Ok now I need blood pressure meds....

Yeah, we dodged a bullet at the end. Our kicker can make that kick. No excuse for not taking the FG.

We are back to .500 now! Let the season begin!

It pretty close with calling a time out before the half in the Saints game

I definitely think we should have kicked there (Carpenter is a good kicker. That's a kick he should make.), but hey, we won. Feels great.

And it comes close to the pass play last week....

They didn't try the field goal because it was longer than a chip shot, and I'm guessing they thought the risk of a block and runback was too great, esp. with so man of our blockers injured. I'm not even sure how many of the starting OL is on FG kicking team but for whatever reason they thought the risk was too great.

I agree they should have had Ricky in there. My only guess is they were afraid he might fumble, BUT he was hot tonight. Gotta dance with the one that brung ya....and Ricky 'brung' the team tonight. He would have gotten the first down.

Going to bed. Night all

Night KC

Im happy hilliard didnt fumble...............He got popped twice big time.

I don't think the issue was whether our kicker can make that kick. I think the issue was whether our line, with all the injuries, could have provided protection. I'll bet they were worried Carpenter might not have gotten the kick off without it being blocked.

Good point. In fact, with our 2 top centers out, who would have snapped the ball to the holder? Bad snap means bad kick.

Sparano: "Our field goal team was absolutely patched up"

my guess was right. He just said so at the podium. He even said "we knew our guy could make the kick" it was the blocking he was worried about.

Our long snapper wasn't among the injured though was he?

Just got home from the game! Awesome win.

Ricky looked great, Henne looked OK, I was even a little impressed with Hilliard on the few touches he had early. Wished he just woulda went down on that last drive...near fumble. And last but not least....Teddy had an impressive game. Some clutch first down catches and a couple good returns.

Question...if we weren't going to kick the fg at the end, why not do a quick kick or something just to get the ball down field a little more? Where was Ricky? Sometimes I wonder where Sparano's head is at the end of these games!

Either way....a win is a win!

3 yards was a little much. I may have tried to get Henne and Ginn to try and hook up for an intentional "give the ball to the other team" interception at the 10 or something. Who knows, tell Ginn to help the defense get an INT and he may make the catch!!

Oh yeah, so they can run the INT all the way back for a score..brilliant!
