Game Plays that make you go "?/*&%@#"

[Rotor Dr]

When watching your favorite team, what is it that they do that makes you want to scream out loud??

Two of mine are illegal procedure / encroachment and kick offs that go out of bounds. :mad:

[Gridiron Gopher]

Mine would have to be when your team calls a time out to make sure they have everyone on the same page and then they don't get out on the field after the time out with enough time to run a play and have to call another time out........DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CCBoy]

Opponent rewarded a first down after a defensive penalty on fourth down. Roughing the kicker penalties. Pitch left on 3rd & 22!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :cry

Yea, that's another one that spins me into a point of pisstivity I rarely see. That and burning a time out because the play clock is at 1 sec and then jump off sides on the next play. Same end result but now you have one less time out!!:eek:

[slorch]

In the early Kingsbury/ Leach years, constant 5 yard out/ crossing patterns/ hitch routs. Not a bad play except it always seemed to be 3rd and 8!

Leach has won me over, and I trust his Jedi-mastery of his offense.( What the hell is that punter doing here?:D )

yeah that pisses me off to, but its helps though!

[wargograw]

dropped passes and fumbles.

you touch it, you catch it.

then again i cant say id do any better haha but thats why i dont play receiver or tight end

[charlesrixey]

the swinging gate


sometimes i like it, sometimes i hate it

[dragons08]

when we sometimes "pooch" kicked it. im pretty sure cade can blast it out of the endzone.

[CKE]

Not putting the ball in the hands of the best player on the team as much as you should....

[Bobcat81]

Making the kickoff team go down in a three point stance before the ball is kicked. Seems a bit adolescent. :rolleyes: Just kick it and turn the killers loose!

[SLC13]

when we sometimes "pooch" kicked it. im pretty sure cade can blast it out of the endzone.
I would say that special teams in general have been below average for the Dragons during our run. What is the most baffling is that we can't seem to find any semblence of a reasonable punter. I can't even remember the last decent one we've had....... :confused:

[fireaway]

when we sometimes "pooch" kicked it. im pretty sure cade can blast it out of the endzone.

I was on the kickoff squad for the entire regular season and the reason that we pooched it was when and if we did kick it far and really well...we just werent good at covering...it was a mess coach dodge even came over a few times during i think playoffs and said not too but coach drake knew as well as we did we just couldnt cover well

[panamamyers]

Kickin off out of bounds
Roughing the kicker
Muffing a punt

Since when did Southlake need a punter?? :)

[dragons08]

Since when did Southlake need a punter?? :)

once we put the 8thgrade C team into play, they just cant score any more points ;)

chase daniel was a good punter for 2 punts..

you know what sucks, when i punt the ball 50 yards, go to the game, and see that our punter hits it like 10, and wayyyyyy to the right, im thinking wtf? couldnt we have found someone better, im in freaking band and i can punt decent.

[99cujo]

What get me is when your running back is picking up about six yards a pop .Late in the fourth a close game & they stop your back for maybe a one yard loss.The o\c pass the ball the next two time for incomplete passess ..duh Let the back run the next two plays at six yards a pop......dummy

[wargograw]

so punt for the team

[dragons08]

ha, easier said than done.

a) its different with pads on
b) its different with huge kids come flying at you

[GoOwls]

For Garland, the unnecessary roughness personal fouls and the unnecessary celebration personal fouls and the unsportsmanlike conduct personal fouls.....they'll kill you....or keep the other guys drive going.

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

Pitch left on 3rd & 22!!!!!!:mad: :mad: :cry

LMAO! Coach Wilson ain't changed a bit.

[Matthew 2000 Eagle]

I went to a Plano Wildcat game last season, and, I noticed that when the Cats threw the ball, the recievers only ran the fly route. Never in my life, had I seen so many fans get that pissed off. I can't blame them though.

[slorch]

Not putting the ball in the hands of the best player on the team as much as you should....

Are you talking to me?

signed,
Coach Fran

[Drake]

Not my team(s) necessarily, but it seems as though more offensive coaches could be planning for the next play ahead of time. Sometimes it looks as though they watch the results of a play, scream at a few guys, then start considering the situation, down, and distance after the ball has been put in play for the next play. I've seen the QB have to rush alot and timeouts wasted because of this and I've seen it on all levels.

[maxtor]

I wished SLC would go for two more often. I think they could make it 75% of the time.

[Kingwolf]

I wished SLC would go for two more often. I think they could make it 75% of the time.

LV's FB dive play...that play irritates the fire out of me. It seems our whole offense is setup on it...The only problem is that in tight games, when it is stuffed...we keep using it!!!!:puke

[pied]

For Lamar, Peach has been pretty aggressive going for it on forth down when I would have been more likely to punt.

