Last 2 years they've always seemed to give up huge plays right after scoring. Can't have that happen here.

Indigestion?

Looked it up and potentially an indicator for when headset communication is about to cut off

Great call on the fake punt. what a gusty play.

Click to expand...

Not criticizing your post but it is funny how when the play works it’s gutsy but if the kid made a bad throw (or if there was a bad drop) it would have been a boneheaded call and people would have wanted Greg fired at halftime

but yea it certainly took balls lol

Serious question. Does #4 have vision problems? Does he need to get some Ricky Wild Thing Vaughn glasses?

It would be almost impossible to intentionally misjudge those passes as bad as he did. JFC.
