ECCENTRICERIC69 Hightower dislocated his shoulder on the play before the INT he would’ve ran in donte Hightower even said he was worried they would run it again cuz he knew there was no way they’d be able to stop him
Doesn’t change the fact that, for as much practice as they did for this play, the team still lined up wrong and were penalized. So even if they snapped the ball and caught them with too many men on the field, it would have been negating penalties. So execution error on multiple parts not just on snapper.
It wasn't that hard. They did a fake formation to try and get the patriots to sub different personnel and they could possibly draw a penalty for too many men. But the Patriots called their bluff. And I think the formation was illegal anyways.
@@ManhattanProject9 You're wrong. I know this is old but if the refs catch a team with 12 man on the field and that extra player isn't trying to get out they'll throw the flag before the snap. So Colts would get the 1st down. Problem was the coach adding more tidbits to the trick play without telling everyone involved.
Did we ever find out which game that was? I know he said it was the Steelers in Pittsburgh on SNF, but I can't find that clip anywhere. I NEED to see that before I die
A few days later, a Division II college from Maine sent a video to the Colts, showing them pull off the Swinging Gate play perfectly. "See? That's how it's done."
It's pretty awesome that Pat McAfee was both on that team when that happened and then later had the perfect platform to actually explain it to everyone. I like how he stood up and did it so formally too like "The people deserve to know the truth."
What is particularly great about this play is that the Colts decided to try it against the Patriots. A team that had not called a time out with 1 minute left in the Superbowl the year before, backed up on their own 1-yard-line. They thought they might get THAT team to panic and call timeout or jump. If this play had been run against about 26 other teams, it would have succeeded. Also, a hat tip to the fact that Edelman, who had been back to receive the punt 50 yards downfield, is about 7 steps away from making the tackle, because the play took THAT long.
I still think this is the dumbest play. He says they practiced the play and it worked but everyone forgets not only did the play not work but they got a penelty for illegal formation so how did the play work in practice. Still the dumbest play in NFL history.
@MegaTravioli The Colts play wasn’t even legal so you can’t put that bad lateral ahead of the Colts play. The Colts actually put the horrible play in practice. The Patriots play actually had a chance of succeeding, if the pass is caught by Mac Jones, there is a 1% chance that it works, while the Colts play had 0% chance of working. There were two guys right next to Colt Anderson. The Colts didn’t even attempt to run a play. The Patriots at least tried to run a play. It failed miserably, but you can’t put say that the play is as bad as the Colts play. The guy got tackled immediately.
I'll still go with the Giants only needing one kneel-down for the win against the Eagles, but Bob Gibson called for a run, Pisarcik objected, Csonka tells Pisarcik "Don't give me the ball." Then Pisarcik, not knowing that Csonks really meant it, turns around to give it to him and it gets knocked from his hands, scooped by Edwards, and they get a loss. In Vegas the Pats only turned an overtime game into a loss.
“Illegal formation. The whole right side was not on the line of scrimmage. Offense. This penalty is declined the result is first down for New England” - The referee in the game.
Incredible Jake That is what I’m confused about how would this play ever work if they were line up illegally? So if New England were to substitute wouldn’t it just be off setting penalties?
@@connoruzlik4793 because the play got messed up on field. The guys who ran to the left were supposed to line their front 5 on the ball, instead they all lined up off the ball.
Chuck Door yes it is an illegal formation based on the fact that 7 people need to be on the line of scrimmage for it to be legal and if you can count there are not 7 people on the line, you’re just an idiot saying it’s legal when you don’t even know what a legal formation is supposed to be hahah
Pat McAfee: Kickers aren't football players. Also Pat McAfee: Explains everything about football. Also Pat McAfee: Wins Punt, Pass, and Kick competition. Also Pat McAfee: Erases kick returner out of bounds after one of his kicks. Also Pat McAfee: Can't believe it when you line up in the C gap.
I think Dallas may have de-throned you with the final play in the 2023 Divisional playoffs against the 49ers. They had an ineligible man downfield that wasn't called because their formation was so bizarre even the officials were confused.
King Amen-Tut-Ankh they never did. They legally filmed from an illegal point on the sidelines (whereas you can legally film from only certain spots). Read the rules before being another ignorant fool lol
That's really nice to hear that Pat MaCafee stood up for his teammate and tried to clear the water because Griff was just trying to make it and that play didn't help and it was just a miscommunication and Griff just happened to get caught in it. It's really nice when players stand up fot their teammates like that
This will probably get lost in the sea of comments, but i absolutely love this show, I watch it every single day, i love learning more about the nfl especially from a previous players perspective! this show is a hilarious way to get the facts and learn more about this amazing sport and its players!
