villa4europe Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I think we talked about it on here! There was a commentator talking about them being scrapped because the success percentage is so low it's becoming pointless I'm not 100% sure on what the rule is, certain distance and then the opposition has to touch it first muffing it? They should introduce a rugby style up and under but I would guess the injury risk would put a big no no on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a commentator talking about them being scrapped because the success percentage is so low it's becoming pointless They need to have some sort of "getting the ball back at all cost" play. Othewise many games will be over around 2 minutes if it is a 2-score game. It used to hover at around 15% success-rate which seams reasonable. The prohibited method of overloading a side and no run-up killed it. Maybe a kicker skillshot or something. Kick it through the uprights from 60 yards. Or the punter putting it inside the 10 or5 including bounces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Calais Campbell has suggested he'd be OK with reconstructing his very well deserved contract if it helps the team. What a class act he has been for us and one the most positive dudes in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto a 2pt conversion .. can you fake kick and go for 2 ? Yes you can fake it. But now the PAT has been moved back, there's no point. When it was at the one yard line, you saw people fake it fairly often (comparatively to now) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it would never work, but that's not the same as not being allowed to try. You can fake anything and you never have to tell the opposition. That's the whole point. But some things lend themselves to fakery and some do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 end of season celebration with an element of fun and community added to it, from the stuff I've seen the weeks build up with all the events and competitions is better than the actual game all star games are a big thing in the states though so i don't see it going anywhere anytime soon, crowd last night was awful and it was pretty much just messing about, players seem to love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted February 2, 2019 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2019 Champ Bailey and Pat Bowlen made it to the HOF. Champs ability to shut down half the field for a decade was amazing. His 2006 season was other worldly. He only got tested 35 times and only four passes were completed over him, none for touchdowns. Nobody has surpassed that. Apart from Elway, my favourite Bronco ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
