it was supposed to work out as a squib kick..they have the ball on their 35 or so with 3 secs....1 play....they can't reach the endzone on a single throw..

that would have to have been one hell of a squib kick, we were kicking from the 20, they would have still gotten it close to midfield if we squibbed it.

I've always been a Payton supporter, but I actually thought he didn't have one of his better games today. Up 6 points, on a 4th and 2, on the 13 yard line, and we go for it? I know we got it, but if we didn't, that could have been detrimental. I know Mehlhaff missed that extra point, but it was a 30 yard field goal to put us up by 2 possessions. I thought it was unwarranted. Then when, I think Chambers caught that touchdown pass and we challenged it? I thought it was not even close enough to warrant, he easily had both knees inbounds. And finally, the safety. We basically just gave them 2 points and a chance to win. If we just punt in that situation, we can kick it high if we want or angle it, there was 14 seconds on the clock, and it would have easily gotten down to at the least, 8 seconds with the punt, maybe down to 5 depending if he tried to return it. Then, yes, they still get the one hail mary, but at worst, they make it, then have to kick the extra point to go to overtime, or go for 2 and the win.

Did you watch the game? Damn, get your story straight before posting that stupid shite. We were up by 7, not 6, Vincent Jackson caught the TD, not Chambers. And, finally, all you jacktards need to shut the frick up and enjoy that we won a game and stop nit picking the frick out of a play that WAS THE RIGHT CALL. Had it been executed a little better (by that I mean blocking), then Drew could have ran the clock down to at least 3 seconds or better. And yes he was the right man for the play, not the NEW punter we just signed.

Some people just don't know concepts and strategy and bitch no matter what. If we won by 40, there would still be some damn saintards on here ranting about something.
