kmccarthy27 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 What is the yellow sticker on the back of LA’s helmet? I assume that’s not BL Seltzer like Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLJ Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 That rust getting knocked off and the players are getting real reps. I hope they can endure because the early games are basically preseason for these guys. Late season should be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Cesarano Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 L.A. scores the first nine-point touchdown in football history. But they got very lucky. There was no good reason to go for a three-point conversion when those points still left them trailing. More sensible would have been to go for the higher-percentage one-point conversion, and leave the three for later, if they needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, there are going to be a lot of conversions with this new system where it feels like there's no real "right" answer like we have in every other football.

GDAWG Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The conversions thing is something I am not sure the NFL is going to adopt. I do think that the NFL will eventually adopt the XFL's kickoff rule and hopefully have a replay official in the booth. Do we really need the coaches to be live mic'd?

And the 1 point is barely 50 percent. So taking the easy point isn't really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Daytona having rain in sure some switched over. But they'd miss the great ending for what was an offensive struggle for three quarters.

The interviews would be infinitely better if they didn’t try to capture it right after the play ended. Give them a few to relax and then do it. They had a few like that and that should be the law.

Cujo Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Both Seattle-Tampa and LA-Dallas were absolute snoozers the first three quarters -- but it's all about how you finish, right? #AlwaysTakeTheUnder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, that's sort of true whenever teams go for it on fourth or not as well though, right? I think it was fine, but I also kind of wanted Dallas to go for a killshot by going for three and making it a 10 point game later. You know, for fun. EDIT: The biggest issue with the sideline interviews is that most athletes (and people in general) aren't that interesting to listen to talk. Maybe we'll find a Richard Sherman-type who can cut high-quality wrestling promos at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
