that's exactly why he did it. to catch them off guard. kloss said on film the guy would retreat before the kick. they thought it would be there. I applaud the risk.

Dumb. Thought it was an ill-timed momentum crusher. This game was cotrast of the best, guttiest play we have seen from the Bulls in along while and some of the most inexplicably poor decisions and e

I actually wasn't fully opposed to it, but, it was a bad kick by Kloss... hard to complain since he had just drilled a 50-yard FG, but, it was not a good kick. The play they scored on after that was a slant/missed tackle/off to the races kind of play. Sure, they may have called different plays from the 25, but, that guy could have run that thing 75 yards just as easily as he ran it 50, we weren't going to catch him. So, probably not a big swing there.

 

I wrestled with it, we had some momentum, but, if that works, it's a huge swing. It didn't, the defense still had a chance for force a punt from the 50, but instead, laid down and gave up an easy TD, which really had nothing to do with the field position.

Gutsy call that everyone would be praising if we converted. I didn't mind it, though I wish Kloss kicked the ball better.

Worked or not, it was coaching straight and simple.

 

Something we have not had much of in a long time.

 

We needed the practice at onside kicking with special teams too. Who knows how close the orlando game will be?

If Leavitt or Skip did it they'd be idiots.

Just saying.

I should add, I didn't mind it, but it hurt us. They scored immediately after that.

Skip was an idiot for setting up for a FG in 4th quarter down by 4 TDs.

 

Skip was an idiot for setting up for a FG on opponents 2 yard line and 2nd down with 20 seconds left and 2 timeouts in the first half in a game we lost by 3.

 

Skip was an idiot for misusuing timeouts constantly.

 

There are plenty of reasons Skip was an idiot. taking a risk was not one of them. the guy coached scared.

 

it gets old you blabbing on about how skip or leavitt would be nailed to the cross for antyhing Taggart has done. first off most on here disagree with the call. secondly I never have a problem taking a calcualted risk. something Skip would never do.

That play would have worked from their 10 yard line ....

I agree field position didn't matter on that play.

True, but our Defensive play call may have been much different on their 20 yard line vs our 35 or whatever it was.
