NFC Divisional Round Game Thread: Seahawks at Panthers

[ipol]

I get the challenge but I think it was a mistake. Maybe he doesn't care about the time out?

 

[Average Reds]

That's close, but k think he got the catch. Which fucks Carolina because it gives Seattle another TO.

 

[Kliq]

I don't think he had full control over the ball when his right foot was still on the ground.

 

[trekfan55]

Yeah, 2 possession lead, but why burn your last timeout over 8 yards in that spot?

Or potentially burn?

 

[WayBackVazquez]

why the fuck do you challenge this? if overturned, time goes back on the clock.

Huh? The clock stopped when he went OOB. You challenge bc you don't need the timeout or the challenge.

sorry; thought it was inbounds. my bad.

 

[staz]

No enough to overturn*

(* opinion pending approval by djbayko)

 

[H78]

If I'm Rivera I'm not challenging that. They need two scores and it was a relatively short pass - why give them time to plan their next play?

 

[Jnai]

Dumb waste.

 

[Ed Hillel]

What a catch

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Hope they don't need to challenge the next play or two before the 2 minute warning, too.

 

[ipol]

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuke

 

[Section15Box113]

I am so conflicted.

Rooting for CAR.

But wanting the drama.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Nm

 

[Marciano490]

Luke plays hard and works hard. Really digs deep and shows respect for the game.

 

[Section15Box113]

Unbelievable play.

 

[The Price Is Wrong]

Luke Kuechly is a Jamie Collins level freak of an athlete. Possibly even more.

 

[Kliq]

Luke plays hard and works hard. Really digs deep and shows respect for the game.

You only say that because he is white, that natural gut reaction really needs to be evaluated.

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Had to be a better play in the middle of the field to be had there. QB draw might have worked, too.

 

[trekfan55]

Yeah, the missed FG is all the difference right now.

 

[staz]

Kick the 56 yarder here?

 

[E5 Yaz]

I am so conflicted.

Rooting for CAR.

But wanting the drama.

If you think of the Seahawks as the Jeter-prime Yankees, this becomes easier

 

[Tony C]

Kick the 56 yarder here?

I think try for another 10 yards. Get those...then kick. Onside...and hope for the best.

 

[RedOctober3829]

if they pick up a first down and its in FG range I'd go for the FG right away instead of wasting time going for the td first.

 

[ipol]

You only say that because he is white, that natural gut reaction really needs to be evaluated.

I was gonna tell him to check his privilege. Keuchly is another great story on this team. point being, you don't have to like Newton to like the Panthers.

 

[Brand Name]

That Aaron Rodgers ad doesn't make sense or follow proper procedure, with the dumb refs. If it were that bad a call, you'd figure a coach would challenge. If it was within 2 minutes, they'd be told to review it again, to get a second look, to ensure the right call.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pete's gonna be crucified for eschewing those field goals. Slim chance they win; Slim was seen heading out of town on route 74.

 

[Section15Box113]

If you think of the Seahawks as the Jeter-prime Yankees, this becomes easier

Thanks. Exactly the reality check I needed.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Kick the 56 yarder here?

Not yet Troy

 

[BigSoxFan]

Unreal mistake

 

[johnmd20]

I'm certainly rooting for the Panthers but I also want the drama, as someone noted above.

 

[Tony C]

now u just have to go for the TD.

 

[Tony C]

this is fun...

 

[rembrat]

I'm rooting for a TD. I want that FG-less 1st half to loom large.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Wow, how do you let that happen?

 

[PseuFighter]

kick the field goal.

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

Clock management - how does it work?

 

[Kliq]

God has to be sharper there and let Russell know when the play clock is winding down.

 

[staz]

Russell ALWAYS loses the play clock

 

[E5 Yaz]

I'm rooting for a TD. I want that FG-less 1st half to loom large.

But you said it was OVAH

 

[johnmd20]

Crowd must be really loud but it doesn't sound like it.

 

[Freddy Linn]

Playing Macklemore?

 

[E5 Yaz]

Russell ALWAYS loses the play clock

He really needs Andy Reid as his coach

 

[johnmd20]

Why split Lynch wide?

 

[rembrat]

But you said it was OVAH

It is. I mean in the post game analysis. I want Pete to eat it for not kicking the FG (in the 2nd quarter) when he had a chance.

 

[Marciano490]

Good. Kick the FG so I can stop caring.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why split Lynch wide?

Worked in the Super Bowl

 

[WayBackVazquez]

Marciano, you lucky bastard.

 

[Section15Box113]

Right call.

 

[johnmd20]

Buck, like a LoTR narrator. "Hope is kept alive."(kindled)
