If we made an extra point, the FG wins the game.

Diaco plans on fixing special team in year six.

What the hell is up with the special teams unit this year?? Blocked extra point from Nova, Army, and Mizzou. Wow!

 

[BugsyCT]

If we make the extra point, Mizzou goes for 2 on their TD, so we'll never know if a FG would have won it.

Thanks - I love this stuff.

If we make the XP Missouri kicks the FG ON 4th & goal to make it a 12-7 game.

You're smarter than that. I hope.

 

[CTBasketball]

Diaco probably thought the game-tier was going to be blocked...

 

[Scoe]

or we have an even worse ending, whats done is done

 

[Dooley]

The extra point miss bothers me. But not as much as our continued reluctance to catch fahqing punts. Not fair catching that punt and letting it bounce to our 2 set them up for their safety. Two very easy special teams play not executing whatsoever. Difference in the game is right there.

This.

In truth the missed PAT ended up working out in the teams favor (unless you think Mizzou misses a PAT-distance FG) strategically when Missouri went for it on 4th and goal. Doesn't excuse it, 3 games, 3 blocked PATs is unacceptable.

If we make the extra point, we might win by 60.

Missing the extra point is inexcusable.

You are certifiable.

If we play the game at home, we win...if we have a FULL RENT. Good news! We have a home game this Saturday. Buy your tickets using below...

You know better than that. I hope.

The 1st fake FG pass from Boyle is what cost us the game. We were near the 20 and it was 4 and 8 or something(not sure). We should have used tarbutt @ that point and it would have been 9-2. Even is they went for 2 and made it 10-6, we could have ran it on 4th down/BS scramble run/pass
SOMETHING OTHER THAN ANOTHER FAKE FG ATTEMPT!!!!

No, that was a great call.

That play was right there and only saved by a great play from the defender. No problem at all with it.

I like to think it was more poor special teams and penalties that did us in. And, given how bad those were... Pretty amazing that we lost by 3. I didn't like that play call to end the game, but on the whole, I appreciate that he went in there to win and called a reasonably aggressive game.

^^^ what I said above, but to than go use rookie tarrbutt for a40 something yard FG later in the game on 4th and 5 and not go for it was another stupid ST move.

Great game. Defense is amazing. Almost had it. A crappy way to end, but shouldn't overshadow a great road game played in front of the 3rd most amount of visiting fans ever.

Another epic Palatine fail thread. Good job.

Think he'll defend Boyle's pass and say it should have been caught too?

I'm not sure about that but they absolutely don't go for it fourth and goal from the one, mid fourth quarter, up 9-7.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

No, that was a great call.

That was a great call and even though the pass should have been a foot higher (which would have been beyond the defender's reach) Bloom needed to fight a little for that catch.

 

[spsct]

No, but he'll blame Diaco and say it's Boyle's lack of playing time not allowing him to get into a rhythm which led to the bad throw. (and I don't think the throw was that bad)

 

[bigAbruns]

The Fake FG attempt was great, UConn just needs one damn TE that can consistently catch a ball thrown to them, unfortunately they don't. Hell these TEs are both huge and don't seem aggressive at all.
