The NFL playoffs start today so make your $hit Vegas losing calls here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3-eavMSBnk&feature=related :eek:
I didn't grow up on football, so somebody expert explain this to me from the risk/reward point of view: New Orleans is down 7 pts in the 4th quarter and they are 6 or so yards away from TD with 4th and 2. These morons go for a kick making 3 points. There was only 5-6 mins left. The obvious play to me would have been a 4th try for a TD, because the upside would have been making the game even, and if they don't succeed they are still down just by 7 pts. The time wasn't enough for hoping to make two 3-3 pts kicks from the field, so to catch up or win they still needed a TD anyway. At that point they pretty much lost the game, when they called for the wrong play... Unless I am missing something...
6 minutes in the NFL is a very long time, especially if there are timeouts left. 4th and 2 is low odds, so you get 3, trust your defense after the kickoff, and get another possession. If you go for it and don't get it, you're giving Seattle a chance to make it a 2 score game.
I was glad to see the PACK win......too bad even Joe Webb can beat Philly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPzg52JPUVI
