Not the way the game was progressing. Seattle was getting that same chance anyway, after the 3 pts fieldgoal. Their lead was 4 pts and they were on the offense. And anyway, what is the guarantee that NO doesn't end up the same way at the end of their next offense? Close to the endzone with a 4th down, but with way less time remaining??? I can understand when teams go for the kick in the 1st quarter, plenty of time remaining in the game but when the math says you should take the risk, take the risk. Pure trading by the way...
It was a tough week for picking football, looking back at the INDY, and NEW Orleans game i cant see any way you could have taken either the seahawks or the jets, im in a playoff draft, where you have to pick who is going to win each game and out of 16 people in the draft every single person except 1 missed those 2 games, and this guy only managed to get the Jets right. Eagles should have won that game, 2 missed field goals, and celek stepping out of bounds on the 2 point convert killed them. No surprise with the Ravens game i fully expected them to roll. It should be the Packers or the Falcons in the NFC, in the AFC its still up in the air, it could be the Steelers, Ravens, or New England.
I know, I suck at picking football, big time, when you compare my picks to the point spreads for the week it looks even worse, i think New Orleans was a 10 point favourite.
That call where Celek stepped out of the end zone then back in, caught the ball but was incmpl because of it and they almost called it incomplete where Phi wouldn't have gotten the do over if "somebody" who actually knew the rules didn't come in at the last second and get it right was bullshit. Get a guy with the equivalent of Wikipedia for the rules on a laptop with a headset comm. with the field. Think they practise so a call can be blown because " ....we weren't sure of the procedure boss" ...and in the playoffs. WTF. I know they lost anyway. Doesn't change it.
