Week 6 Other Games

[RobH]

Actually, the Browns scored a TD and went ahead 20-16. They went for 2 to go up by 6 points and didn't make it.

Thanks Rich. It makes a little more sense that way.

What the hell was that trick play? Not even legal.

That could be the worst trick play I have ever seen. Why would anyone run a play like that, especially in their own territory?

[Bolt-O]

Colts know they must take chances... just like the Chargers. But that doesn't excuse stupidity, like that play.

Wow, what a fail!

What's the point in going up 6 instead of 5?

The Broncos had to score a touchdown either way to take the lead so the correct call for the Browns would have been to kick the extra point and force the Broncos to go for two, to go up three. They screwed up and put the onus on themselves to go for two instead of the Broncos.

The moral of this story is that the Browns will be the Browns and the Broncos are the luckiest 6-0 team ever.

I'm glad that we're not Browns nor Colts fans. No reason to go for 2, and WTF what that trick play??!!! Fire (Colts) Pagano now!

Just watched the trick play. Maybe that trick play was to draw somebody offsides? The coach was asking why the ball was hiked so I have to assume the Colts were hoping for a penalty and, except for the two guys involved in the play, not expecting to actually run that play.

Whatever - it looked ridiculous, not even legal.

6 means the other team has to make an extra point to win.

6 means the other team has to make an extra point to win.

Even with the longer XP, the percentages are still in the favor of converting an XP over a 2 point play. The Browns played against the percentages instead of with it.

I'm not sure why they would go for 2. I was scratching my head at the time. And yes, the Broncos are the luckiets 6-0 team. Manning throwing a pick in OT that gave the Browns the ball at the 39 yard line and they lost 17 yards are the next 3 plays. One of these days that defense won't be able to bail out the bad QB Manning has quickly become. I'm going to love seeing how that D does against the Packers in 2 weeks.

Having a great defense isn't luck. It's cheating. Broncos bought that defense by busting the salary cap.
Do I have proof? No. But that's the Broncos history.