In about '87/'88 they started the one back offense. Right off the line they have a slot back and have been running this little end around. It was a great play 20 years ago, but rarely works now. Still run it several times a game.

[KLH75287]

When the Coach calls a TO at a critical point in the game needing to make a first down, and after all of this mystery, comes out and runs the same play that has been getting stuffed ALL DAY!:mad:

Makes me CRAZY, and I lose sleep for days thinking about it.

[RidgePride]

When a team converts on third and long especially multiple times in a series. or resulting in a TouchDown (3rd and 8 or more)

You hold a team to almost nothing or negative yards on 1st and 2nd down with high hopes of a quick 3 and out - Only to be deflated. Drives me nuts

[Big Time Bruin]

ha, easier said than done.

a) its different with pads on
b) its different with huge kids come flying at you

LMFAO :D man you're funny and right!

[CKE]

how about a fake punt when you have the lead at the end of the game.....

[FootballCrazy727]

Pooch kicks are the stupidest things EVER. I also hate draw plays on 3rd and 8. Hardly EVER works

[wargograw]

I wished SLC would go for two more often. I think they could make it 75% of the time.

but then according to kirk herbstreit "we really start to have to question the class of this coach, he needs to act like hes been here before"

[K-Rock]

Missing tackles in the backfield, stupid penalties (false starts, personal fouls, etc...), and a

WR RUNNING A TWO YARD ROUTE WHEN ITS FREAKIN 3RD AND 8!!!!!!!


I also hate a coach that only has 5 plays in his playbook and is determined to run them no matter how much they are getting stuffed.

[LeanderLions3033]

Having a bad kicker can REALLY drive me crazy. I say this only because last year was the first instance where i can really remember Leander having a downright horrible kicker. Robert Georgefski (UCLA soccor) and Pedro Pirrera (UNCW soccor) had been our kickers for the last 4 years before this past year, but last year our kicker i think made 2 actual field goal attempts and had several missed extra points, and blocked fieldgoals due to low kicks (he even had one extra point hit the back of the deep snappers head). I mean how hard is it to go to the soccor fields for practice to see who would be willing to kick.

haha ive done that in pracice before. It was hilarious.
(and i am no longer the kicker.)

[Dawg Fan]

Giving up a Hail Mary pass to lose a game:mad: :mad:

Getting a delay of game penalty because a coach didn't get the play called quick enough.:mad:

Not making extra points:mad:

[MidLineOption73]

I will go with ...

False Starts by the center (snapping on the wrong count) :cry

Offsides on 4th and 4 or less. :eek:

[DrEdward]

Delay of game penalties make me crazy.

[LP-79]

When the CHEERLEADERS take a break! Come on us OLD FARTS gotta have something to look at!

I know what you mean. in 2005 we lost to Copperas Cove 20-19. We had 2 missed extra points and 2 missed field goals of under 40 yards...

[dragons08]

I was just trying to be funny! Dang lighten up a little!

i know dood, just messing back with ya, chillax dood.

[Slim-Rob]

I hate when the run doesn't work on 1st down so they throw it on 2nd and 3rd down.

I hate when a lineman comes off the field yelling at his fellow teammates about a blown play when he was the one who missed the key block...

Judson always does a reverse play on the kickoff return. One back is designated to keep the ball going one way, and they always cross, sometimes handing the ball off, sometimes not. Well onetime, Randez James caught the ball and tripped on like the 2 or 3 yard line and fell. I think it was against Roosevelt in the game that was Judson 3 Roosevelt 2 at the half. (yes a football game)

I absolutely can't stand when the QB and RB on the other team are constantly running into each other, sometimes even knocking one another down, yet they still beat you. (Judson vs Westfield at the Astrodome in 04.)

[FootballFan08]

Yea

[LP-79]

Student body left-Student body right- Student body up the middle. Punt. I always have hated that. I remember everybody from one school hollering " You got no heart, You got no toughness if all you do is pass" When they got 3 touchdowns behind they got eirily quiet. Go figure.

[FeeltheHaka]

Recievers not running their routes properly. Makes the QB look bad.

[KLH75287]

In 2005 we lost to Copperas Cove 20-19. We had 2 missed extra points and 2 missed field goals of under 40 yards...

That sucks...

[green day]

* any play that ends in a taunting/unsportsmanlike conduct penalty

*Punting the ball from inside your opponent's 40 on 4th, only to have the ball go into the endzone and end up at the 20. Net difference of 10+ yards with no opportunity to maintain possession with a 4th down try. Too conservative-
*when a player tries to scoop up a fumble unnecessarily and run, only to muff it and give it back.

