Refs bring players back for extra point Saints/ Vikings

unluckysob · 01-15-18, 05:19 AM

I do not think books like this game. They sold plenty of Vikings -4, -4.5 tickets. Then sold plenty of Saints +5.5.

Statman · 01-15-18, 07:05 AM

Was thinking at one point with no Saints players on the field they may just walk it in for the 2 point conv. instead? Were the fans yelling "SCORE" at that point or something else?

infin80 · 01-15-18, 07:08 AM

They were yelling SKOL

I was at a korean barbecue place with no volume. I saw the kicker on the field at point and I believe he lined up in the victory formation .

crazy

daneblazer · 01-15-18, 08:00 AM

They were always going to take a knee.

Books took this on the chin. Nearly every teaser came home

rkelly110 · 01-15-18, 08:10 AM

I was shitting my pants. 10 seconds to go they get a touchdown. If they kick the extra point I'm screwed.
I used NO 5.5 to chase the pitt loss. I

to Minn for not doing the extra point.

That coach dont have any control of his teaml Walking off the field like that, Sore ass loser coach

secretstash · 01-15-18, 08:22 AM

The fact they even have to kick the extra point is foolish. Every other sport has walk-off or buzzer beater potential. It took away from the celebration even. If this isn't changed due to this game alone, then the league is just plain stupid.

Says it all...

i was at a bar and was taking some action and everyone wanted minny. i hadnt checked the lines in awhile so i gave them -5, a nice dead number. when i checked the close it was pretty much 6 everywhere. i could have made some coin so i was pissed. also could have lost some coin so really not complaining

thetrinity · 01-15-18, 09:13 AM

Stupid rule imo.

The regular season is different because it could matter for tiebreakers

daneblazer · 01-15-18, 09:33 AM

Can you imagine the conspiracy theorists here if they stayed in the locker room and didn’t run the extra point at all

Underdog5229 · 01-15-18, 09:47 AM

they needed the time to prepare the anal lube for the fuking they were going to give that dback when he made it to the locker room.

jimminn · 01-15-18, 09:53 AM

Had the + 5.5 also . Thought I was dead. Also had Saints ML 380 . Had the money in the bank . Thought it was all over.Thank God they didn't kick it.

Stallion · 01-15-18, 09:59 AM

You are absolutely right! The players felt bad enough - why force them to do this - let them go home.

mintpicks79 · 01-15-18, 10:59 AM

I believe this is the 3rd time this year this ha happened . All 3 took knees ..

especially considering NO MATTER what happened during that extra point the outcome of the game would not have changed at all, so ya I agree 100% completely and utterly pointless

Seattle Slew · 01-15-18, 02:35 PM

I don't even think NO had 11 guys lined up? One of them that came out was the punter. He just stood in the end zone.

Wish Al Michaels was doing the game, he would have detailed every scenario with the betting lines.

"A lot of people are interested in what Minnesota will do here."

bonzaii · 01-15-18, 02:54 PM

Why did the even do the Extra point anyway? They never do it in OT after a team scores the winning TD so why would they do it in regulation with no time left? Makes no penetrating sense. It's almost like the league called down to the ref and said we need you to make Minnesota kick this XP to help are boys in Vegas.

Yea in that game but most teasers probably died with steelers.

I don't think they have to make the extra point. I think the refs messed up.

Seattle Slew · 01-15-18, 05:51 PM

They have to try the extra point. At least snap the ball. The only time the NFL does not attempt an extra point is in overtime.

I remember when Wade Phillips was with Buffalo and New England scored on the final
play. Wade was mad at the refs for calling pass interference on the previous play which was a Hail Mary. The next play Bledsoe threw a TD to Ben Coates for a walk off TD. Wade wouldn’t send his team back out for the conversion so Pete Carrol let Adam Veneteri walk in for the 2 pointer for a 4 point victory. The line was NE -3.5.

This is was the worst bad beat of my life. I was sitting in the first row of the end zone right where this all went down. All the Patriot fans were screaming “2” “2” “2” good ole Pete listened to his fans.

frostno98 · 01-16-18, 01:15 AM

The Eagles did this, so I expected the Vikings to take the knee as well for gamesmanship. If it was the old way where they immediately lineup for 2 yard field goal, then they would had kick the XP.

temple2010 · 01-16-18, 01:28 AM

The only way it matters if it's a 1 point game or tied obviously (team can return it for 2)- they will probably change this rule in the future if that isn't the case in the game. Teams are always just taking the knee.

It could matter for tiebreakers, but I would guess the probability of that 1 point affecting an actual tiebreak on a given year is less than 1 in a million. I’m inclined to think a rule change is forthcoming.

I don't think they'll get rid of the requirement for the regular season (due to the tiebreaker aspect), but I could see them changing it for playoff games.
