I actually missed kickoff, and was on the road, listening on radio.
You know, radio gives you a better feel for the crowd, than tv, I think. There's something "canned" sounding about the crowd on tv. But with radio, I dont know... it just sounds "right there," and more real. anyway, enought of that tangent. My point is, the crowd, on radio, was audibly delighted with the call. For those of you who were there, it sounds like the crowd loved the call, and was just as happy, as if they had kicked he FG. I mean, it did put the Giants on their own 9. |

Didn't mind a fake... but I would have liked to put points on the board first.

It was the right call - even if it didn't convert to a first down or score.
First, it reminds your team that football is fun. Second, the play call gets the other team thinking instead of reacting; a split second in the NFL is a HUGE difference. Third, though FG blocks are rare in the NFL - it makes the opposition stay "home" in further FG attempts... It was early in the game and there would be plenty of more opportunities to win the game... I thought Graham made a hell of an adjustment to get as much as he did; and judging from the body language and reaction of Daniel; it seemed the throw made have been "bad." |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

ANd it got the Beast into game mode. I am sure some G-men gave it to Graham then so he paid them interest. |
