When was the first onside kick

Watch the best Minnesota Vikings running back Kene Nwangwu's plays vs. Ravens during Week 9 of the season. Watch all Tennessee Titans defensive end Jeffery Simmons' impactful plays on defense from Week 9 of the season. Watch every San Fransisco 49ers tight end George Kittle catch from his return to action in the Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Watch the Denver Broncos' best defensive plays vs. Check out Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's best plays vs. Wattch the top plays by Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Josh Allen vs. But the Packers didn't score after failing on fourth down. This was a costly mistake on the part of Green Bay's replay team. It was clearly more worthy of a challenge than the play in the Bears game two weeks ago. From my perspective, having watched Packers games, McCarthy needs to have someone in the booth helping him, and if he already does, then it might be time for a change.

These challenges and non-challenges are costing the Packers. Whenever the play in question involves points, and the TV networks give the booth a quick review, there should be a challenge. Have you ever watched a movie a million times and wish the part you hate would change? I do that all the time when I watch "The Godfather".

When Santino is headed to the toll plaza in a fit of rage, wanting to kill his brother-in-law, I often scream to myself, "Don't go, Sonny, don't go! I want you in this movie! When watching the Vikings and Brad Childress try to manage a game, I am often rooting for him to not head to the toll plaza, but just like Sonny, Childress can't help himself. Early in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game , with the Jets leading , the Vikings started mounting a drive.

Brett Favre made an incredible throw to Percy Harvin on third-and-long that Harvin turned into a touchdown, making the game With Harvin in the end zone, Childress signals for a two-point conversion try, but then changes his mind and sends out the extra-point team I don't know why.

As the referee is starting the second play clock and the Vikings in place to kick, Childress calls a timeout and changes his mind again. This is so bad on so many levels. When the Vikings got the ball, the first thing that should have been decided by the offensive staff before the drive started was whether or not to go for two. Besides the year that they did actually win the Super Bowl against a very forgettable Bears team, the Colts are pretty garbage at playoff time.

It was a calculated gamble by Payton based on something he saw on film, and the gamble worked. I rooted for the Saints to win, but with the lack of cyber-class, there cinderella status is over. Adam-Chris Scheftersen says: Matt H. I just wonder if you would feel the same way if the Colts recovered. I know I would have been killing Sean Payton for making such a reckless call in a close game. Be honest.

One of the best of this era. The Oven……………….. The Saints and their fans are classy as well as humble. Get over it!!! Your city would probably be burning cars right now!! But by and large the consensus seems to be that Rings are of highest importance, and if that is going to be so, he belongs somewhere between 6- 10 all time so far. The real NFL post-merger. Gentleman, the duel is pistols at 20 paces.

I totally shot him in the back and killed him. That was amazing. What a gutsy call. I changed history. This is what drives me crazy about your writers and analysts. If the Saints wouldnt have converted the onsides kick you would have said it was the dumbest play in superbowl history, but because he coverted it hes a genius. Its either a dumb decision to kick an onsides kick or a smart decision. It doesnt matter if they recover it or not. Its funny Andy Reid kicks an onsides kick and its dumb Sean Payton does it and hes smart.

PFT Writers please explain how 1 decision is smarter then the other. I personally like when teams do suprise onsides kicks. I think it shows iniative and guts. Thats why I wouldnt ever say its a bad decision. Its a gamble that coaches take it doesnt make it a smarter decision if you recover it.

Congrats to the Saints, their fans, the city of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. You deserved to win that game! And I was actually rooting for the Saints! That is, I was rooting for them until this onside kick happened. To me, just my opinion here, this should be looked into by the league, as to whether an onside kick to start a half is allowed in the future. Has anyone else? So yeah, I hated this kick, and this move by the Saints.

It took away from the victory and an incredible game by Brees. It just occurred to me… one way to put this very simply, my objection to this rule of allowing an onside kick to start the 2nd half: The Saints won the opening coin toss. They took the ball, which is of course their right. I think the league should institute a rule to prevent onside kicks to start a 2nd half.

Just not in the way they did… at least not with this trick crap. That one failed and they lost the game. Then again, I probably had considerably invested than you.

So mostly I just wanted to see a good game. Onside kicks are allowed in the NFL. As are flea-flickers, fake punts, fake field goals and play action. Pacing off 10 paces and shooting, as in your example, would be cowardly and against the rules. Funny Silence of the Lambs reference. View full highlights from the Week 7 game in the Meadowlands.
