If you have a competent kicker...

[Philly Dawg]

I've about decided you should almost always kick the field goal. The exception is being down more than 17 points in the fourth quarter.

Freezuz was hoping God would be there for him.

Seriously, did you think that would get a laugh?

 

[DerHntr]

They should have kicked it for sure.

Freeze has purchased his kicker, but delivery isn't until Feb.

Judging by other comments tonight by him, it appears to be par for the course.

Yep. Sometimes coaches outcoach themselves in an effort to outcoach the opponent. Ritter hit from 54 against Texas so he's more than just competent.

Really proud of the way our defense played though. Outside of the one long run by Yeldon, they more than held their own. The offense moved the ball well a few times, getting to the Bama 25 four times but then Freeze was just too aggressive. The trick pass by Treadwell that got intercepted still has me scratching my head.

Ths only time God was with the Bears on a field goal was in 1983 in Jackson.

You can add extra points to that comment as well. To hell with 2 point conversion attempts in the first half.

In the Falcons defense last night, they would be down one score either way in the 10-3 situation. Usually how many scores up or down would be the deciding factor. However, it was too early in the game to try that nonsense, and that decision is a big part of why they lost. I think the one who said 17 down in the 4th is about right; 19 is technically three scores, but in practicality it's four because the liklihood of converting 2 points twice is low.

 

[Philly Dawg]

Definitely agree. We outsmarted ourselves in the Auburn game.

Nah. That was the debil:
