Did anyone notice the last play of the Lions / Bucs game?

Yes I caught this in real time and couldn’t believe for the life of me that bowles wasn’t calling the last timeout. To do that in any game let alone a playoff game is hard to comprehend. 

Tampa had ZERO chance at a SB entrance. ZERO 

You have a 55% chance of getting a 2 point conversion with 2 tries. When you include that with the 2 extra points it takes to tie (5% chance you miss 1/2) the odds say go for it . I think with the extra point being moved back it changed the odds enough that teams are now doing this.

How so? Are you saying a 2PT conversion is more likely than the kicker chipping an extra point in? I don't see it 

It's not a chip shot any more

This isnt even it.

It is more about the idea that if you kick 2 EPs, you still only have a 50% chance of winning in OT.

@vanzack

You said you realized det would have had a chip shot field goal if bucs used a timeout after the 3rd kneel 

49 yards isn’t a chip shot fg in football

Why do you think it is ? 

I think there has to be some sort of sign language understanding b/n the 2 coaches prior to that series b/c they both fucked up. 

@vanzack

 I will review this video after I get my steak, egg & cheese bagel in the A.M

The whole thing was odd.  Bowles explanation was crazy, a fireable offense imo(even after a successful overachieving season)

If my coach failed to use a time out in a 1 possession game in the fn playoffs because he didn’t want to “delay the inevitable “, I’d be fn furious.  Missed fg, blocked fg, or anything could happen.  Then you got mike freaking evans try to make a miracle happen.

@vanzack

First of all Goff only burned about 23 seconds roughly off the play clock on second down before kneeling

Goff didn’t let it run down to 2 seconds or so or he would have kneeled around the 49 second mark roughly unlike the 1:06 u mention in this thread

Goff can see the play clock winding down obviously but it wasn’t relavent and he knew it hence the early kneel down with plenty more time left on the play clock

Goff can’t be that stupid to leave all that time on the play clock , he knew bowles had folded 

Also if there was a time out called there would never have been a fg from 49 yards , because that’s not a CHIP SHOT in the nfl as u believe it is in this thread

a miss fg attempt and the bucs are roughly around Hail Mary range 

it would of been a punt obviously , probably out of bounds 

nothing strange here at all 

Alright.  Not a chip shot.  I get it.  My bad.  Even more reason to call the timeout.

Yup.

You must be fun at parties.

Blah blah blah.  There was a decision to make at 37 seconds.  He could have called the timeout.  The Lions would have to try a 49 yarder or punt or go for it.

He could have done this.  There is no argument.  And he might have had 30 seconds to try and tie it up.

@vanzack

Goff didn’t burn the play clock on second down, u see that in your clock numbers here in your thread 

again that explains that Bowles had waived the flag 

hope that helps you 

I get it.  Read that again.  I get it.

BUT BOWLES COULD HAVE CALLED A TIMEOUT WITH 37 SECONDS ANYWAY.

@vanzack

Why would Goff not burn another 17 or 18 seconds roughly off the play clock on 2nd down ? 

are u saying he can’t see theres roughly 20 second on the play clock when he kneels , come on man he’s not blind 

he could of ran it all the way down to 2 seconds if he wanted , snapped it and kneeled 

But bowles called it , obviously ! A common occurrence in the nfl for decades 

Bowles folded obviously, why do you think they didn’t run it in first down ,the lions knew he folded

 it’s called a coach respecting the game and it’s unwritten rules 

he’s not going to disrespect his opponents and the game itself 

The "guy" said game over...no need to call timeout.

@vanzack

Got it just trying to help you understand all that

you can also look at flip side , if bowles doesn’t fold , the lions run a play , look at the clock now …..

at the end of the day the bucs were done ! 

@vanzack

you say u realize the lions have a chip shot fg 

A 49 yard fg attempt 

Is a chip shot ? Sure ! 

this guy attacks the old man for posting 500 unit plays , 84.6 % 

He’s a specialist   But doesn’t know

what a chip shot fg is
