Or do they just make it up as they go?

2Q 1:39 79 yards No time outs.

9 yard pass to Williams

10 yard pass to Williams

6 yard pass to Muhammad

4 yard pass to Smith

spike

29 yards in 1:28

11 seconds to go...

6 yard pass Stewart and the first time out of bounds

35 yards in 1:34 but still 45 yards to the endzone or just 10 yards short of a FG attempt.

Hail mary and no TD.

Was playing the sidelines just to obvious?

Even Williams didn't go out of bounds.

To be honest, I think it had more to do with them not trying to save time and instead just seeing if they could break out on a play and score. So I guess the real problem is that they need to try to get at least something instead of settling for all or nothing.

Right, that was my point. I know we won the game so it doesn't really matter. But against a better team an extra FG might have been enough. 45 yards was all we really needed. The whole drive was just stupid and it wasn't the first time they have had poor clock management.

I want to know why with no time remaining didn't they let Lloyd have some fun and see if he can boot a long one (he doesn't have to make it really). We will never know if he can really hit those long ones till we let him try in-game.

"...and the Panthers go for a 75-yarder! ...It's up... it's going long! OH MY GOD HE MADE IT!"

My bad. I changed my reply without re-reading the original post and ended up missing your point.

And yeah, it's not the first time I've had to watch the clock expire because they've made no attempt to get out of bounds. But, then again, if they did do as you suggest and ended up with nothing, would you say it was too conservative (not necessarily "you" but anyone).

Man do you know how much relief that would be if he could kick 60 yarders consistently. Our offense could get away with moving the ball 6-8 yards from their own 40 yard line in three tries and not have to punt or fake a 4th down attempt. :lol:

I though it was more around 62 yards. Thats more in the realm of possibility.

He could serve two incredibly important ST functions. Scoring from long distance and knocking the piss out of it on KO.

A kick that long might have a lower trajectory, which makes it easier to block, and if its blocked, it can be returned.

I strive for the impossible, my friend. :cool:

Don't use your logic to rain on our party!

Oh lets see a struggling O on a 0-3 team. I think that sounds like the perfect time for a like motivation. If he hits a 62 yarder to end half time that locker room would be insane you would have these guys more pumped up then they have been all season. Its worth the chance IMO. But I also would have gone for it on that 4th. Im not at all conservative.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
