Only thing I can think of is he wanted to save the timeout in case the snap was bobbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did have the timeout, it was a major screwup. I was sitting in the house with a big group of people yelling at the TV to run the ball to the middle of the field.

With Gregory as the holder. Slip a TE out. If it is incomplete we still have another down to kick the FG and a time out in case he catches it and is tackled. But yes, 2nd choice would have been to have Grothe run it to the middle of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. I thought we used our last one.Oh and I thought we would QB run it to the center of the field instead of leaving Alvarado on an island out on the left hash mark with a delay of game penalty. Ugh, I still want to vomit thinking about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point on the TV coverage I think ESPN took the timeout away and then suddenly it was back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only way we'd know is if someone took the time to watch it again (bleh).Scoreboards can be wrong--especially in the trampoline.

Yeah watching the highlights on Sportscenter made me feel like I had to vomit again. I don't think I can watch this game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
