I love you my friend, but I don’t think there’s a 5% chance of that. Converting a 4th and 10 and getting out of bounds with 8 seconds left and the defense guarding the boundary is plausible if you’ve got Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams or even Cousins and Garçon or something. But Colt McCoy to Josh Doctson or Michael F. Floyd? If you had a timeout (and the middle field available), sure. But you saw the throw on 2nd and 10 to Floyd. Colt has more guts than just about anybody — but he just doesn’t have the arm to throw a deep out to the sideline against a team (that knows it’s coming) to a receiver who barely belongs on a roster. The key though is that even if you do accomplish all that, you’re still looking at a 50+ yard FG. And if we’re saying Hopkins has a 0% chance of making from 60+ because he’s injured, how likely is it that he really drills one from 52ish?

They’re not going to do anything outlandish. Ironically, this is what they should've done in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he's not making a 63 yarder even when healthy. But an injured kicker can still probably hit a 50 yarder. Still, I don't think we get the 4th down unless we have the bolded.

turtle28 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I take back my previous statement, I just saw Alex’a leg break from a different angle and it did flop all over the place. The break was just lower as others have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The break was just lower as others have said. Yeah, I didn't see it. But from what you guys said and the fact that they said both of the lower leg bones were broken, it pretty much had to flop around. Its literally physics at that point. Nothing structural to hold up the muscles, tendons, etc... Your leg becomes like a wet noodle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so if the refs didn't call the PI here, then we got jobbed out of a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just WAY short. If it was a 5% chance, it's better than the 0% that the kick there was gonna have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t blame them for going and getting Smith. What I meant was to just roll with Colt and find a journeyman to back him up. Draft a QB this year or get one next year. I know we've been over this, but its not a no brainer to trade what we did for a 34yr old QB and then give him an extra $71M on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
