NFL Playoffs and Superbowl

[Captain Tagon]

Erm, yes, it served the purpose I just wrote, to make sure the Steelers didn't have any time left for a kick-off return. Sure, it added 1 or 2 yards more, so it was a 43 instead of a 41 yard FG attempt. But as was evident, the distance wasn't the problem, since it had plenty of height, it just wasn't accurate enough.

No, taking two seconds off the clock and going backwards serves no purpose. Taking time off the clock and running an actual play to move the ball sideways or to gain some yardage does serve a purpose. This is the playoffs, play conservative and die.

I agree that they should have moved laterally instead of backwards, no question about that, but saying that what they did served no purpose is only half-true at best.

Well in the scheme of things it did serve no purpose as they lost the game.

Of course... but hindsight is always 20/20

And what a hit!!! Booya!

And he took it like a man. Weather worsen Colts get a little rythm and are on the board. That was a beautiful trick play too, to bad it didn't work!

and now the Pats drive...as long as the Colts can keep holding them to field goals, they have a good chance. But Dillon seems to be running better......

 

[GentleGiant]

Wohoo! A 10 minute drive and a touchdown! Oh yeah, now we're talking!
Tag team running game and a few well placed passes, that's the key to success it seems
