One thing Baby-T DID provide was emotional support for Carpenter (fist pump!). I wonder if this is why he's struggling now

I believe he has. Started missing late fg's at the end of the '10 season and carried over to last year.

Something is going on with his mechanics. He is kicking knuckle balls. Hopefully the ST coach can get it fixed ASAP.

“I'm here" You're welcome!" - Kenny Powers

My wife and kids and I treated my nephew, a San Francisco 49ers fan, to a birthday dinner last night.

I put the two decisions to him.

He did not so much agree with me on the Jets game and said that the only quarrel he had with the Jets overtime 2nd and 8 long bomb was that he might have tried a shorter pass and not gone with the Hail Mary.

However, he just kept mumbling "It's insane" about the Arizona 1st and 10 on the opponents 39 yard line and Tannehill goes back to pass and is sacked and fumbles with 2:57 minutes on the clock. He just kept saying, "running down the clock is running down the clock. That's it."

But like I said, this thread was half-way a joke even by me. It was just meant to say that in those TWO games, Baby T would have been better at those critical decisions.

But like some of you have pointed out, we probably would not have been that close in those games because those crucial throws by Tannehill that got us those points and positions would not have been made because they would have been ordered to be runs up the middle instead.

And even I said that while Baby T probably would have won those 2 games, we would probably have ended up 3-13 on the season in total.
