Ray Lewis is, unwittingly, the greatest advocate for atheism in the 21st century.

what was the thought process on not running some kind of Stanford/Cal pitch action on that final return?

Looked like Teddy saw a gap.

I would guess because Ginn has breakaway ability and, well, other than Stanford/Cal and the Music City Miracle, those plays never, ever work. I have never understood that actually. Returning a punt or KO for a TD is obviously a low percentage play, but if you have a good return man/team it is still a much higher percentage play that a 10-lateral clusterfuck.
I would just set up my best return and give that a shot...you have statistically a much better chance than you do the other way.

there was something there for a second, but even if there wasn't, it didn't look like any of the rest of the Niners were even prepared for a pitch.

wait, you're saying the Music City Miracle doesn't happen every year?

errr...no, but KOs and punt returns for TDs do

 

[Buckeneye]

Yup, you're right. Play still would have run the same amount of time.

It's the mentality. It's still a god damn penalty, call it.
The fact that there were two additional penalties on
Consecutive plays just prior is an indication of this.

Imagine that, a Michigan guy thinking that the play with anybody from Michigan involved would work...

Considering Goodwin the center was the only Michigan guy on SF, I don't think he would have been on the field.......so it probably would have worked!

I guess on the Niners final offensive play in the redzone, Kaepernick audibled to a pass play when the Ravens brought the safeties up.

I actually think 4th down was the only down I would've preferred they passed..

He begs to differ:

He begs to differ:

yeah, he wouldn't have been on the field either.
