Default An Error On The Gillette Stadium Scoreboard
Billy Cundiff Rushed His Kick Because Of An Error On The Gillette Stadium Scoreboard

"Was the error on the Gillette Stadium board an honest mistake made by a confused Patriots employee? Or were there darker forces at work here—a little Belichickian Machiavellianism to confuse the opposition with a Super Bowl berth on the line?"

Even Suggs wasn't making excuses and called out Skip Bayless for trying to stir up **** with this scoreboard non-story. The Ravens didn't excute and failed from the entire FG unit squad up to the head coach.

Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

On second and third downs—which the scoreboard said were first and second—Ravens threw unsuccessfully into the end zone.
What a crock of *****.

I just confirmed that the dial-a-down showed the correct down at all times.

It's just embarrassing and unprofessional to point the finger because you don't know what down it is.

A poorly coached special teams unit, playing poor situational football.

Added: To clarify, I'm referring to the official dial-a-down.

The scoreboard D&D isn't even official, the sideline markers are. Is it really that hard to know what the **** is going on in a football game that you're 'playing' in?

This is an interesting article. There may be something to it, but at the end of the day all NFL FG kickers should be able to make a 30 yarder.

Harbaugh probably didn't call time out because he didn't want to pull a "Garrett" and ice his own kicker.

Please stop. This makes the most ridiculous conspiracies look ordinary.

Tough break, still should of made the kick. Plus there is absolutely no reason for the kicker to frantically run onto the field. Just call the timeout.

They have a 3-credit course on this subject at Bawl-So-Hard U.
It's called "Game Mis-Management And Repercussions", lecturer 52RealityCheck; meets N/A (Online course; please see ravens24x7.com for syllabus).
