Yes, easy three points....You may want to double check your stats.......Or you can go to http://bucsscene.theledger.com/ and let me know if you still feel the same way....... Bucs were at the 25 yard line which makes it a 42 yard field goal.......... Yes, this should be easy for an NFL kicker… DO YOU AGREE NOW!!!!!!!!!
Again, Maybe I’m OK with it if it was 4th and 1 or 2 but Definitely not 4th and 6........
Curious if you are in agreement now that it was a bad call....Remember the weather was good and to my knowledge Matt Bryant was not hurt unless you know something I don’t…
I checked, got the yardage wrong, sorry. Still, over 40 yards is not a chip shot. Bryant has not made all his kicks from that range, he is 5 of 6. He is 0 for 3 at 50 or more. Maybe Gruden should have kicked it, but I don’t think he is a bum for going for it. For goodness sake, the guy won more games than he lost this year by going for it (New Orleans comes to mind).
I still believe that Gruden is smart for playing to have his players in the playoffs. It would not bother me a minute if we watch McCown, Pittman, Spurlock, and other second and third stringers against Carolina. As long as they win against the Giants, I could care less what happens with Carolina. Momentum be damned if they win against the Giants, that is enough momentum for me - and probably enough for any NFL coach.
