On the fumble that broke my remote to start the 2nd half

[JIGGYFLY]

Why does the Center HAVE to make the line calls anyway? Why can't a guard be assigned to that duty?

Because the guard cannot see the other side of the line.

Because the guard cannot see the other side of the line.

Yeah he can. He can't see it as good as the center but I'll take a line call from Rivera (who can't see as well as the center) over Gurode anyday.

The guard is lined up slightly below the centers level on the line, blocking his line of vision on the opposite side of the line, but yea he can make some of the calls but its not the best position to call from.

We are discussing a DT getting to the football before the RB - I'm getting ill again.

How do you figure Bledsoe even knew the DT was there? He was looking back to hand the ball off... he wasn't looking at the DL.

He was hanging onto Bledsoe for a few seconds before he brought him down.

Load of crap. He had ahold of bledsoe for ONE second, tops. "A few seconds" my arse. How long do you think plays last?

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Bledsoe is generally one of the harder QB's to bring down.
I dont have Tivo, but I remember him being held by whats his face and not going down right away.

 

[Rack]

It was less then a second from the time he was touched by Clancy to when he tried to hand it off.

I agree, it wasn't long, but effective. He grabbed Bledsoes arm preventing it from fully extending into JJ's belly.

I know it was Gurodes fault hands down. But was it me or did JJ not take the handoff and then just kept going? He could of at least made the tackle on Pierce. Our D is nice in the red zone, we could got away with jsut 3 there (or a missed FG) Which would of changed the whole approach in the 4th quarter and maybe things fall a different way

I don't throw things...I just resort to drinking more. Kicking my dog helps sometimes...but he doesn't play with me that much anymore...
