[QUOTE=Cizzle;12902]Colin Cowherd spent at least a half hour this morning on ESPN radio talking about the Zorn fake FG. He referred to it as:
"The worst play you will ever see, really."
Cowherd also played a clip from ESPN DC 980. The local commentators response was:
"What...was...that...?"
I fully agree that the Kubiak HB option was bad, but the Zorn fake FG is garnering national ridicule on a much higher level. Maybe though that's just because the FG play happened on MNF in a game between 2 public teams.
In any event, now that I have recalled the Kubiak HB Option, I agree that that play was at least as bad as the Zorn fake FG.[/QUOTE]
While I wouldn't have called the HB pass, it's somewhat defensible because the running back needs to throw the ball away if the receiver isn't open. Still don't like the call but there is an "out" if the play fails.
For Washington, that was the worse play calling I have ever seen. It isn't like there were 30 seconds left so they just needed to get the first down. They needed to score a touchdown from a decent distance away, against a defense who just called a timeout to defense this if it happened again.
They would have been better off running a play with the normal offense and throwing it up for grabs, which is ultimately what they did to a bunch of lineman and without your quarterback throwing it.
