That's what I say!Zorn76 wrote:Either way the call was absurd.
You kick it deep, and trust first your ST's to make the tackle inside the 30 (at least), then allow your defense to do its job.

Hawktawk wrote:The only potential advantage of such a call would be the ability to end the game on a single FG without surrendering another OT possession to the Rams. That being said the velocity on Hauschkas leg would not have propelled the ball more than 20-25 yards had he picked it clean.They wouldn't admit exactly where they wanted the ball to land. Like for what? Saving it for another time???OMG!!!
It felt for all the world like hormonal PC wanting to stick it to Fisher on the way out the door for all the ST pantsings he had received in the past. Unfortunately the Rams were obviously ready as evidenced by the receivers extremely heady fair catch signal. Rest assured any potential reciever of a pooch kick had the same instructions. It was an idiotic call.Rams ST own us,period.Lockette put a dent in that but still......
PC is worrying me. I quit worrying in 2013 because he had a flawless year. He was great all the way through last season.Then came the final 2 minutes of the SB and now we are starting out like this.
Please Pete, quit overthinking things. Trust your guys.

We kicked off 7 times, 4 touchbacks, 3 returns averaging 21 yards with a long of 22. I don't know what it was we were so afraid of.

And as long as our minds are bent in this particular direction; that last play obviously called for a power, not a hand off in the backfield to a stationary Beast. Give him the ball with some momentum! But doing it this way allows us to say "see, a hand off wouldn't have worked anyway".

It was a botched pooch kick. Hauchka had no velocity on his leg even before he hit it fat. I think they were trying to pooch it over the first wave of receivers but it was nowhere near a botched conventional kickoff. It was a stupid decision period.
. I almost wanna change my mind and cave to Kam.

B. Marshawn was converting 3&2/3&1 all day., so that call (in retrospect) wasn't that bad. The play calling all day was weird, probably because RW was getting hammered and their D dictated.
C. We expected to struggle on the o-line and we did.
D. Our D-line was fine.
E. Horrible tackling by backers and secondary.
F. Squishy- über soft middle of the field. Wheel routes and dink/ dunk killed us.
G. We're not gonna do well in GB if we don't improve.
H. I almost wanna change my mind and cave to Kam.
Hawk Sista wrote:Did you read my other post? I said almost. Of course we don't cave to Kam. And in another thread I stood up for the o-line. But to deny they struggled is delusional.
You are supposed to say - you are 100% correct, sis.

PC & I share the same birthday, (although he is a little older than me). Happy womb exit day Pete.
I was listening to Jim Rome on the radio today. He did a little piece on PC about the botched kick. It was hilarious.http://jimrome.com/audio/the-jim-rome-show/ Click on hour 2 & go to the 15.40 mark.
