  • The only way to get comments on here is to say something controversial about a player.

  • That rookie long snapper needs to send Feely a Rolex.

  • You mean Feagles?

  • No, Feagles did a fantastic job getting the high snap down.
    by EastCoastBias   January 21, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • Yeah, that's what I meant, if Feagles doesn't get the snap down, the long snapper is the goat, not Tynes. And it's a lot harder for a long snapper to go from goat to hero than it is for a kicker.

  • Good point. That save put half the blame on Feely.

  • I mean Tynes.

  • You nailed this!! If the 49ers game was not number 1 then we were going to have some problems! lol

  • Actually, they aren't in any particular order. Seeing that happen at the end of regulation last night though definitely flashed me back to one of the weirdest botched field goals, the Giants-Niners Wild Card game. Every Giants fan in America was screaming "SPIKE THE BALL! JUST SPIKE THE BALL!"

  • I'd have to go with Romo against the Seahwaks last year. It wasnt even a FG, it was a damn PAT practically.

  • The others on the list weren't gimmies at all, so that's a good point.
    by EastCoastBias   January 21, 2008   Reply   Options  
  • You know? A botch is a botch though. The kicker never has a chance if the snap and/or hold is bad.

  • I thought they were all quite funny. Thanks for the chuckle.
