[Sheik]

He could have made that.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

The refs fricked that up. No doubt. Of course the Fox team won't go back and show it.

 

[boozeman]

Okay, @Sheik.

Fat Mike should have given him a shot.

 

[1bigfan13]

That's on McCarthy. Hard to win when your coach struggles with little stuff like that that literally take points off the board.

I'm sure they did but how do you not have anyone watching the play clock? Like hire someone, to just handle that. Fuck, you could pay me minimum wage and I'll be the playclock assistant.

 

[Plan9Misfit]

I would’ve loved to see Aubrey take his shot at 71.

 

[Sheik]

No way I call that time out if I’m McCarthy.

We murdered Garrett for years for icing his own kicker.

 

[chevycowboys]

Way to make your kicker lose confidence fat Mike. How dumb. He would have made that kick

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I'm sure they did but how do you not have anyone watching the play clock?

Probably because it was inconceivable they wouldn't reset it. That play didn't take too long. The FG was the plan all along.

Total horseshit. That cost us 3 points.

 

[Cotton]

I would have let Aubrey try it. Why not? 4 seconds left leaves at most 1 second on the clock. His 66 yarder in preseason would have been from 71. Why not let him try it?

 

[bbgun]

he's absolutely setting the distance record this year, most likely indoors

I guess they were worried the return?

I'm less worried about the 3 points than I am Aubrey tying the record for longest field goal. The guy earned it.

Yeah, the Browns offense has done zero, the last thing you want to do is give up a TD return there because Aubrey is short.

 

[dpf1123]

After a slow start, that was one hell of a half of football from both the defense and the offense, particularly going against the Browns D-line. Would have loved those three points at the end of the half.

 

[Genghis Khan]

How the fuck, I feel bad for Aubrey

He'll probably get another chance at some point.

Being up 23-3 would have been big. I don't think the Browns offense would need 3 TDs to even have a chance. That looks tough considering how they have looked. Hell the 3 they have were from shitty special teams.

They only have 1 first down thus far. Our defense is keeping them incredibly off balance, so going for a 71 yarder poses little risk beyond a fluke return TD.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That's a good point. He would have been good from more than 66 and it was on grass outside in the elements. Very impressive.

 

[Cotton]

Nope. not gonna do it.
