Fangio vs. Harbaugh

Post by vikingsfan1963 »

Who ya got? It was the first time in 25 seasons a team leading by 10 plus points ran a play on final snap instead of taking a knee. At least that's how I understand it.

Personally, I have no problem with it. I've always hated that take-a-knee crap, anyway, though I understand how it came about. Anyway, it's not like they were trying to score a TD with a 40-point lead or something, trying to rub it in. They were simply trying to advance the ball--which, as I recall, is what the offense is supposed to do. Sure, it was an obscure record. But the defense's job is to stop the offense from advancing the ball, up to the final whistle. All Fangio's defense had to do was stuff Jackson. Why didn't they do that?

So the Ravens can now claim a record that nobody except their O-line (and possibly a couple guys on this board) really, truly care about.

As that great football mind, "Shake 'n Bake" Shakespeare, famously said, "Much ado about nuttin."
