I’d attempt an onside kick like the one ATL did where their guy just blazed right past the first line of defense and made it a 1V1.
if you’re already kicking from basically mid field, the worst it could be is giving them the ball at their 40. I’d take that risk every time. You’re gambling for an extra possession and only spending a first down or two if you lose.
Yeah it made zero difference in the game. People think if we had that extra point plus the other one from the 2nd missed conversion we would've tied but many other variables along the way would've changed. Fir example, had we just kicked the Extra point on that earlier score, when we were down 42-33, we would've been down 42-34 instead. Which means when we scored that TD it would've brought us to 42-40, instead of 42-39. At 42-39 we kicked the extra point to make it 42-40, had it been 42-40 prior to the try, we would've gone for 2 to tie and missed as we did anyway and it would've stayed......42-40, so we ended up right where we would've been anyway had we kicked that earlier extra point.You people are losing your minds over 2 points not scored when the defense gave up 6 touchdowns. Unbelievable.
But if we had 48 and SF had needed a TD to win, they wouldn't have just taken a knee to set up a FG try, they would've tried for a TD, and do you really think our defense was going to stop them the way they were playing that day?Kick the XP, short kick from the 50 and try to pin them deeper with ST coverage.
Or hell. An onside kick from the 50, even if you fail, would probably put the ball around the 35-40. Theyd start on the 25 with a touchback so only giving up 10 yards might be worth the risk.
But taking the ball on the 1 yard line as opposed to the 2? IDK. I just don't know. Just doesn't move the needle enough for me that early in the game. That failed 2 pt conversion, led to another failed 2 point conversion. Instead of 2 XPs and a tied game at 48.
Maybe they should just assess the penalty on the opponents next offensive play. Its a meaningless penalty on a TD play. Get the 1 yard, or kick the ball out of the endzone? Great options...?You're the head coach. It's your call.
To my knowledge no head coach has every thought of what should be insanely obvious.
You kick the extra point and then at midfield you conduct an onside kick. No discussion, end of story, only smart thing to do.
Someone please explain why teams kick the ball almost into the stands in this situation and have the opponent start the drive at the 25?
So you're gonna tell me that the opposing team having the ball somewhere probably between their 33 and 38 yard line with an onside kick attempt doesn't justify the ultimate benefit of stealing a possession?
THIS! I was going to reference the same play. THIS is what we should do every time... unless of course we would be going for the 2 pts in 4th quarter anyway. Why in the world SP didn't go back to this when it worked so great before?Don't remember which game it was other than it was a home game, but earlier this year the Saints took the 15 yards on the kickoff and Lutz put the ball perfectly on the goal line forcing a return and pinning the opposing team around the 10 yard line.
