The other field goal

In Response To: The other field goal (Sam Pottle)

I thought this one was right. Steelers only have one time out left and need only a field goal if you go for it and don't make it. So, they would only have to get to your 35 or so to try a tying field goal.

Get the field goal and they have to go the entire length of the field. Granted they should be starting w/ better field position after a kickoff than inside the 10 on an unsuccessful fourth down touchdown attempt. (though, see next paragraph, they started at the 14 !!)

The genius and stupidity of the following kickoff was glaring. The field goal was with 2:07 left and Steelers w/ one timeout, so it would be nice to get in a play before the two minute warning. Packers correctly squib kicked it making Pittsburgh play with the time. Steelers screwed around with the runback plus had the penalty. So they ended up on the 14 yard line or some such nonsense at 2:00 so they did not get to take advantage of an extra play resulting from the two minute warning.
