[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1078935, member: 10086"] Good points Milani. The only thing I’d point out in that FG. IMO a Hail Mary has a better chance of a Win. We know that Rodgers used to sling some and our LOS was as far back as our 40 yardline area (Detroit Miracle) Here we were past midfield, so we’re throwing from just inside the 50 yardline on the Eagles side. While not easy, if Love has 3.5 seconds of time he can easily reach the paint and guys will be there when the ball drops. We also have Watson 6’4” 38.5” vertical and Musgrave 6’6” 36” vertical and Wicks 6’ 1.5” 39” vertical. Your minimum is Bo at a 5’11” 38” vertical. These were guys who were picked for their athletic testing as your Receiving targets. Use them. Hard to out jump 6’4 and 6’6 when they also have bigger Verticals. Personally I would not have kicked that unless on the preceding play we picked up 4-6 yards and get out of bounds. In the colder weather I’m guess but that’s really more like a 70 yarder feel. Which I’m guessing is why the ball sailed away. McManus had to crush that ball and you’ll lose accuracy. No. I would’ve rolled out and thrown the 50 yard pass. If you catch you Win. Might’ve thought differently if a TD was worth 3pt. Here even if you make a 69 yard feel Kick? You still didn’t Win. PS. I’d add that part of the reason it going wide doesn’t bother me? Yiu can have the most accurate Kick in the world. If it doesn’t travel 65 yards it’s a meaningless Kick. Lean distance over accuracy. Very similar to the concept of not throwing a Hail Mary out of bounds. I’d rather it comes up 15 yards short in bounds than land in the chalk. [/QUOTE]
