Get a clue skip......it looks like you are the president of the "No Faith" club.

Okay, someone who is not on the bottle (skip) please explain what really happened with this kicking on 3rd down thing.

[skipper]

come on now what are u talking about 

[bdm06]

It was 3rd and 5 in the first over time and wos lined up for a fg. The only reason I could think of they did it is because they wanted to keep the ball in the middle of the field and not have to kick from the left or right of the field. Bad call imo especially when you have a back like Lindsey on your team.

I see. Also, sometimes you try a FG on 3rd down just so that if you have a bad snap or hold, if you do not get the kick off, you have another down to try.

[bdm06]

I can see that but at that point in the game we were moving the ball very well and the momentum seemed to be on our side. Just my opinion but I would've taken one more shot before I tried for a fg.

[griff]

I would've taken one more shot to run on 3rd and 5, but we were well within FG range. 'Still can't believe it went wide left from that close.  Ouch!

[the sports guy]

Did FW already have their turn at a score?  Or was WOS on O first?

[adminbaberuth]

FW failed to score on 1st poss of OT. Didn't want to risk fumble, penalty or sack on 3rd down.

[the sports guy]

He was just trying to win the game.  It was close.....just didnt pan out. If it was made the coach would have been a hero.

[/quote]Exactly right, bad snap or hold you get a second chance. The way he was kicking I would have bet the house on him making it. Danged if you danged if you dont kinda deal.

Seems to be the correct call from what I have read.... your opposition fails to score on first possession.... you have the ball within FG range.... so instead of running another play and getting a penalty that pushes you out of range, or a fumble....  you take the FG try on 3rd down so that if you have a mis handle of the football you still have another shot at the FG or a hail mary for the endzone if its a bad lose on the snap..... I see no problem with this call at all.... other than the kick was missed....

just my opinion...

Too many coaches in the stands. ;D

Even though their kicking game is much improved it's never been their strong point and has cost them games in the past.

That is exactly correct in my opinion.  Could've been handled several ways, but the call by the coach was not a bad one.

I agree.

[skipper]

glad we got a week off lots of work to do on both sides of the ball .the kids at wo-s now know thay can play with the BIG boys becouse nederland has a super bunch of kids and fan support and frindswood has one of the better running backs in texas and there fan support friday was outstanding

[kicker]

Although i didn't agree with the call, it isn't m place to critisize. Trust me, coach t has been around the block. There was a good reason for him to do it. Personally, I would have run another play. On that drive, lindsey was running through them. We had third and goal from the 9. Id bet that we score. But the way beasly was kicking, I see why they tried the fg.
