Re: the Seahawks not making maximum use of the seven seconds left at the end of the first half: I'm no football expert, but the coach's action mystified me, it struck me as something you'd see in a high school game, totally yahoo. But at the same time, as a Steeler fan, I said, Whew! Thank goodness Stupid messed himself out of some points, so much the better for us Steelers!
no doubt. they did it at the end of the first half as well.
Well, I'll dispute the labeling of our guys as "stupid, thank you :-), but the move itself? yeah, I'd give you that action was stupid except as you say, it was mystfying and I'm still scratching my head on that one.
I don't even think stupid adequately defines what the hell that was all about. I still haven't heard an explanation that makes sense where I could label it a dumb move, but understand where the heads were. Just as I still, for the life of me, don't understand why the Steelers called a timeout and saved a few seconds for the hawks.
That was the most, and I love the word cause it fits, mystifying series of events by both teams I think I've ever witnessed.
For the Steelers, it didn't hurt them, so their move while I don't understand it can be brushed aside. The Hawks can't be brushed aside cause it did hurt them.
Regardless, that end of the first half is probably going to be a puzzle for the ages. Makes no sense, not even in retrospect.
