wtf is Tirico watching? both feet down?

He's quality.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I guess they gave the worst officiating crew this game figuring nobody would watch.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

After seeing the replays it looks like it might have been a catch, a pretty damn impressive one at that.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

wtf is Tirico watching? both feet down?

I think I heard him call the WR "Flipper Anderson" too.

 

[The_Man]

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills watching this game. Horrific offense, bizarre officiating, and truly nonsensical broadcasting. I just can't wait to see how things get really weird in the final minutes.

 

[Kilgore]

That wasn't even close to a catch. That was egregious.

 

[The Jerk]

A TD in under five seconds here is huge.

Ravens could kickoff through the end zone, use two minute time out and their two timeouts to have 15 seconds or so off clock instead of 55.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

YAHTZEE!

 

[Steeler]

lol at saying Lewis has to elevate to bring in the TD pass; it was at his crotch.

He should have stopped running and then jumped to try and catch the ball at it's highest point... I think that's what he's talking about.Far too many pro receivers don't make this basic play and I don't get it.

It didn't seem like the ball was above his numbers anytime it was near him unless you mean he should post him up, like in basketball.

Yep. Just stop running (since it was underthrown) and get ready to go up for the ball.

Not arguing but he was going across the back of the endzone, right, not running the fade route; or am I mistaken?

You are right. I'm probably just splitting hairs or something, but I see a lot of receivers wait to catch the ball at their chest / waist / whatever... rather than making an adjustment on the ball and trying to catch it at it's highest point.Now this play might not be a perfect example / opportunity for the receiver to make that adjustment for some of the reasons you mentioned, but the fact that he tried to catch it at his waist (maybe he didn't have a choice?) allowed the DB to make a play on the ball.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

GO FOR 3!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

you want to talk about a great football game? WATCH HIS FEET!

:flashback:

 

[The_Man]

Prevent Defense. Awesome!

 

[The Jerk]

A TD in under five seconds here is huge.Ravens could kickoff through the end zone, use two minute time out and their two timeouts to have 15 seconds or so off clock instead of 55.

Now, Jaguars should run the kick out unless it's completely through the end zone to get down to the two minute warning. Even if it costs them 7-8 yards it would enable another 39 seconds or so to run off the clock.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I love losing to garbage time on Monday night.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

kicker with the biggest leg in the league can't get the onsides kick to go 10 yards.

 

[Kilgore]

Cundiff back up to zero points!

 

[pittstownkiller]

Man, I need 2 friggin points by MJD, JUST 2!!!

 

[The Jerk]

I think they should have kicked off deep if they thought Cundiff could put it through the endzone to the end line.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I don't understand the decision there at all. They can't get a 3 and out against Blaine Gabbert here?

 

[SacramentoBob]

So close. Great effort to catch that and stay in bounds.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Damn. That was a great play by Tony Rockyhorror to recover that kick in bounds too.

 

[THE SNOWMAN]

Man, I need 2 friggin points by MJD, JUST 2!!!

That fumble lost might be the decider.

 

[Time Kibitzer]

"He almost kicked it too perfectly"

-Tirico

What does that mean?

 

[Kilgore]

"He almost kicked it too perfectly"-TiricoWhat does that mean?

If it didn't go 10 yards, it was the opposite of perfect...

 

[dontknowaboutme]

I don't understand the decision there at all. They can't get a 3 and out against Blaine Gabbert here?

Plus Scobee won't need much more to put in another FG.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

"He almost kicked it too perfectly"-TiricoWhat does that mean?

Forget it. He's rolling.

 

[MSULions]

time for the classic garbage time TD from MJD....he'll squirt through on 3rd down w/ all the safeties up and be gone

 

[GOB]

I wish the ravens would give their defense a chance. Kick that deep. Play to your strength

 

[The Jerk]

"He almost kicked it too perfectly"-TiricoWhat does that mean?

I didn't get that either.

 

[The_Man]

That graphic demonstrates the only real difference between MJD and Rice was that MJD got 19 more carries. 8 carries for Rice! what a joke

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

"He almost kicked it too perfectly"-TiricoWhat does that mean?

Forget it. He's rolling.

Is that how they get through these games?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

That's it MJD...run it right into ol' Ray Ray's gut three straight plays. Thanks in advance.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

That graphic demonstrates the only real difference between MJD and Rice was that MJD got 19 more carries. 8 carries for Rice! what a joke

tough to give him much more when you don't get a 1st down until midway through the 3rd quarter.

 

[Homer]

I wonder what Urban Meyer thinks watching this pathetic offensive display?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Scobee time? What a stupid decision to kick the onside kick.

Blocked FG for a TD would be nice.

 

[Kilgore]

Do they attempt the FG here?

 

[Pyramid Scheme]

The Ravens could actually still win this game.

 

[Kilgore]

I guess SO!

 

[Steeler]

Should they punt it?

ETA: I guess not

 

[pittstownkiller]

Man, I need 2 friggin points by MJD, JUST 2!!!

That fumble lost might be the decider.

Ain't that priceless; he only put the ball on the ground three times but they only lost one so that is the only that counts against me.

 

[MSULions]

Scobeerific!

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Scobee is

 

[THE SNOWMAN]

Scobee is $$$

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Scobie dobie doh!

 

[delusional]

So this game is as bad as the box score looks eh

Yes, but you need to see it to believe it.Most people would think the recent 3rd and 31 was the worst offensive situation the Ravens have faced tonight. But they would be wrong. If you missed it, there was a 3rd and 35 followed by a 4th and 43 in the second quarter.

haha good god

 

[Native]

Scobee Dobey!

 

[TheFootballJesus]

Should they punt it?

Not with the way scobees kicking

 

[dontknowaboutme]

There it is, Scobee responded after the onside. They should have just tried for a touchback as other people said.

 

[Kilgore]

Way to be - now your team needs a TD...

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

it happened on the goal line. big swing there for sure.
