The nerds say 4 yards to go is a bit far to go for it with that "short" a FG. The data says you should be between the 40-45 to go for it in that situation...the break even point where it makes sense to go for it at the 35 yd line is 4th and 2. A FG wouldn't have ended the game though, and there was something to McCarthy knowing that his D was bound to cough up the winning TD regardless.
Imagine how pissed we'd be if the Pats lost a game that way. That was a huge punch in the
Vikings had that game on the prior play and the dude had a ridiculous drop (play with offsides). That was a crazy end 4th quarter and OT. Justin Jefferson was nuts in this game.
I had it on my phone propped up in Sally’s (New Haven) watching with my son and people were stopping by to watch. It was a good time.
Lol, they don’t need it. They have a line out the door at almost all times.
Aw, now I want to try the place but it's hard for me to imagine me in NH anytime soon.
I’m sure the game thread would have turned apoplectic instead of it’s usual lighthearted and cozy vibe.
it would be like the crowd in that scene in Chappelle show where he is the (unknowingly) black white supremacist and reveals himself.
Need one in eastern MA. And I've been a lazy homebody since March 2020, so one a half-mile from my house or closer would be ideal.
Yep. That just might be enough to finally make Flawless turn against Mac Jones.
Ha, I started my day in Woods Hole. Only gets a little bit more east than that. There is a big beautiful world out there, my man. Get after it!
The last situation I can recall in which the intentional safety was even worthy of discussion was the one we're all thinking of: 2003 Pats @ Denver. Which was the game that convinced me that Bill Belichick was operating on a higher plane of football existence and that I should really never question him ever again, about anything. And with one exception*, I haven't.
No. It’s not. If a RB hits a hole leading with his helmet and there’s helmet to helmet contact there is no penalty. A running quarterback is the same thing.
The rule is “it is a foul if a player lowers his head and makes forcible contact with his helmet against an opponent.” Is the argument that he didn’t lower his head? Because it seemed like he clearly did to me.
I guess lowers his helmet seems arbitrary. They were going to the ground. It wasn’t the crown of his helmet but I guess the rule doesn’t say that.
