The Steelers going offsides 3 times is honestly not a bad strategy and kind of a loop hole in the rules. There's no time, and the field goal will most likely be good if its not blocked. You have, essentially, infinite times to try to time the snap perfectly every time to get a block so long as he doesnt get the kick off successfully. Only risk is bringing them so close to the goalline that they attempt a touchdown, which is easier to stop than a field goal.
Yeh, your right. In rugby, the referee has the power to award a penalty try (the equivalent of a TD) if the defending side is just repeatedly going offside or committing other technical offenses to prevent a score. So maybe a penalty point should be awarded after the third offside at a kick.
that's not correct they have the same rules in NFL that @Horror Tackle Harry said about rugby the refs can award the score if you keep committing penalties
this is completely false - I have no idea why it has this many likes. It's the last play of the game and the score is tied, therefore making a field goal just as good as a touchdown. AND, you fail to realize that you can decline penalties... all the kicker has to do is make ONE of the field goals when the opposition commits an offside penalty and boom - the game is over. Going offsides is terrible because the likelihood of a kicker missing a field goal is much higher than the likelihood of going offsides, blocking/affecting the kick, AND the refs not throwing a flag. Essentially, the best case scenario for going offsides is that the kicker, who missed the field goal, now gets another chance
Dexter Lawrence had a perfect jump on the ball. He literally moved when the ball moved, that’s perfect timing. If they would have showed a camera angle from the line of scrimmage, that call would have been reversed and they would have won.
That was an incredibly clever play by the Bucs that almost worked. Yeah, maybe a few too many moving parts but it was an interesting way of throwing a curveball at the defense guarding the goal line.
Really isn't blowing it tho... Because what is the down side to trying to time a field goal that wins it for the other team? Plus the first one was later found to be not offsides.... So who blew it really lol.
7:35 I hate watching this as it basically iced Romo for the rest of his career. But I feel like if 7 blocks better (not blaming him, it's not his job) that's a first maybe even a TD
I think that one from Gurley is more a great play by the DB than a mistake by Gurley. The defender grabs and holds long enough to force Gurley to start chugging to drag him and then the guy lets go and all that built up energy throws him forward into the endzone
As a Steelers fan that whole 2018 pissed me off. Shoulda made the playoffs but we kept losing games that we shoulda won. That chargers game was one of them 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I legit feel bad for Todd Gurley because you can tell he knew he wanted to stop short but breaking free of the defender gave him too much momentum and he didn't know how to correct. It's not often that you're the goat after scoring a touchdown in this game. And that Calvin Johnson play was absolutely a catch, and thank goodness the catch rules are clearer and better these days.
FYI, I believe under the current rules the Calvin Johnson play would still not be a catch, due to the lack of an apparent "football move" (the final component for determining a catch under the current rules).
Man shit was fucked up the most iconic play in Saints history leads to a missed extra point Had that been converted and the saints won in OT That play would be known as the River city Miracle instead of the River City Relay
I hate that you used Luke literally taking brain damage for the final time and coming to the life altering realization that playing football is no longer an option as the thumbnail, using someone’s pain for financial gain is evil
You did Kuechly wrong using that picture as the thumbnail for this video. Unless, of course, getting knocked out on the field from playing your ass off and realizing your career is over is "blowing it."
Thumbnail is an absolute disgrace. That is from when he got another concussion and was crying because he desperately wanted to play and be there for his team. Disgusting tbh.
@@verylateandtired3504 I thought that the concussion caused him to become unexplainably and irrationally emotional rather than him crying over getting hurt and not playing.
I found out it was the rule when Calvin Johnson caught it in the end zone then he had the ball in one hand and didn’t maintain control of the ball through the ground therefore the refs had to call it an incomplete pass!
Agreed. As a panthers fan seeing Luke getting carted off in that game was devastating. Can't believe they would use that as the thumbnail for a video like this.
@@jacobberman4616 I remember i cried like that when my team lost the playoffs in highschool. It’s really not that serious but it was to me who would never play competitive football again. Imagining him who is in the NFL, it’s an entirely different level and almost every player has more passion in what they do
A Reddit post really summed it up well. They said the last remaining questions are if a receiver should be required to take the ball home before it is considered a catch and if the visiting team must return to their home before setting the ball down or if the hotel is acceptable.
I’m actually surprised the Minneapolis Miracle wasn’t on here bc that was a tackle away from the Saints moving on. Biggest “blew it” moments in my opinion.
Imagine talking to the coach about how you were offsides 3 plays in a row to keep giving the other team more chances to win. "... and look at the footage here - even on the third attempt, you made sure to be offsides so that even if he missed it he'd get a fourth chance!"
@@naterksmr I have to wonder if the logic is that he expects the kicker to be able to make it, so he figures he may as well keep trying to jump the snap for a block until he either gets it or until the kicker makes it
5:40 Terrible call. Megatron had possession well long enough after getting his feet down. By the time he hit the ground he had already secured it and completed contact with his feet for the score. Even as a Packers fan I feel bad for the Lions here. Great game winning catch all for nothing thanks to terrible ref ball :/
It’s the rules. He was falling as he made the catch but the ground caused the ball to come loose, just like dez. Falling is not a football move. If a football move was made, the ground causing the ball to come out wouldn’t have mattered
@@Mike2wavvyy yeah but dez was never a runner, same with Jessie James, both were falling with the catch. Ertz catch in the Super Bowl is a good example, he had possession when he became a runner and then made a football move
I will never forget that Calvin Johnson TD that we got cheated out of. Vegas really wanted the Bear's to win that game. The very worst non call was when our TE Pettigrew got completely molested against the Cowboys and they even threw a flag and then picked it up, that killed our chance to continue on in the playoffs. Who say the NFL isn't fixed?!
You might not like the rule, but the refs made a good call......... it may be a bad rule, but it was not rigged against you..... my dude should have just held on to the ball
Literally anyone on the kicking side calling a timeout before a kick attempt could be said to have "iced" his own kicker. What if it's an illegal formation? What if a blocker is missing? What if there is concern about a delay of game? Considering that there is no evidence that timeouts "ice" kickers anyway, I'd say it's more important to feel that the setup is right than to worry about the timeout icing. And if anyone is to blame, it's the special teams coach for being the one to tell the head coach to make the call. But hey, pick your narrative I guess...
I wish they included Rome crying after that fumble that was amazing I was in the National Guard and almost missed the whole game but watching him fail and cry made it all worth it.
The Todd Gurley TD accident loss is 100% on the falcons defense that year. They let the lions drive down the whole field and score a td in 60 seconds. That was not Todd Gurley’s fault at all.
The Calvin Johnson catch (5:37) was a completed catch. Both feet land in the end zone. His butt even lands on the ground as he holds the ball with one hand. That's an automatic touchdown. He can hold the ball with one hand. He's already crossed the plane. Bad call by the refs.
It was actually a good call by the refs....... It's a bad rule, but the rule says you have to keep control through the ground...... not until you have both feet, or your butt in the end zone like you are suggesting. You might not like the rule...... I don't think anyone does, but it was a good call by the refs. The refs don't make the rules, they just enforce them.
Great video, but you cannot forget Dee Ford's offside penalty in the 2018 AFC championship game to negate the interception. This kept the Chiefs from going to the Superbowl.
How is that a you blew it moment in the thumbnail. Luke played his ASS off and then suffered a massive concussion and the panthers even ended up winning that game. Views been too low lately u need such a crazy thumbnail??
Well spoken. Just because one player's mistake was at the end of the game doesn't mean the other players were perfect or that the loss was just their fault
