Much like me in the bedroom late at night. Success is rare tho.

Jod!! Welcome back. Where the hell ya been, my friend??

Incarcerated again. Turns out the rules for felons wearing a mask into a financial institution don't change under the premise of fearing COVID...how could I know THAT?

Out now tho, and on to more important things like...
A) How good are we really going to be this year?
B) Can anyone confirm CDA's whereabouts when all these fires have been popping up everywhere west of the Mississippi?

Hey, happens to the best of us. You keep your head up!

Answers:

A) PDG

B) At Ursa’s house. Or so he claims. But truth be told, Ursa’s Russian mail order bride showed me where he hid his matches once. There were dozens and dozens of boxes of ‘em. I’ll allow you to draw whatever conclusion you may.

Simple misdirection, EG. You’ll never find my alleged accelerants. If I needed matches, I wouldn’t be the best in the business. I don’t, and I am.

Don't lie about why you were incarcerated. I WORK at a large financial institution. We REQUIRE you to wear a mask when you come in. Felon-be-damned. Stop blaming financial institutions!!!! We're not the devil.

I know the REAL reason, Jod, and I'll never tell. But you bussroll my industry again and I'll squawk louder than Edward Fucking Snowden, bro.

 

[Mousegriz]

I was at game and watched it slowly turn into a game the Griz could and did win. Think fans of both teams were surprised. Husky fans sat and worried Griz fans started rolling in the second half. Husky stadium had no "atmosphere" except the one Griz fans created.

I have a couple questions and wonder if anyone else noticed.

1) Why did Griz not work clock more once they took the lead in 4th quarter. During the drive to kick FG to make it 13 - 7 Griz snapped ball with 15 - 20 second left on play clock almost every down. At least 1 minute "saved" by the Griz during that drive. They weren't in any type of hurry up...so why not just milk 10 - 15 more seconds on each play?

2) Did the late 50 yard FG attempt make sense? There was slight wind into the face of kicker and his prior KO came up way short of end zone. This attempt landed just past the goal line. He wasn't going to make that attempt.

If Washington somehow takes its good field position after the missed FG (and the extra minute or more Griz saved them) and scores a late touchdown to win that game....late game clock management by the Griz would have been a big part of it.

That’s what I was wondering, I had a feeling I was getting railroaded. But in fairness I did end up in the vault because the signs were confusing and there was only 1 person running the whole bank, that might have been a factor.

So, nursing a 3 point lead on the road, against an FBS team, with half a quarter left, you want to start using the clock already? What if they didn't make it into FG range and ended up needing that extra time for another drive? Would you then criticize them for previously wasting time?

We pull off a historic win and there is criticism? Let's be happy and talk about all the things that went right and ended in victory.

An attempt that would have made it a 2 score difference with around 2 minutes left? The way our Defense had been playing all game? On the road? You must be hard to satisfy. I'll take that attempt every day.

Let's play your "if" game. If we would have made that last FG, it wouldn't have made any difference if Washington would have scored a TD and made the 2 pt. conversion, we still win.

I'm easily satisfied. Great game I got to attend and Griz won! Just had those questions. The FG attempt less questioned than snapping with 15 seconds a few times on the earlier drive.

Griz took the possession up 10 - 7 with 6:50 left and scored the FG to make it 13 - 7 with 2:54 left. Pretty good 4 minute drive but I felt several plays were run a little too fast in the play clock. If they milk the extra minute + they could have out of that drive that FG is scored with 1:54 or less.

As it is, Griz KO at 2:54 and are forced to hold WA twice in the last 3 minutes. The first time its on 4th down at 1:33. Then WA uses TOs and holds Griz who try the FG at 1:18. Washington moves it a little but is picked at the Griz 30 with 37 seconds left.

What if that FG didn't even have to be tried and 1:18 was more like 0:18 or 0:00? Welnel doesn't get Player of the Week and a few of us "what iffers" don't have to watch a Husky drive that wasn't that far from ruining Bobby's "greatest win ever"!

So..... I still have at least one of my questions and am still damned happy with the result of the game! :clap:

i wonder, if udub had put someone back there who could possibly return the ball, could that have made a difference? or would it be too big a risk, vs getting the ball for sure on the 33 or so yard line? if i was their coach, i'd probably have someone back there, if only to give the kicking team something to think about.

addendum: just tossing out random football tactic possibilities, not criticism. it wasn't that long ago auburn returned a missed fg attempt by alabama for the win, although that kick was from a bit further out. as far as i know, the personnel on fg kicking teams aren't necessarily geared towards tackling, etc...

Wouldn't returning the missed FG only result in 3 points? They would still be behind and we would get the ball?

i think it would result in six points, just like a returned blocked field goal.

No mystery, when the opponent's defense is gassed, you don't give them the rest they need between plays.

There is no difference between returning a FG attempt and a punt. TD.

I believe you are thinking about when a team is attempting point after a touchdown. If a team fumbles the ball while converting a point after a touchdown, and the opposing team recovers the fumble and returns it for a td, then it is just 2 points for the opposing team. But on a field goal attempt, it is a td worth 6 points.

Guess I'm good with that. But if both teams line up and the offense waits an extra 10 - 15 seconds before snapping is the defense getting "rest"? "If and buts" but that last UW drive didn't have to happen....and one big play pops the Griz balloon. Then people start looking at that last 3 minutes a little closer.

Also, milking the clock allows the defense to time the snap consistently. D lineman love knowing when the ball will be snapped.

Thinking outside the box is all you have if you never played the game.
