Look at Eddie Mac shed those tacklers! And pancake block that linebacker! Elway got spun through the air by no less than three tacklers just to keep his drive going. Terrell Davis was BLIND in the second quarter, but still went out there and took a fake handoff so the Packers would think he had the ball and let Elway sneak into the end zone, and a big enough threat that it WORKD; how much do you need to know to appreciate that?</foaming at the mouth>

1. Where is the goal, I saw none of them scoring!

The moment any part of the ball "breaks the plane of the goal line" it's a touchdown: 6 points. Ball is placed on the two yard line, where the team can make a Point After Try, place kicking through the uprights for one point (98% of the time, 98% successful) or try to break the plane again for two points.

After Elways windmill tackle, TD goes into the end zone two plays later--only because Elway made his run for >6 yards on third down. Otherwise, it's fourth (and final) down, and Denver:

1) goes for it a final time, losing the ball if they fail (so they wouldn't have tried) or

2) placekicks the ball through the uprights for a 3 point field goal (only happened twice in the whole game, which was all TDs. )

The third option, if a lot farther from the end zone, is drop kick the ball to the other team, who'd run it back until tackled, then have 4 downs to go 10 yards from wherever tackled. Keep going until they either score or can't get 10 yards in 3 plays, at which point they have the same options: Punt, try a field goal or go for it on 4th down.
2. That was totally a foul, the guy was tackled badly when the ball was nowhere close!

Clean hit; a block entirely on the front is legal. Can't block in the back (anything on the side counts, too) but unless you go for his head you're pretty much good. Pancake block (as in "flat as a. " )
3. That many men lying in the same pile can really only interest the gay population around here.

Some guys won't go down (so to speak.... ;))

You're thinking of the '97 Packers... - 30/09/2009 10:17:41 PM 405 Views
broncos are better than packers? who is the trophy named after again? *NM* - 30/09/2009 10:27:15 PM 201 Views

Defensive pressure trumps absolutely everything else in football. '85 Bears were the kings. - 01/10/2009 09:37:37 PM 380 Views
I disagree with that statement as well as many of your others. - 02/10/2009 12:43:33 AM 491 Views
Have a look at the teams to win the SB since '80 and then we'll talk. - 02/10/2009 02:54:48 AM 392 Views
I referenced teams that have won since the '80s, as well as one from before then. - 02/10/2009 03:53:47 AM 560 Views
You sound more and more ridiculous with each new post. - 03/10/2009 03:48:09 AM 399 Views
