Let's talk about the onsides kick today

I liked the onsides kick. Finally a little bit of guts. Unfortunately, it was one of the few things to be happy about after this win.

PS We should use our 2-pt conversion play on short-yardage inside the 10--it works better!


they called that play earlier in the redzone and it failed miserably... it looked like JC stared down the outside route and it was covered.


AS far as the call... hell yeah it was gutsy. I said it in the game thread, but if you call a conservative offense when your d is playing lights out, you have to step it up when your d is struggling.

I do hope GW can get these guys back on track. they did get the job done, but did not look like the same unit we saw prior to the pats game... i wonder if the pats gave everyone enough film to watch to expose us for the rest of the year....

The ultra-conservative, sometimes suspect playcalling in other games would have been more toward settling for the extra pt. and putting it on the defense to keep NY out of field goal range.

It was a good call and a good play.


had they gone for one, i think gibbs would have been fired for senility... one does you no good, you may as well come out and take a knee.

your d is going to try to stop them either way, but if you get one, and they kick a field goal they win... if you get none and they kick a field goal they win...

you're realy not helping yourself with the extra point at all..

get the "point" ;)

Yeah, but like I said, if in going for two your qb, who fumbled three times last week, does it again or throws a pick, either of which could easily end in a Jets TD, you're in a big shit pile of trouble. Would those necessarily be my thoughts standing on the sidelines? How about no, Scott. But ultra-conservative play-calling has sort of been the standard, wouldn't you say, Scott?

you cant score a td on an extra point try... when you intercept it the play is dead...

who the hell is scott?

You're missing the point. There is only one play to run there--2 pt conversion. Every coach in the NFL would run it, and would be properly criticized if they didn't. Since kicking does you NO GOOD THERE, you might as well try it.

As for picks and fumbles--that could happen on any play. By your logic, JC shouldn't have touched the ball today. Either he can play, and you run your offense, or you bench him. But once the decision is made to play him, in that situation, you go for 2--every time.

And, yeah, who the hell is Scott?

My bad.:doh: On the other hand, I think there are some players who've forgotten that little rule too - I remember a pick on conversion I think from last year where the dude took off down the field.

there's a more pressing issue at hand.... who's "scott"???
