovery.

I thought this was pretty obvious
