11/22: Broncos at Bears, noon on CBS

[Guest]

Miller is good, but Leno isn't

[SpongeWorthy]

Most of the early games are breaking our way too

[Ryne Ween]

Why did they call timeout at 2:12.

 

That was really stupid.

osweiler gives himself up and gets hit, risky

they better get a play off before the two minute warning

What do you mean? 1 TO with 2:12 left (essentially 2 TOs left bc of the 2 min warning) or 2 TOs with 2:00 left

[Soul]

What?

[SpongeWorthy]

These camera angles are terrible

[SpongeWorthy]

Not gonna get excited expecting the worst on this conversion

[Careless]

This season has been more fun than I expected

[SpongeWorthy]

Gase getting high on the smell of his own farts

[Soul]

Absolutely nothing there

[jersey cubs fan]

If you call that play, spread them out a little, don't bunch up all the receivers inside the hash

[UMFan83]

We win. Oh wait Fox didn't kick that FG

[SpongeWorthy]

Don't even take their last time out lol

[Soul]

We win. Oh wait Fox didn't kick that FG

Yeah I want him to take more chances, but...

[UMFan83]

Congrats Fox, your dumb decision cost you the win against the team that dumped your ass last year

[UMFan83]

Funny that the Bears could easily be 7-3 or almost just as easily 1-9

i wasn't going to bother the first time you said it, but since this makes twice...

 

who is to say any of that would've played out the same had he kicked, especially since not kicking resulted in them getting the ball where they did?

 

it probably wouldn't have.

 

going for the TD was fine.

[SpongeWorthy]

Falcons, Skins, Eagles, all lose. Rams in danger of losing. Would've been a big W.

[Soul]

Almost every week is fun to watch, so there's that

[Guest]

if you wanna pick at something, it's the decision to punt from like the 45 on 4th and short...but people won't because something else didn't happen right after it Edited November 22, 2015 by David

coaches choosing TDs over FGs should always be celebrated regardless of the situation

[Soul]

It was as reasonable to try the FG; it makes a potential later TD drive a chance for a win.

 

What hurts most is seeing how easy Cutty could have run it in

Yes yes butterfly effect. That comment was mostly emotional reaction but I definitely don't think going for a TD was fine there.

 

If it was a 7 point game fine, if they were 1-2 yards out fine. But it was an 8 point game and 4 yards out. If they kick a FG the following happens:

 

-An opponent FG keeps it a 1 possession game

-if you stop them you can win with a TD

 

but if you fail to convert, you are left with needing a TD and 2 pointer and any opponent score ends the game.

 

The Bears were in a spot on the field where it's probably too far to run it, so you are looking to score against the best secondary in the NFL.

 

I'd like to see the probability chart or whatever it is for sure because I'm obviously not certain if I'm right, it just strongly makes logical sense to me. Because Fox gave up the 3 points he put himself in a situation where he had one shot at gaining 2 yards for a tie game and they didn't get it.
