Beat me to the thread SLIM

Freaking incredible.

Shanahan is one of the best in the business.

I dont know how that fumble was called incomplete....unless Im missing something here.....

what a call though

WorldNumberOne · Sep 14, 2008

that was the oddest 1 minute i have ever seen in the nfl. a mind boggling call by the ref that made 0 sense .

and then another call you never see . go for 2 and the win .

whistle was blown during the middle of the play before sd recovered the fumble... they were hosed.

The ref knew he made a mistake but once the whistle is blown, the damage cannot be undone.

guttsy call for sure: No Gutts No Glory I Guess

exactly, you know he was hoping denver didn't convert that 2 point conversion... he knows he just fucked the bolts out of a big win.

then why wasnt the ball put back at the 2 ?

to spot it at the 10 made even less sense .

incomplete pass = ball should be at 2 not 10

shannahan must have figured he had a better chance to get a 2 pointer and the win than risk losing a 50/50 coin flip in OT with his team playing no defense at the end
whomever won the coin flip was probably going to win the game

quantumleap · Sep 14, 2008

It was fumbled at the 10, not the 2. It was placed at the spot where the ball was at the time of the whistle.

NFL really needs to do something about that rule. I don't have a clue as to what but SD got hosed.

Thankfully since it pushed the 2H over.

den had no chance of stopping sd so shannahan did the smartest thing and it worked

Yeah, after thinking about it, it wasn't that gutsy.

Coin flip winner was winning game. 50/50.
2PC was probably 50/50 also.

but he would've been absolutely roasted by fans and media if they don't convert... not saying it wasn't the right move but it took some huge stones to pull the trigger.

john gruden did the same thing in another high scoring game against the redskins in 2005

Washington 35, Tampa Bay 36

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- With the ball sitting on the 1-yard line, Jon Gruden couldn't resist.

The temptation to give it to Mike Alstott on a gutsy 2-point conversion call -- even if it meant going home without a victory -- was too strong.

Absolutely. Right or wrong, that took some balls.

LLXC13 · Sep 15, 2008

Inadvertant rule sucks.

But yes, BIG BALLS. No way I would have gone for two...

krk1030 · Sep 15, 2008

He knew like everyone else, the coin flip would decide the winner.

Shanahan has bigger balls than most of us...
