Last possession...

[baumer64]

On our last possession, why an 8 yard out instead of 15 or 20.
I need to watch tape again, but to me, that's all we needed for a FG try. The 8 yards to Baldwin, to me, was a wasted play. It didn't gain us anything.

Time. I was thinking about it too. But if he'd have gone any farther, there would have been no time left on the clock.

Pretty simple, not enough time on the clock.

They were looking for the 15 yard out. That's why.

Yep. I was thinking go for field goal range, but that 8 yard out took almost all the time. Better to play it safe with time, you want to be able to give yourself a chance.

woulda rather seen the 65 yd field goal try with longwell in perfect kicking conditions and nothing to lose. Not sure that has any less chance than a hail mary.

Atlanta's last 2 plays to set up the field goal were as follows: 22 yard pass that took 6 seconds off the clock, and a 19 yard pass that took another 6 seconds off the clock.

There were 6 seconds on the clock when the Seahawks got the ball back....

you guys really think Gramps Longwell had a shot? Maybe 4 years ago.

Not a 38 year old who was at home livin the good life a week ago.
