Wow!!! Why kick THAT short?

 

WTF on the kickoff?

EDIT: They're still the Falcons?

 

How stupid was that

 

That was ridiculous

 

What? They had one timeout. They used it with 13 seconds left. Run it out and kick the field goal with 2 seconds left.

 

Falcons win despite themselves.

 

The Seahawks had two timeouts. Why not try to run a quick seam route to the 40 or so of the Falcons and call a quick timeout? No need to run an out pattern to get out of bounds.

 

Yeah. Wondered the same thing.

 

Isn't it more likely that Ryan Longwell would miraculously hit a 65 yarder than completing a Hail Mary without replacement officials there?

 

You're correct. I was thinking about why they didn't run one more play, but they should have waited to call it after Gonzalez's catch. Probably a heat of the moment deal by someone on the field.

 

I still think I would have tried the 65-yard field goal. It has to be a higher percentage play than a hail mary, right? Especially without the benefit of replacement referees.

 

I'd say Longwell form 65 yards is a 0% shot. So, no.
