    OT: When to go for 2

    Exactly. You could see it in yesterday's San Diego game. They were down 8. Yet they were acting very nonchalant with less than 2 minutes left. Going to the line slowly. Not going out of bounds. They were clearly aiming to leave the clock down near zero if they scored. Problem is, they had no...

    OT: When to go for 2

    Thing is, at least I'm analyzing options. This thread is stopping analysis at "everyone goes for one"

    OT: When to go for 2

    That means that you would rather go for 1 now. Stop the other team and score as quickly as possible. The downside to that is you're going to give the other team the ball with a ton of time. You have to, because you're playing as if it's a two possession game, when it wasn't. Contrast that with...

    OT: When to go for 2

    That's a pretty big if. The whole "one possession" line of reasoning is an illusion. It's not really a one possession game until you convert the 2 pointer.

    OT: When to go for 2

    If either of these events happen, the question is moot. The results are what I figured (75% say go for 1 now). Here's my explanation for why I would go for 2 now. What if you wait to go for 2 until the second TD and miss. Then you have to onside kick and get the ball back. IOW, you have to...

    OT: When to go for 2

    Hypothetical: You're down 29-14. 4th quarter. 7 minutes left. You score a TD to make the score 29-20. Do you go for 2 now? Or do you kick the XP now and go for 2 after you score again?

    Kind of sort of get the Matt deal

    difference being that Warner was also incredibly accurate, with 6 seasons of over 65% completions. Anderson's highest comp% was 56%.

    OT Rackers beat out Kris Brown

    What is the official reason for why the Cards got rid of Rackers? All because of the GB playoff game?

    A couple of observations re: Matt

    Does it make sense to just outright cut Leinart (or Anderson)? Can't they trade him for something, even if it's just a 6th round pick or something, if they really don't want him?

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    I had no idea they were two different channels. It's beyond shocking that two different channels have the same name (or names so close that they are easily confused).

    DirecTV Sunday Ticket subscribers

    Incorrect. DirecTV has offered RedZone channel as part of the Sunday Ticket package for a few years now. I know because when I was in CA, I had Sunday Ticket for a few years and would watch RedZone for the morning games and the Cardinals for the afternoon game. IIRC, channel 702 was the first...

    DirecTV doesn't offer the Red Zone channel separately. I doubt they ever will, because they want to push the full Sunday Ticket package instead. It is Dish Network that offers the Red Zone channel.

    I saw a commercial for Dish Network that advertised Red Zone Channel for $7/month. I immediately went to the DirecTV site to see if they had the same offer. Nope. Their site merely brags that they have all the games, not just the Red Zone channel. They act like it's some kind of fair comparison...

    Game is sold out........

    My wife said to me the other day that "everyone" at her office was a Cardinals fan. My first reaction was that they're all fair weather fans. When I moved from Arizona 6 years ago, I'd be the only person wearing a Cardinals hat or shirt when I went out. Now I move back to Phoenix and they are...
