DID ANYONE CATCH THE ZINGER THAT MCGUIRE (1 Viewer)

[Mik789fl]

.....last few plays of the pro-bowl,AFC had moved the ball near mid-field trailing by 6,Patrick says "kick a field goal and then onside kick?"...McGuire responds "yea,kick the field goal then onside kick...seems I heard that somwhere recently..." I thought it was a clear jab at Madden and Michaels who were saying "Seattle will kick the field goal now and then onside kick" at the end of the Super Bowl. Just an observation,anyone else notice it?

I did hear that. I think it was right after the 4987th time they mentioned that the winning team got $40K per player, and the losers got $20K. Anyway, my first thought was the same as yours--that they were making a jab at Michaels and Madden.

That makes no sense at all. The superbowl was clearly a different situation. The Seahawks were trailing by 11, not 6. Why even take a jab at them when the 2 scenarios are completely different?

Idiot commentators making fun of other idiot commentators....

The best zinger of the game was when Patrick told Maguire something along the lines of "When your commentating days are over, you should open a shoe store because you're always watching the feet".

It was a great crack by McGuire. I kept thinking Madden was an idiot for saying that during the Super Bowl.

madden said something similar in the pats/rams SB, saying the pats should have settled for the FG in regulation, to setup overtime..but in this seattle/pitt SB, he was dead on..seattle had the absolute worst clock management in SB history, at the end the first half, and again at the end of the game..if holmgren was thinking scoring, they should have moved more quickly and tried to punch it in faster..they just looked like the coaches quit..

I don't think the jab from Mcguire was aimed at Madden at all..I DO think it was entirely aimed at holmgren and the lousy seattle coaching staff..basically, seattle needed to score, quickly...throwing 5 yard curl routes in the middle of the field with no timeouts left is stupidity at its finest...

Madden was right given the situation. They should have kicked the fg rather than waste all their time trying to score the td.

 

[Urinal Mint]

Madden was also dead-on about the Pats taking that safety on Monday Night 2-3 years ago (I think in Denver) to set up their defense in better field position. The Pats ended up winning that game. I don't doubt Madden's game knowledge. He won a pretty good percentage of the games he coached.

Ummm...they did kick a FG at the end of regulation. That's what won the game. Does the name Adam Vinatieri ring a bell?

Why? It was clearly the right thing to do. What good is a TD if you waste all the remaining time trying to get it?

Brown has missed 2 FG's in the game. The kick at the end of the game would have been 47 yds. Holmgren wasn't going to attempt the FG. he needed both,he was going for the more difficult of the two. The intention by Holmgren was the right move,the clock management and play calling were terrible.

Yes but I'm pretty sure Madden made the comment in reference to how little time was left on the clock. There was only around 30 seconds left and Madden suggested to take one shot at the endzone and then kick the fg. Thats where the Seahawks messed up.

I believe Madden was on his "Kick the FG and go for an onside kick" tirade when the Seahawks are just inside the 40. The kick at that time was out of Brown's range. Not a gimmie.1-10-SEA20 (1:51) M.Hasselbeck pass to J.Stevens to SEA 26 for 6 yards (J.Farrior, A.Smith).

2-4-SEA26 (1:28) (No Huddle) M.Hasselbeck pass to J.Jurevicius to PIT 39 for 35 yards (T.Polamalu).

1-10-PIT39 (1:05) (No Huddle) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete to J.Stevens. Ball thrown away.

2-10-PIT39 (1:00) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete to M.Strong.

3-10-PIT39 52) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete to B.Engram.

4-10-PIT39 47) M.Hasselbeck pass to B.Engram to PIT 26 for 13 yards (T.Polamalu).

1-10-PIT26 35) (No Huddle) M.Hasselbeck spiked the ball to stop the clock.

2-10-PIT26 34) M.Hasselbeck pass incomplete to S.Alexander (T.Carter).

3-10-PIT26 27) M.Hasselbeck pass to J.Stevens to PIT 23 for 3 yards (T.Carter).

They should've tried a 43-yarder with 35 seconds left. That's a no-brainer. Sure, Brown had missed a couple. So what? You were going to have to get one at some point, and 43 yards is not that long. I can't even believe anyone is debating this.

The reason is because they had to go for 2 after a TD. If they score the TD and fail going for 2, they would still have a chance to win by scoring another TD.If they go for the FG first and miss, the game's over.

Boot.

If they go for a TD the game's over, since there would be no time to set up for a FG, let alone another TD.Boot yourself.

 

[mbuehner]

Are you guys on crack? If you cant score a TD with 40 seconds left how do you intend to score one from farther away with less time on the clock? Id much rather take my chances on a 65 yard field goal than a 55 yard hail mary with no time on the clock.

...and that's where the lousy play-calling and time managment come in.

 

[shadyridr]

Anybody whos ever played a video game know when down by 10 (or 11) you kick the FG on 4th down to save time and then go for the onside kick to get the TD.

this is laughable. So they had time to score 2 TDs?

 

[shadyridr]

think about it this way...

you need 2 scores (a FG & a TD) and you're on the 30 yard line with 35 seconds left. if you kick the FG you'll have enough time to kick an onside kick and run 2 plays for the TD. but if you go for the TD and run off alot of clock you would have to kick a 60+ yard FG after the onside kick or go for a hailmary. even if you get the td on the 4th down not running off much clock then youd still have to run 2 short plays for a FG.

Id even consider kicking the gimme FG on 2nd or 3rd down giving me more time to get the TD.

Maybe, but you are already acknowledging that you cant score a 30 yard TD in less than 35 seconds. What then leads you to believe you can score a 55 yard TD in 20 seconds?
