76 Yrd FG attempt - Oakland Raiders Forum | Message Board

**Jimi18** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-30-2008, 02:02 AM

what was up with that??

i mean 10 more yard and a time out, we could had had a chance with a 66, but 76??
well, at least we gave Jano a shot... bad thing is now he is like what 9-10? when he could be 9-9...
oh well..
i woulda been Pissed though if the chargers ran it to the house and went up 15-7 at 1/2.

Our ST played well, cept. for that last return, that set them up for the go ahead score.

I was laughing my ass off when they sent him in....in a world of would have should have...this one was brilliant.

But ya, 10 more yards would have made it makable in my eyes

I think Kiffin is detirmined to have Jano break the record and I really hope he does.

i have no idea what that was about. Kiffin sending Al a message? This has to be a record, 76 yard fg attempt. maybe Sea Bass wants a NFL record?

They thought they were playing Madden

At first it was funny, but in retrospect it was just stupid. Why not utilize the time on the clock and our TO's in order to get in makeable range instead of dicking around before sending the kicking team out for what is likely a physical impossibility?

Lame... all the way around.

I at this point am unsure bout Kiffin I mean really what the hell was he thinking nothing good could have came out of that play yet you have a QB that can launch the ball that far and go for the TD!That one really had me questioning his decisions!

One word: Ridiculous!

**Jimi18** · #9 (**permalink**) 09-30-2008, 02:26 AM

well.. the whole thing was, we had a good 10 sec. or more opn the clock...

ok, so we make a play, but do not get out of bounds... clock runs out, end of half.. so lets say they hurried to the line, spiked the ball, threw a pass, then called time out??
i do think he wants jano to get the record, but he was at least 6 yards short, just poor clock management if you ask me, so try for the best,

Remember Janko's 65 yard attempt last year though? It hit half way up the upright! It was the most impressive missed FG I have ever seen. He can boot them from 76, he has the strongest leg around... just lacking accuracy.
Before his career is over he will hold the record for longest FG made in the NFL. I think a 76 yard attempt has to be a record in itself.

63 is the record... 66 would had done it ,76 would had shattered it

I just looked again at the youtube video and I remembered them saying it was into the wind. The thing came all of about 12 yards short. He hit the goal line. I think if he hit it the place would have gone nuts and the players would have been on a high for the rest of the game. I loved it! Jmac tossing it to the endzone would basically lead to one of WR`s like Boldin being carted off...

nice post...

I am not saying he should'nt had done it, but they took too much time figuring out what to do, when we may had gotten a lil' closer for your outcome to become true.

What is a joke is that the RAiders let 25 seconds go off the clock at the end of the half; Russell and Kiffin look lost with time management.
