Not really. He picked a really bad spot to overcome terrible odds of converting a 4th and very long no matter how good he thought his play design was. It still required tricking the defense to be successful, and then executing. Passes get bobbled, dropped, tipped and all sorts of things.

I've got flawless fiber optic. But to answer your question, infrastructure varies, sometimes significantly, from country to country and place to place within countries.
If you're asking because, say, you have a job that can be done from anywhere in the world as long as you have decent internet, then you should be completely fine in most of Latin America.
Having said that, some parts of Latin America should be completely avoided, like Honduras, El Salvador, Northern Mexico, Venezuela, and Nicaragua (at the moment). Be very wary of Guatamala, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil, but parts of those places are ok. I'm not going to those countries, though.
But yeah, generally speaking , internet is fine, particularly in the more populated areas. I'm happy to give more specific info if you need it.

LOL first time i watched it since its happened
Hated the call....shouldnt have been called imo
But just watching objectively, that whole play looked weird.
Also if that story was true in the OP dont you think Kirby would have been losing his shite on the sideline??

Good strategy by Kirby in a vacuum. Well designed play to take advantage of our known scheme. But poor decision/timing by Kirby in the end. It’s 4 and 11. The percentages and odds of making a 1st down are extremely low, good play or not. Call it on 4th and 5 and it’s a different story. And yes, you want us in punt safe to run the play but alerting Saban that something is up just isn’t smart. So having Fields in there to run the play is just crazy. If you want a QB in there, sneak your 3rd string guy in there. There’s a good chance nobody notices. Everybody sees Justin Fields in the game.
Plenty of criticism to go around. Here’s one: when Bama saw something was up and Fields was in there and the alignment and assignments were screwy, why don’t we call timeout? I know you don’t want to waste one but the game is on the line.

Would rather have made Hurts go the distance. But to you point, i wasnt that mad at the call. I agree with you, i hated the personnel. Soon as fields walked out there everyone knew what was going on. That play worked in 2012 Sec Championship. But i think yardage was shorter and our TE threw the pass.
It is what it is, play works and Kirbys a genius with brass balls. But it didnt and here we are

Saw a picture of yalls linebacker POINTING at Fields hahah. And I sure he wasn’t saying “hey, I’m not sure but I think that’s a backup qb”

The biggest problem to me was the distance.
I guess always when you're on the other side of the 50, a fake punt is always a potential, but 11 yards to get means a lot has to go correctly.
Even though the play failed, it did net a couple of yards.
So, it was possible to have succeeded, even though it didn't create the big gain, had the distance to gain been considerably less.

If we wanna be all the way honest, Kirby probably felt it slipping away as did everyone else. Guess he figured he would empty the clip.
Too bad it was a revolver and didnt have a clip.

Maybe if they've been good enough, it'll come true.
EDIT: I just realized, they'll get no toys! You're cold-blooded.

You say that all the time but its simply not always true. Calls can still be dumb even if they end up working. I could sell all my worldly possessions and go see some loan sharks and buy lottery tickets - even if I win it still was a dumb desicion. A call that fails can still be the right call as well.
Kirby made a bad call there for that to be an option. You pin the backup qb deep and go for a 3 and out to hopefully get the ball back on a short field.
Maybe they hurry up to get the snap off 2 seconds earlier and the snap is mishandled or a myriad of other things. The assumption that the play would have worked if they had snapped it on time is simply not factual - it is an opinion of an event nobody will ever be able to see transpire.
In any case- regardless of how the play did / could have played put - it was a dumb option for that situation.
ETA: also if the whole play is predicated on the bama d not recognizing they are leaving somebody wide open - that is a very fine edge to be essentially riding the whole game on.
I kind of wonder how many times bama has been in that safe d against a punt formation like that for kirby to have such confidence that the dude would be left uncovered by the smartest defense in the country year in and year out

I have heard it described as, "Kirby felt it slipping away and decided to empty the clip - but there was no clip. Only a revolver remained."
Where did I hear that?
