The fuck type of playcalling was that? Motherfuckers thinking they're the Eagles and Donovan McNabb at the reigns. Fredex was not showing up on that play.

 

[bob_arctor]

Pete putting it on the D. I can see not kicking the FG due to the cold/possible snap issues but you can't do that all game. Vikes score here would be huge.

 

[CrocMother]

Doesn't cold weather help things? Longest kick in the NFL was during a December game in Denver.

There's cold weather, then there is cold weather. I'm not a physicist, but something happens.

Interesting call but not a bad one.

48 yard field goal in these condtions is super dicey, short yardage punt with a busted Ryan is also dicey.

Might as well run a play and hope you can convert the 4th and if not you move the ball slightly further away from your own goal line.

Yeah it was the smartest play.

 

[Afrikan]

can we get a GTA "Wasted" edited into this gif?

 

[BlackGhost]

It's possible. I'm sure the kicker was relieved that he didn't have to kick that brick

Nice hair.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is Outkast considered pop or rap cause that is who I listen to

That is classic pop.

Denver's altitude helps kickers more than the cold hurts them. (For the same reason that lots of home runs are hit at the Rockies' ballpark)

But no in general moving the ball through the air at all (passing, kicking, punting) becomes more difficult in colder weather conditions.

 

[eznark]

Why would they try a 47 yard field goal? Are all of you new??

Savagery, LMAO

That ball must feel like a rock in these temps.

According to Wiki it was 13 degrees when Prater made that kick. Not as cold as this, but still well below freezing.

 

[CrocMother]

have you all seen how the punts are going? i honestly don't know if they could make a 47 yarder at this point. obviously if it was late in the 4th they'd try it but it's no gimme

Should have just punted then. Pin em back, get a 3 and out and you get the ball back in Vikings territory

 

[LionPride]

It's booming with garbage these new kids happen to like though. Outside of Kendrick, Cole and sometimes Drake it's all trash. This is why I still listen to mostly older rap

It really isn't though. I'm also able to listen to shit that's just club banger type music. Stuff like Future, Waka, etc. Groups like WatchTheDuck with their EDM/hip-hop style. It's still good.

 

[Grexeno]

Walt Coleman is like please send help it's fucking cold

 

[B.O.O.M]

I'm still angry...fuck

 

[demigod]

PI after the guy catches the ball, gj refs.

 

[jakncoke]

Who are you calling jdez? Lol

The new bungled fan that keeps spelling burfect

 

[WesternHeretic]

I don't understand what we are doing... so cold our team losing its mind. Jesus.... what the fuck.

 

[ampere]

Yeah gotta wonder how hard it is to kick right now. Still if they were gonna go for it why not pass to the first down marker instead of so short

 

[CrispyBoar]

They were around the 20 yard line, for pete's sake.

Doesnt it get cold in Seattle too? Not THIS cold but..

They were at the 30, son.

Ugh, I've got a really bad feeling about this game.

 

[massivekettle]

Mike Bennett should stop cutting inside.

Could have something to do with humidity. Denver is a dry cold

Spoiler

I'm talking out my ass

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Bevell Ball.

as usual, the player was literally wide open and no one within 5 yards of him so i don't know how realistic it is to expect that type of route to develop consistently

 

[BlackGhost]

Browns shot out! Woooooahh! We're famous....

 

[BannedEpisode]

Lol and their holder is busted.

 

[slightconfuse]

Let Teddy Slang it

Seattle is bitch made I bet record low is low is like 29 in1935

 

[CrispyBoar]

But they were still within the FG target range.

 

[boxter432]

Two passes to backup tight ends at the LOS. Just awful. Also how Ellison got hurt last week.

 

[KingBroly]

Terrible playcalling

 

[chuckddd]

Because missed calls never happen, right?

Look, let's settle this Shazier thing.

Firstly, I'll say that it was clearly against the rules. It should be flagged and hits like that should be removed from the game.

But the fact of the matter is that it is NEVER called. Not once has spearing been called on a play unless the ball carrier was already on the ground. It's the same rule that's supposed to keep runners from lowering their heads into contact. Also, NEVER called.

To expect the refs to throw a flag for that kind of hit, for the first time in the history of the league, in the middle of a playoff game is ridiculous.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I saw the Panthers literally freeze to death on this field last year.

The weather definitely changes things unless you're Colin Kaepernick

 

[B.O.O.M]

Seahawks defense is showing up

 

[eznark]

But they were still within the FG target range.

What field goal target range? What are you talking about? The TV overlay? That doesn't take into account conditions.

 

[BannedEpisode]

But they were still within the FG target range.

47 yard field goals in sub zero weather aren't easy.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Well isn't 4th and 13 the time to try a deep throw? It's low percentage no matter what, might as well go for something with the best reward.

 

[watershed]

Thank god the Vikings offense decided to stop trying.

 

[yankeehater]

Eagles just finished their interview with Pederson. Fuck you ez.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Battle of defenses

needs more fuckball

[Afrikan]

on that 4th down play.. with the Seahawks known luck..

I'm surprised they didn't throw it beyond the 1st down marker.. hell throw it into the endzone... either TD, PI, INT, or touchback. Worse case realistic scenario, incomplete and Vikes get the ball at the 30 yard line.
