Guest Kelly Football Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 Running up the score This is a hypothetical question and is not based on any specific game or team.A highschool team is winning big in the 4th qtr and has pulled their starters and has still driven the ball deep in the red zone. If they come up to a 4th down, would you prefer that they take a chip shot field goal for 3 easy points or run a play and give the other team a chance to stop them with no points?Also, would your answer change if the teams were college or NFL?
wos08 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 Depends on how far you are from goal line.
besbolbenbedygud Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 I would think in the NFL a team with a big lead would still kick the FG......depending on time left on the clockCollege-and points-and-the BCS!?!? = Who knows!! HS.......I think you kick a FG.....sometimes those 27yrd FG try's are no 'sure thing' either...lolIMOO......up big you have two chices......4th and short you run for the first to try to keep the ball in your hands, then you sit on it for the next four, running the clock down......or you take the FG attempt and put the ball back in the other teams hands to deal with.........One thing I could never ask an athlete to do is slow up.....that shouldn't be encouraged ........furthermore, that's when needless injurys can happen.....a third.....their is always the option of nealing it on fourth down, turning the ball over to the other team.......then their are some who would say that's worse then scoring.....lol
GoBigBlue1997 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 It is not the offenses' job to stop themselves. If the defense wants the offense to stop scoring then do something about it. I personally think it is much more disrespectful "slowing up", then it is to "run it up". I know I would not want somebody "taking it easy" on me. I would just assume you come full speed at least just out of pride. I do not need you to "baby" me. But to answer the question.. I would go for it. Even if you do not get the first down, you have the other team pinned deep in their own side of the field. Whats three points when you are up big anyway?

Kelly's football season is over. Their hyped up overrated season has come to an end. Time for the Bulldogs to bust out the Basketballs.
Cardfan Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 I am not sure why all the Hype on scoring. I cant believe a team should have to lay down. You train all year to play and if a team cant hold up to you then oh well looks like that team has alot of practice to make up. A win is a win by 1 point of 50 points.

What happened to sportsmanship? I understand what you're trying to say with all of the "if they can't stop us"...yada yada, but that's lame and shows lack of character. If you really feel that way why would have your starters out of the game anyway as in the scenerio above?

WOS92 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 It depends how late in the game it is. If there's a minute left, you just kneel it. If there are five plus, work on whatever you need to work on. If the kicking game is weak, try a field goal. If the passing game is weak, put the starters in and pretend you're in the playoffs, down six, with three seconds on the clock. I'd certainly make no effort to not score. If anything, you're looking out for your own interests. Yes, it might rub a few people the wrong way. Unfortunately, it's not in a coach's job description to help maintain the self esteem of rival fans, players or coaches. This is high school football in Texas. Giving every kid a chance to play goes out the window after middle school. So does mercy. If your team is perfect and you have the luxury of being indisputably better than every other team in the state, then kneel away. But if you realize that down the road - in a week or in six weeks - you're going to face someone much better than the current opponent, probably better than you are at that point. If we were out to preserve feelings, we wouldn't keep score.

Krewsky Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Mr. Smack,I believe KELLY FOOTBALL knows the season is over for Kelly. He is asking a "hypothetical question" about football.Why do you have to be such an a**!? ???BTW, KELLY FOOTBALL, I believe if the game is close to the end then you take a knee. If it is not close to the end, you run the ball, but don't put any more points on the board by kicking a field goal. It is obviously something Mr. 'Beli-cheat' doesn't know in New England.
KFDM COOP Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Just what i was thinking...New England!

(highschool wise) because it goes down to points sometimes as to who gets in the playoffs, so sometimes the more points the better. and yes, i would do the exact opposite in college and in the NFL.
Guest Pounce Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 lumpton did this last week to smiley. throwing deep with 2min. left in an obvious victory. classy!!!
Raider88 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Hey Poochy that was the 2nd team in there!!
Guest Pounce Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 Hey Poochy that was the 2nd team in there!!no sir. you still had some starters in the game. if iremember the starting qb threw it and a starting wr caught it.
smp83 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 no sir. you still had some starters in the game. if iremember the starting qb threw it and a starting wr caught it.No, it wasn't a starting wr. It was #15, our kicker, getting some practice in as wr.
Guest Pounce Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 No, it wasn't a starting wr. It was #15, our kicker, getting some practice in as wr.you are right. i was listening to the game...pulling for lumberton. who threw the ball??? could of swore it was dejohn. pull up the box score.
AJ25 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Posted November 22, 2007 you are right. i was listening to the game...pulling for lumberton. who threw the ball??? could of swore it was dejohn. pull up the box score.dejohn did throw it, but only cause our backup qb is our starting d-end. so we were trying to keep him healthy too. but all the recievers and running backs were backups.
PNG Proud Posted November 23, 2007 Report Posted November 23, 2007 Wat should it matter to you??? Kelly's football season is over. Their hyped up overrated season has come to an end. Time for the Bulldogs to bust out the Basketballs.PimpSmack, why do you have to start crap all the time? So what if he still wants to talk football? THIS IS A FOOTBALL FORUM. I'm sure you'll still be on here long after the last snap. Give it a rest.
GoBigBlue1997 Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 The REAL question is... Is it more "classy" to kneel the ball and take pitty on a team or give them a chance to make a stop even if it is late in a game? Discuss amoungst yourselves!!
PNG Proud Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 I say, if the game is obviously over, and you can take a knee and win, do it. Why risk injury to either side by running an unneccessary play.
