@tundrahok I got the airball shot 30 secs before confused with his end shot.
I was only commenting on Vick’s desire to be the man, not whether he should be or whether his choice was smart or even acceptable.
Do you remember Sherron Collins shooting as he fell out of bounds after dribbling into the corner during the Comeback? I thought it was an idiot move that would cost us the game–until it went in. I doubt that anyone watching thought otherwise.
@Bosthawk Vick tried at the end. Had his 3 ptr gone in, we would have been acclaiming his taking over. All this discussion about needing someone to step up ignores that he tried to.
Now, obviously, an air ball is more of a trip up than a successful step up, but he did not shy away from the moment.
In addition, I have not heard about the FBI sharing information other than what was presented in the court cases by document production, disclosed depositions, and court testimony. The NCAA’s new enforcement protocols allow them to use info developed by outside agencies. Forgive me, but there is no evidence of collusion.
Interestingly, the reports of Ayton’s 100K payment and the supposed tape of Stumpy (I prefer Sweaty), were from leaks allegedly from FBI sources. But, as we know, nothing came of that–maybe because leaked hearsay evidence is precisely among the types of info on which the NCAA won’t base a case.
@dylans Yes, he was brilliant. No other way to look at it with those numerous 3rd and long completions.
They made big plays, both good and bad (Ford!). But secondary couldn’t stop any 3rd and 10 in last 3 drives. Safeties always set up beyond the 1st down line. Coverages should at least occasionally have been designed to deny the ball, rather than post-catch tackle. Berry was in great position, once, but allowed the big Gronk catch by paying no attention to the ball.
And don’t get me started on KC’s inability to actually tackle a running back. Finger tackling is not actually a successful football skill.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Oh, of course! But there would be much less drama if they can just spike it. After today, I hate drama.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t think you can spike a fumbled snap. A spike has to be done immediately by the qb under center. I think that would be intentional grounding, as happened in 2011 when the Bears qb backed up a couple steps and spiked. 10 sec runoff of the clock.
However, the holder could pick up the snap and throw out past the downfield guys to stop the clock.
@Crimsonorblue22 Well, then, I guess it really applies: YOU GO, GIRL!
