Wallyhorse Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Very interesting theory on Week 17: The video (link below) shows a view on why what the Cardinals did in Week 17, doing an onside kick with the score tied 28-28 with 5:00 to go was correct as it prevented the Eagles from running out the clock and kicking the game winner with no time on the clock: NFL Week 17: Cardinals use BRILLIANT (and correct!) onsides kick to beat the Eagles 35-31.

EagleJoe8 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I knew exactly in real time why they did it. If they recover, great! They can waste clock and bury us with a TD. If they didn’t, the short field limited the time we could use up. Didn't need to read the article to figure this. By a similar token, this was a big reason I was in favor of going for it on 4th and 1 on our side of the 50 in the Super Bowl against NE. It was best to maintain possession, but a turnover on downs would have set the Pats up with a short field, giving us a chance to keep enough time on the clock to respond if NE had scored to go up by 4 or 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxeaglesfanxx Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It was only correct because the coaches are idiots. They moved the ball then a penalty and 3 awful play calls back to back to back allowed them to do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
