Sharpe notices game changing play

[Jesterhole]

I had forgotten about this play, but Sharpe is on the money.

"One of the examples, the Broncos ran for 191 yards and led most of the game against the Giants. With nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, offensive lineman George Foster committed a holding call. Instead of the first down and the clock continuing to run, they move back 10 yards, stop the clock, and three plays later, Jason Elam misses a 30-yard field goal. Two series later, the Giants win the game on the final drive. "

Flags killed us, both real and phantom calls. I guess the silver lining to this game is that we just need to learn to put teams away in the 4th, instead of letting them rally.

The fact that we can get so far ahead is good news though.

Didn't realize Elam missed a 30 yard FG late in the game.... HE SUCKS!

Oh, you mean it was a 49 yarder, okay he's good again!

This has to be Sterling Sharpe....If it were Shannon Sharpe it would read like this:


"One of da example, da Bronco ran for 191 yard and led most of da game against da Giant. With nine minute leff in da fourff quarter, offensive lineman George Foster commit a holding call. Instead of da first down and da clock continue to run, dey move back 10 yard, stop da clock, and tree play later, Jason Elam miss 30-yard field goal. Two series later, da Giant win da game on da final drive. "

That is so funny, NOT.

This is why all of this, "you just gotta make a play" talk can be a little silly. Fact is, they did make a couple of plays, including that run and the abolutley horrid block in the back call on Alexander, that would have allowed them to easily ice the game. They were just negated by penalties. My read was that the hold on Foster was a marginal call that would have been fine in a game where holding was being called tightly (though Van Pelt said on the fan last night that replays showed it to be a horrible call). I don't think anyone thinks the block in the back was a good call.

My first thought was how ticky-tack that call was in light of all the times our D linemen were tackled.....errrr, blocked, throughout the game.

[Circle Orange]

this assumes the rest of the game would be played the same way. That's why these assumptions don't work. Coaches ajust their strategy based on remaining time and points scored, especially if they decide to try a two point conversion.

Good teams must overcome mistakes, including penalties.

He's still upset that Sharpe destroyed his team several times and ultimately became the greatest TE of all-time hands down. Someone that Tony Gonzalez can only look up at in awe. Give Naptown some slack. He's bitter.

[OrangeShadow]

or lynch missing that tackle

But that's the point I'm making. How many times must they overcome it? On one view, they overcame the horrible block in the back call with the run, but that was called back too.

After 2 horrid penalties on that drive, the team still overcame them and gave Elam a shot to win it. I though they did a fantastic job of even getting back in position for that FG. Just a little wind knocked it right. ouch

yea, listening to the updates on the radio they had said Denver was inside the 20 in the 4th and then next thing i know the score was the same. it is a real concern that Jason isnt clutch anymore like he used to be. 30 yarders are nothing to most kickers in the NFL. that would have iced the game cause i dont think the Giants could have had success on two 2 point conversions. that sucks for sure.

Sharpe the day he retired is a better TE than Gonzo the last couple years. This kind of tripe from a Chef troll should not be tolerated. Are we allowing racial slurs and comments here ?

[Old Dude]

When a game's that close, there are lots of game changing plays.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Im going to go out on a limb here:

Shannon Sharpe is the Greatest Tight End in NFL History.

Period. No debate.

It was a 49 yard FG attempt and it sure looked like the wind took it, it was going straight down the middle then took about a 20 degree turn to the right. I've never seen one of Elam's kicks do that.

I think there's an article around here somewhere with Shanahan saying the same...

on denverbroncos.com there is an article where elam says it. He says it felt good and looked good, and then, you know the rest.

When you hit a ball perfectly a miss like that has to be demorlizing.

Very true, not Elam's fault. Between the wind on that kick and the officials and our own mistakes it was just too much too overcome I guess. Oh well move on and kick the
crap out of the Eagles.

[watermock]

I'm sorry, but this is just another example of the refs threw the game...BTW, it was a 49 yarder that Satan literally knocked out of the sky...the kick looked perfect and inexplicably took a turn as dramatic as Wilma...

And the holding on Foster was phantom considering the fact that the Giants were tackling Pryce and Warren all day....then they call defensive holding on Gold, and NFL.com says it was on Bailey...if they doesn't show that they were blind nothing does...talk about masking a call. If they can't read giant numbers on a jersey are are they supposed to be able to tell that Burress was pushing off blatantly...Burrress was intentionally running into defenders and also pushing off all damn game, and was never called. Burress alone was guilty of three offensive pass interference...I said I wouldn't biatch about the horrible officiating, so this buries it....but damn...Denver had at least 5 chances to ice that game and failed.
