Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ro-rogers_ahmad_bradshaw_touchdown_super_bowl_020512 "tap down"??? He should've been nervous and shaking. If Tom Brady had engineered that comeback (a distinct possibility if the Patriots WRs don't drop two perfectly thrown passes), then Bradshaw becomes probably the 2nd-biggest goat in Super Bowl history behind Scott Norwood.

You take it while you can get it and trust your defense to do it's job. You never know how things will go, except probably not as you expect. I said earlier, AB is probably the only guy that can score the GAME WINNING touchdown in the Super Bowl...and get bitched at for it. Incredible.

VHSLhelper 571 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I wonder if this is the first time that the SB-winning TD won't become a big selling poster? At least he wasn't "Spike-d" in. Can't wait for the "accidental TD" to become a legandary story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueinbama 259 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) The Giants were already in FG position. All they had to do was take a knee, make sure the ball was in the middle of the field, and kick the winning FG. But, as Lance said, that's no guarantee. How many times have we seen games lost on missed or blocked FG's? The Scott Norwood comparison actually enforces this point. I am glad he went ahead and ran the ball into the end zone, even though in hindsight it could have given Brady too much time. I still have to trust my defense to make the stops, especially after the way the Giants' defense played. This was the Super Bowl. The final seconds are ticking away, and your team is down by two. The quarterback calls your number, and your job is to run the ball, not fumble, and make positive yardage. Bradshaw had no idea the Pats were going to just step aside and let him score. He was running full speed ahead, and to me, especially with all that's at stake here, I can understand him not being able to stop short. “I was taking a handoff and Eli was saying, ‘Don’t score, don’t score,’ ” Bradshaw said. “I tried to declare myself down and touch down with my hand. They didn’t call it and my momentum took me into the end zone.” If that was the plan, shouldn't it have been called in the huddle instead of in the middle of the play? True, it could have ended badly for the Giants, but as I see it this was in no way Bradshaw's fault.

Lunker Bass 27 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 You absolutely take the points. Congrats to AB!!! Freaky things happen on FG attempts, especially with the kind of pressure the Super Bowl carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly does this comment add to the conversation? But back to the topic, Ahmad also said this wasn't his best game. That's probably true, but 72 yards on 14 carries with the Super Bowl winning touchdown is nothing to sneeze at. Also, everyone around the city is so pleasant this morning. I've never had a conversation on the bus to work before. This morning I was pretty much greeted by everyone as I stepped on. It's fun to be victorious.

The fact that after finally making it in the NFL and after being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people, he still hasnt learned his lesson. Hopefully he wont bring Cruz into his social life, that kids going places. Its nice to know that new yorkers can only be pleasant when they win championships though. Another reason why I hate going there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he wont bring Cruz into his social life, that kids going places. Again, what does that have to do with the touchdown he scored last night? If you want to start a thread about his social life, by all means go for it. But let's leave this one about the game last night. Ok? Ok.

Lance 228 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 look...its as simple as this...if the Giants didn't WANT a TD in that situation...then its on Coughlin and whoever is calling the plays to have ELI take a knee...plain and simple...if they KNEW ahead of time then that's what should have happened. Why even try to advance the ball in that situation if you are going to settle for a FG and just run the clock? Don't blame AB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why even try to advance the ball in that situation if you are going to settle for a FG and just run the clock? Don't blame AB... My thoughts exactly. They were on what, the 6-7 yard-line? Still basically an extra point. If they wanted 3 points then they should've taken a knee and let the cock run down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Variable Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks Lance. Though, I don't expect the Richmond kid to understand how important this is to SWVA. Yes, because that 3 seconds that the name Bluefield, VA was put on national TV is going to heal all woes in SWVA and put them on the map. Explain why it is important please? And if its a low rent comment, sorry. He is a talented athelete, he plays on the highest level. I dont like his attitude, it was so bad that my wife thought at first that he was showing off (which he does frequently). Im curious, who is this guy to you all anyway? Yall close to him?

It's a SWVA thing man. We get shat on quite a bit in multiple facets. We get excited when our Heath Millers, Jones Brothers, Jimmy Gobbles, Billy Wagners, and Ahmad Bradshaw's represent us on a national level. I grew up 80 minutes from Bluefield and have only been there a handful of times, and I got excited as hell when it popped up for 3 seconds on that television. Stuff like that means very little to anyone outside of our cozy countryside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
