I still don't get how that clock works. Legolas Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 03:51:09 PM

His clock management in the last 3 minutes of the game was horrendous. Watching him made me think he thought they only needed to score once, not twice.



But yes, if he had options that didn't involve letting the clock tick down twenty seconds inbetween plays each time, he would've been smart to take them.

I agree with moondog that you can't much blame him in the loss, though - that interception was Porter being good, not Manning choking. And after that point, it was highly unlikely he'd have gotten an OT no matter what he did tbh, good clock management or no.

Of course I disagree with your analysis. But you're entitled to your opinions, naturally. The Shrike - 08/02/2010 04:33:01 PM 1121 Views
It's kind of you to defend me ßelals Girl - 08/02/2010 06:16:34 PM 1037 Views

It was mostly the comparison. It seemed nasty. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:47:18 PM 1098 Views
Listen, you're uptight. You were looking for an argument/fight. Not quite characteristic of you, but The Shrike - 08/02/2010 08:54:26 PM 1280 Views
I guess I really don't get the game, then. Lupine - 08/02/2010 08:51:25 PM 1081 Views
Well, football is a game where you should respond in kind. Ghavrel - 08/02/2010 09:37:36 PM 1255 Views

There are American football leagues elsewhere (even if they don't matter). Legolas - 08/02/2010 04:12:44 PM 1097 Views
besides canada (CFL), arena football, and NFL europe, how many others? moondog - 09/02/2010 01:43:25 AM 1011 Views
Oh, there are plenty. Legolas - 09/02/2010 10:41:11 AM 1054 Views
I don't know I think the talent difference is great enough to justify the title random thoughts - 09/02/2010 02:33:03 PM 912 Views
Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Legolas - 09/02/2010 02:55:51 PM 987 Views

Isn't that one of the problems of the entire sport? Legolas - 08/02/2010 03:04:32 PM 1068 Views
I think it is more complicated then that random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:01:10 PM 1026 Views
