Kick Six or the Goal Line Pass in SB XLIX?

Super Bowl is orders of magnitude more important than some gump vs. little brother bowl.

Can you really call Kick 6 a mistake? Yeah you should have tackled him, but you're playing to or go into OT. Before that night, that play had only occurred 3 times in History. LSU actually did it the very same year weeks in advance against UAB.


I think the biggest mistake was Freeze's calling off the FG unit to hurl it towards the endzone. Yeah, trust Bo Freeze. Really smart.

A freshman kicker kicking a 57 yard field goal in the Iron Bowl on the very last play of the game.



Saban is a dumbass for making that call knowing his kicker sucks a fat one.

Yes.

It's really a no brainer question.

When I think of mistakes, I automatically think of Auburn.

When I think of Auburn, I think of this hilarious amateur mistake

Hindsight is 20/20. Sure, the FG team should have been more prepared for what happened. What else could have been the right call? We challenged for the last second on the clock specifically for the chance to kick a FG.

Teams pass at the goal line all the time. The biggest mistake was the pats even being in the Super Bowl

# 87 dropping pass in the end zone against LSU last year. If he catches it the game would be ours...but it hit him right between the 8 & the 7. Driskel had many passes dropped during his stay at UF...but last year was the worse and two seniors contributed to a number of them.

Goal line pass with the number one running back in the world or going for a field goal with the most unlikely thing ever happening? Goal line pass bro

You make it, and it's a genius move. You miss it and you play OT. Gumps just couldn't tackle and the worst possible scenario unfolded.

Saban was playing for the win. Would you rather him run out the clock than take a single shot?

Don't take me the wrong way. I'm not arguing for the kick six. But it is a head scratcher in, like you said, hindsight.

Auburn not stopping that obvious fake punt against FSU. Stop that bullshite, and we win two MNCs going away.

How the hell is Kick 6 a mistake compared to Seahawaks calling pass play on the 2 yard line with one of the best RBs in the NFL??! Wow you fricking suck.

Yep. Would be another game where Chavis blew a lead with under 2 to go. That game and Ole Miss were so close to being Chavised, but FL's WR and Bo Wallace bailed us out.

If Les could competently coach an offense that lead would be more than one touchdown

No one in their right mind thought AU would take that shite to the house. The odds were slim to none. The Seahawks made an awful mistake not running the ball. Pretty bad troll, if that's what this is.

besides, kick 6 wasn't Saban's fault, the rec shouldn't have forced him to make the decision at all, that second they added instead of declaring OT...
