Ben fake spike

Speaking of kickers...I'm becoming less and less confident in Boz's FG kicking every week. Yes, it was a 55 yarder but their guy kicked that 53 yarder like it was nothing.

Not to mention, the kickoff out of bounds by him. Special teams has been bad lately.


Amazing "spike" play for sure. Your right about special teams as they have been below the line. Seems they are totally NOT coached or something to that nature. We will have to take it to the lab and dicect what we may allready know. It's going to come down to those special teams players and what they have above the neck to go forward on this.

The players sold it perfectly. They all stood there without giving any indication they were running a play ('cept for Ben and AB). Yeah, that was a beautifully thrown ball with tight coverage.

They sold it perfectly because only Ben and AB knew they were gonna fake it.
 
It was a cool play, but wish they would have ran another play or two first to run the clock down. To get in FG range the Cowboys would only need 40-45 yards realistically and with 40+ seconds left and 3 timeouts is way more than enough. Couple that with our defense stunk all game and you get what happened. Overall it was a good game and should not have mattered if we could have beat the ravens, dolphins, and eagles

What if we run one or two more plays and don't get the TD. This team has not had the best red zone offense this season (or for a few years), take the points when you can get them. If you can;t trust the D to hold someone with 42 seconds you have much bigger issues than scoring too soon.

Dude, you take the points every time !!!!! A-N-D you take the ******* single point conversion to start the game as that would have helped dictate the conversion from that point forward. This game was very winnable so leaving 42seconds on the clock is NOT why we have an L in the win/loss colum.

Boz sucks over 50, but by god, Tomlin's gonna keep putting him out there.

Maybe he should work on his aim then? That kick would have been good from another five yards back except he booted it wide. No excuse when you consistently have the leg on your kicks.
