Trivia: Jeff Garcia soon to become (1 Viewer)

Did we get an answer?

If not here's my guess based on next week being Carolina.

Jeff Garcia is the first QB to beat the same opponent 3 times, on 3 different teams to end the season before getting to/starting the playoffs...

Man, that's a long winded guess

1. The only number between 1 and 40 that cannot be a team's score.
You can score exactly 1 point in college football.
how?
Safety on a PAT.
I believe that NFL rules also make it possible for a team to score a single point, or at least they used to. If a team fails to show up for a game I believe they forfeit, and the game goes in the books as a 1-0 victory for the team that did show up. Of course it's never happened, but that's beside the point.
 
Just looked this up AFTER posting, and if the NFL rules actually did at one time provide for the possibility of a 1-0 score in case of a forfeit, then they've changed that rule. A forfeit now would be officially scored as a 2-0 game. I can't think of a single reason why 2-0 makes more sense than 1-0 (they might as well have made it 78-0), but that apparently is how they'd score it.

The answer is that they have to assume a play, but they cannot actually run a play without anyone on the field. It would be unfair, for example, for the winning team to run the ball into the end zone repeatedly, setting every record in the books but also crushing the points scored numbers. So the eventual outcome is that the losing team receives infinite consecutive delay of game penalties until they reach the goal line, at which point the game ends on a safety.

That all sounds reasonable, with the only real flaw in the logic being that as you near the goal line, the penalty for delay of game would end up being assessed as half the distance to the goal, so the ball would never technically be placed inside the end zone.

:thumbup:If anything, the score should be 6-0 representing the offense scoring a TD against a team that fielded 0 players.

Doesn't there have to be a T(D) before there is a Point After?
Apparently the TD was called back but the PAT stood. HTH.

...and the clock would never run.

2-0, the reason is thats the lowest score you can have.Meaning you can win a game 2-0.Baseball is 9-0 a run per inning.Hockey and Basketball who cares.Sorry bad to topic.Whats the answer?

Not sure about your reasoning in the baseball example. I've seen the scores (don't watch it) and I regularly see teams score much less than 9 runs and still win. Lowest score in baseball is 1-0. Hockey is 1-0 shootout, which both teams get a point for the tie and the winner gets the extra point for the shootout win. Basketball technically can also be 1-0, but it is not possible to achieve if a game is actually played. Unless everyone is blind and only 1 free throw goes in the whole game.

Team A scores TD. During PAT attempt, Team A somehow goes 99 yards in the other direction and is tackled in its own endzone. 1 point for Team B; score is 6-1.

Somehow I got lost along the way and thought we were talking about lowest scores possible. 1-0 is not possible but scoring 1 point is.

Disregard. I can't read or something. You are right.

The return of a blocked PAT is worth two points. A forfeit could be 1-0 though.
That was what I originally thought (and posted), but checking the rules revealed that the NFL would score a forfeit as a 2-0 game. Personally, I think they should have made it 5-4, just for giggles. :goodposting:

So the fantasy angle on all this is that if a team's bus gets stuck in traffic on the way to the stadium and it's reported they won't make it on time and will have to forfeit (yeah I know, but just play along anyway), quickly pick up and start the other team's defense! Zero yards against, zero points against, and a safety too.

FANTASY GOLD! :goodposting:

 
I think he's the first player to face the same team in the playoffs three times, each with a different team.
Garcia will have a chance to knock the Giants out of the playoffs playing for his 3rd different team next weekend.Oh and . . . . . . Carmella
If marrying that makes people think I'm gay, call me Spencer. I've seen them in public in Beverly Hills. If it's a smokescreen, it's a good one.
