masterrig 1 #33 February 6, 2012 I watched the Super Bowl yesterday and toward the end of the game, they referred to the touchdown that the Giants made, as 'The touchdown you don't want to make!' That would've put (and did) the Giants ahead. For some reason, my pea-sized brain does not understand. I'd rather look silly than keep on guessing.

airtwardo 6 #34 February 6, 2012 If he would have not scored it and instead dropped to a knee at the 1 foot line ~ the Giants could have run out the clock on the Pats, then won by just kicking a field-goal that would have been as easy or easier than an extra PAT. By scoring ...the Giants gave Brady plenty of time to go 80 yards and win in the final seconds. The Patriots WANTED him to score, it was obvious the way they lined up giving the RB an open hole and allowing him forward progress untouched. Notice a defender following the running back to the goal line...if he were to stop going forward to score, the linebacker is supposed to hit him and push him it...it's actually a designed play...give up the points but save the clock. ( give up a Knight but save the Queen) Any hey but for some dropped passes ~ THAT may have happened...Brady's done it too many times to count! Football isn't just hitting, blocking, passing and running...it can be a chess game. Time management is critical, you want to spend as much time offensively as possible, rests the defence and tough for the opposition to score without having the ball. Gotta manage your time-outs wisely. Offensively confuse the other team with passes that look like running plays and vice versa. Defensively confuse the other guys with pass rushes and coverages that look like a rushing defense. The best coaches accurately assess the abilities of their players and go with designed plays that capitalize on the specific strong points. Like chess your moves are setting up moves down the road...I played some in college, the smarter guys were always better than the guys who were just physically talented. The '85 Bears defense was arguably the best ever - before or since, because of the unusual amount of plays they could run from formations that constantly changed. They rushed guys that should have been in coverage all the time. Guys lined up 2 & 3 on one and there was no offensive line that could stop 'em. Buddy Ryan had the rare combination of very smart AND athletic players to coach...he designed a defense that's been copied but never successfully duplicated. Great game football is...you can enjoy it on so many levels...no matter how well versed ya are in strategy. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muff528 3 #35 February 6, 2012 Does anyone really believe that Ahmad Bradshaw "accidentally" fell across the goal line after he was asked to down it short of the line? That was the funniest play of the game. He was already stopped at the one foot line and turned and fell backwards into the end zone after the hesitation. He had already been in one Super Bowl and came up scoreless. The temptation had to be overwhelming. He wasn't about to give up what could be his final shot at a Super Bowl touchdown. I mean the goal line was right there! (He did use up a second or two falling down. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airtwardo 6 #36 February 6, 2012 Does anyone really believe that Ahmad Bradshaw "accidentally" fell across the goal line after he was asked to down it short of the line. Quote Yeah I do...He was just running too fast too stop on a dime like that, he turned around but was off balance, the CG was behind his heels...he was going over, I could tell it as he was turning around. What he 'should' have done is hit a slide at the 5. Sure scoring a Superbowl TD is priceless...but not if you lose the game. That close of a score at THAT time of the game, he wasn't thinking about personal stuff. ~~~Going back to the '85 Bears (yeah I'm a fan) ...Walter Payton didn't score a TD but the Fridge did...THAT was a travesty, - start of the last quarter +30 pts. up - EVERY play should have been to get Sweetness in the end-zone. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #37 February 6, 2012 Thank you Sir, for clarifying that. I don't know why but that one just got away from me. You gave a very good explanation. I do not follow football except for our local high school six-man team. Thanks, again. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #38 February 6, 2012 Ignoring that Brady's Hail Mary pass on the last play of the game fell to the ground giving the Giants the win, that was a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario" the Giants were put into concerning scoring the TD on Bradshaw's running play. Yes Bradshaw could have fallen to the ground, the Giants could have eaten up more clock, kicked the go ahead field goal and given Brady 20 or so seconds to march his team into field goal range where the Patriots try to win the game on a last second field goal. Or the Giants could have done what they did, score the TD and force Brady to go the entire length of the field and have to score a game winning TD. But what happens if the Giants go for the late game field goal attempt and miss? Yikes ... damned if you do damned if you don't. Even in defeat Belichick is still messing with your mind. The guy is ruthless in his attempt to win. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #39 February 6, 2012 QuoteThe '85 Bears defense was arguably the best ever The Steel Curtain of the 1970s was awesome, the Giants of the late 1980s defense was also awesome and the Ravens defense of 2000/2001 was also awesome. But I think you are correct. That 1985/1986 Bears defense was just dominant and probably the best ever. Still not sure how the Dolphins beat the Bears during the '85 regular season, but they did.

Quote IIRC, it was under 2 minutes...Pats wasted a TO with the challenge and were down to 1. With 3 fresh downs and only 1 TO to stop the clock we're talking between 5 + 10 seconds after the field-goal, Kick-offs take 3 so down to ONE play for Brady to get it in... It's an odds call, kicker has better odds of making the 3, than Brady does of a one play 80 yard hail Mary....assuming of course there's no run-back after the kickoff. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites airtwardo 6 #41 February 6, 2012 Quote Quote The '85 Bears defense was arguably the best ever The Steel Curtain of the 1970s was awesome, the Giants of the late 1980s defense was also awesome and the Ravens defense of 2000/2001 was also awesome.

I'm a geek but I looked this up on some statistics sites. Apparently with falling down and then kicking a field goal the Giant's statistical chance to win was ~93=94%.

NE was now under pressure to go for TD rather than FG.
