I can't believe Seattle isn't taking more heat for that awful onside kick call.

I feel like it's been 5 years since I've even seen an NFL onside kick recovered by the kicking team.

Re: Welcome to Seattle FJ

seems like they always recover it against us.

I laughed at the onside kick call, but it's Pete Carroll, and part of me liked it cuz it's so unheard of in that situation.

Rams win in OT.

Re: Welcome to Seattle FJ

What was awful about it?

If they recover and score, they win.

They gave up a FG and all they had to do was get in FG range to keep playing, and they couldn't it.

It was a gutsy, good call that didn't work out for them but it hardly lost them the game.

Re: Welcome to Seattle FJ

Seattle has a solid, experienced defense. Kick it deep and get after Foles.

What is the onsides kick conversion rate in the last 5 years? Maybe 4%? It's like hitting a 3 outer on the river in hold em.

So they are basically giving St Louis the ball at midfield.

Terrible call.

If it was a good call, wouldn't it be tried more often in that senario?

On another note, the Rams stadium was like half-empty for their home opener. That's god awful.

actually when an onsides kick is used at times other than when it's clear there is going to be an onsides kick the conversion rate is over 50% I think.

Re: Welcome to Seattle FJ

Yeah, I looked up the stats and the success rates are higher than I thought.

It just seems like I never see successful kicks in the games I watch.

I still stand by that it was a very bad call.

Seattle only escaped the NFC championship game this January because they recovered on onside kick.

FWIW, the kicker claims it was a mistake.

I noticed that, against a huge division rival too. awful and why they'll be the LA Rams soon.

Re: Welcome to Seattle FJ

It's odd how St. Louis has the hoodoo over Seattle, but they do.

What was the point of this thread exactly? Are you laughing at one of the classiest people to play on the Bills because his current team lost? Douche bag move if so.

Discussing Bills player's moves and how they are doing, versus the Bills without them and doing better. If the Bills winning without him is douching, then dunk me in vinegar.
