Sour Taste
Sour Play of the Week No. 1: Trailing Baltimore 22-7, Philadelphia reached second-and-goal on the Nevermores' 1 midway through the fourth quarter. Relief quarterback Kevin Kolb play-faked, then sprinted waybackwards -- you're on the goal line, why are you sprinting backwards? -- before lofting a terrible pass that was intercepted by Ed Reed and returned 108 yards for the game-breaking touchdown. You've got three tries to run 1 yard, why is your inexperienced backup quarterback attempting a pass into the most congested part of the field?
And yet, while I wholeheartedly agree with TMQ, why does he praise the Colts' 4th and goal from the 1 pass play (empty backfield no less) in the same article as a "manly man" play? Probably cause the Colts scored.
And am i supposed to be somehow comforted by the fact passing plays on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 are more widespread around the league than previously imagined and not just confined to Andy Reid's confounding play calling? It's insane.
