Watching the Broncos-Chargers game yesterday one was struck with a sense of the announcers being really dumb, and Norv Turner too. Of course Josh 'Wonderboy' Mcdaniels came out of the game looking like Bill Belichick.
Some reasons for them being dumb:
1)The Broncos last touchdown got challenged by the Chargers. It at first looked like it would be overturned, causing the announcers to speculate whether they should go for it on 4th and inches (it was 27-23 broncos). One of the announcers was dumb enough to say they should kick the hypothetical field goal instead of going for it. Now these numbers are not concrete but you figure the Broncos would score 85 percent of the time on a 4th and inches, which would then give them a 99 percent chance of winning. Instead this announcer said they should go conservative and give the chargers a 40 percent chance, let's say, of scoring a td and sending it to overtime? Not to mention if you miss they need to go 99 yards for a td.
2)One of the announcers said the chargers shouldn't have gone for it on 4th and 8 on the 38. Instead they should have punted? At least have the courage to say it then, and not with a minute left in the game.
3)Chargers get the ball back needing 11 points (a td with 2 point conversion and field goal). They quickly get to the 26 with 1:45 left. Why not kick the field goal then? You need it eventually, why not get a score as quickly as possible? Rivers then got sacked into long field goal range and the chargers lost their last timeout. If only they had kicked the field goal.
4)Brett Favre should not be loved so much
I should be an NFL head coach.
Onion soup rocks.