That’s how i feel about Danger Talk, Russell Wilson’s show. Like he was saying how that 2 point conversion to Luke Wilson in the 2014 NFC Championship wasn’t what was originally planned at all
Really? Because it sounds to me he is trying to throw him under the bus. Even though they were lied up illegally, and there is literally no possible way this trick could work. Pagano should have been fired that day.
Brian Cobbett He explained what happened. The why, how, what, when and who. No one was thrown under the bus. If anybody was throwing anyone under the bus. It’s you. Asking for a man to be fired after the play. No even at the end of the season or the game. That moment it happened. To me, seems kinda harsh.
#1 worst play: the Butt fumble, also the most comical play ever #2 worst play: throwing the dam ball on the one yard line to lose the superbowl #3 worst play: that fake punt not punt The one thing all of these plays have in common is the opponent. Teams get so worked up they find ways to beat themselves when they play the evil empire. Love the show keep up the great work. GO PATRIOTS #GFY #RipMikeGolic
@Ryan Snider yeah will see. I don't see it being over this or next year this year Is the defenses turn to carry the team while a new offense gets on track. but again will see
Thanks mate, I’m glad that you cleared that up as I’ve always wondered what happened that day and you did right sticking up for your mate, people make mistakes and he was doing the best he could with the knowledge that he had, good on ya, you could be an Aussie mate :)
I glad he explained this, because I've seen it probably 10 times and up until this point I still didn't understand what in sweet fuck they were thinking that day.
There was also the field goal that straight up lost the game when a touchdown was the only way to win. I’d say that’s the worst play because there is no scenario in which that play works. There’s at least a plan behind the play that could’ve worked.
Matt Derro haha lol nice one. Yes agreed worst play call. but yah, it was a solid play. just amazing defense. that's all. no mistake like this fake punt deal.
No longer worst play in NFL , Patriots vs Raiders this week (Dec/2022) with no time left throwing the ball around like Stanford did only to land in arms in Raiders for a win.
Amazing. Intriguing that the amount of relative interest (very little) I had and the sport media’s obsession (very much) to talk about it on every show, but their lack of interest to explain it, that it took me four & a half years to get an answer.
How’d you get touchdown running a play where there is no play called?! There literally was no play. No receivers went out. No blockers. You didn’t run THIS play.
Andy Sanders Actually we did. We just changed it a little. There was me the snapper who has to protect the one guy behind me. The other line moved to the other side of the field. Then the WRs stood beside them. Mind you This is high school so they got confused and boom wide open WR went in
Phillip Hernandez mexicans always had good relations with the Germans because they want (to this day) the Southwest USA. I guess you don’t read history either.
Pat is sooooo awesome. His old shows are awesome as well. They show how much progression the PMS has made. PMS was NEVER bad but Dahm, the show has definitely changed in the MOST positive of ways. Maybe I’ll signup for Twitter so I can get a shot at some cash monies. Thank you to Da Boys and all involved with this show. This show makes my daily grind as an AMZ driver waayyyy more tolerable. Ty Pat & Da Boys!
That still makes me mad just hearing about that play lol I freaked out at the time and asked myself if I was ever gonna tell anyone I was a colts fan again.
Around 8:30 he rattles off 4 different ways to say missed communication and missed assignment, to make the point of how many things can go wrong. I was like holy cow that’s a lot to go wrong. MA or MC
This was interesting to see. This was my first time seeing this and it's good to finally understand what happened behind the scenes of this play because I remember watching it at the time and just thinking "what the hell went on there?" It just shows how important on-point communication is in any team environment.
I was actually watching this game and rooting for the Colts obviously, y’all were doing really well then this play happened and it completely Changed the momentum, I was pissed 😂😂
Not really. A roadie at a Dream Theater gig who may appear on camera and contribute to the production doesn't get to go post songs on RU-vid. I'll tell you what. Sbnation has a copy of NFL players contract on their site. Check that out. NFL pretty much owns those dudes' souls
My god, thank you for the explanation. I really wish more teams and players did stuff like this (explaining things). Fans appreciate it, and I think they're tired of being left out of the loop.
Disagree, The Worst play was the Seahawks Wilson throwing the interception from the one yard line in the super-bowl when the could have ran it in easily, giving Patriots the win. I threw up in my mouth and vomited out my eyeballs 🤮
