Happy Seventh Anniversary of the Dumbest Play in NFL History

You could read Paganos lip when they came off the field, he said why did you snap it?

I was at that game. The entire stadium was dumbfounded. I had never seen that formation before and I had no clue what happened. After the dust cleared and learned that it was counted as a sack I shrugged my shoulders and went uuuuhhhh ok . . .

I honestly believed they were gonna let the clock wind down. How could you not?

Just ran across this and figured this is a little blast from the past that will liven up everyone's day. This play should be celebrated every year.

It was the most mindboggling thing I've ever seen in an nfl game. Funnier than even the buttfumble because it was intentional.

 

[Pape]

Even funnier is that the Colts OL was not lined up correctly, so at best it’d be offsetting penalties.

yeah, illegal formation... they didnt have 7 guys on the los

 

[Jlaff]

Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt of that.
Which still leaves the question of purpose of the formation. To draw a penalty of some kind? Require the Pats to waste a time out? Neither seems likely or worth the trouble.

I think the last thing BB wanted to do was call a timeout, he wanted to see that dumb ****ery play out.

 

[Jlaff]

Nope.

Lol, key point: Mcaffee said they practiced that play all week. ALL WEEK. Talk about a misallocation of prep time. My Lord.

"Why did we practice this all week you inept moron?"

That is baffling.

That is insane that they spent any time on this play.

I also love in this video how he continually makes Griff Whalen smaller and smaller as the story goes along. I think started out 5'10" at the start of the story and was 5'4" by the end.

That colts head coach is in Special Ed with Dan Campbell

and that right there is why the neckbeard Andrew Luck was 0-6 (0-4 regular; 0-2 post) vs the Patriots in his too short career...