[Plano]

running the same 5 plays without a workhorse running back and even after you found out they didnt work....thanks Brence " we gotta run that old school offense man"

[Kilt-Boy]

Pooch kicks are the stupidest things EVER. I also hate draw plays on 3rd and 8. Hardly EVER works

AMEN to that!!!!! Seems like that became our favorite play last year.

The normal drive (against quality oponents) was something like.......

1st down - 3 yard run
2nd down - QB back to pass, can't find receiver, doesn't get rid of the ball, 15 yard loss.
3rd down - Draw play for little to no gain
4th - PUNT

Well maybe that's not all we did, but it definitely drove me bonkers when we did!!!!

[OakTreeUp-n-Out]

Delay of game penalties make me crazy.

I could never be an OC... it would be paralysis by analysis for me on almost every down. There's so many options, so much statistical data to consider, and so much human element with momentum/player stamina level/etc.

I know what you're saying though... it's frustrating from the stands.

[OakTreeUp-n-Out]

Recievers not running their routes properly. Makes the QB look bad.

Ain't that the truth. What's even more disgusting is sitting in the stands and listening to the morons who have no clue say things like "where in the world is he throwing that? There wasn't even anybody close.... I could do better than that!". Multiple that frustration by 10 if it's a soccer mom saying the above quote. That's one of the rare situations where I feel pity for a QB.

[LionVarsityCheer]

when you get the ball on a 4th and one and you PASS IT INSTEAD of running it:mad:

[J-Rock Mom]

Pooch kicks are the stupidest things EVER. I also hate draw plays on 3rd and 8. Hardly EVER works

Okay, I am a woman, so can someone explain this one to me?:confused:

[lobo1982]

When you have a big time receiver[M. Kelly] and you don't use them enough.

[TexasRed6x]

When you change your offense to the spread and you only throw the ball 5 times a game.

[Slim-Rob]

Okay, I am a woman, so can someone explain this one to me?:confused:

When you kick it short intentionally and make it bounce a lot down the field.

I do like the pooch kick, but only when it's near the end of a game or a half when there's little time left.

[CCBoy]

When you change your offense to the spread and you only throw the ball 5 times a game.

I feel your pain buddy!

[2ManyExperts]

1. When the QB runs 2 the sideline to get every play and ur offense is mainly options and bootlegs.
2. Constantly Running the option to the short side of the field.
3. Calling a timeout 2 run a trickplay...now we're ready..
4. Teams that have no clue in ref to game clock.
5. Not running the no-huddle offense when game is winding down and run outta time on a good drive.
6. When fans sit on opposite side and talk crap.
7. Having a 6'5 receiver and throw him 1-2 passes a game.
8. Always starting 1st down with a FB dive

[RicosRevenge]

I love 5 yard passing plays on 3rd and 9.

[Rolltide]

At Strake we have a limited number of players so a few of the players are going both ways including the QB. So, what do we do? We run him to the side line to recieve every single play, then tell him to go play linebacker.

[J-Rock Mom]

Gotcha, thanks for the explaination.

AMEN TO THAT!! YOU JUST DESCRIBED SGP PERFECTLY! God I hate that crap. Especially 1 and 2. That is all we would do with Dewberry the past two seasons. Teams will eventually catch on, and they did resulting in us being shut down on offense both years in the second round of the playoffs by Plano and Colleyville Heritage.

[2ManyExperts]

The pooch kick could work when:

1. kicked 1-2 times a game
2. kicked high @ 20 yds deep, possibly hitting a retreating opponent in the back.
3. making the Punt Returner run up to attempt to catch ball against traffic causing fumble
4. even if PR catches ball he's open 4 a highlite smash.
5. most teams will let the ball hit ground and get away from it, but a football's bounce is dangerously unpredictable.
6. Play could back fire and bounce back to original line of scimm.

[LoboFan07]

Game plays that make me go $%^$%^$#^?

*looks for the Longview play book and puts it on the table*

There ya go.

[GHSalumni]

For Garland, the unnecessary roughness personal fouls and the unnecessary celebration personal fouls and the unsportsmanlike conduct personal fouls.....they'll kill you....or keep the other guys drive going.

You got that right...sums up the Garland Owls trouble every season, especially early on in the season. Garland likes to rack up the 15 yard penalties, and lots of em. But...they seem to get pretty well disciplined as the season goes on.

[sgp3]

U said a mouth full then.:)

[dada]

The Stage: Astrodome
The Teams: Madison Vince Youngs(Houston Madison) vs. Austin Westlake.
The teams are going score for score with time running out.....Madison FINALLY makes a stop...or did they...4th and like 20 for Westlake....Yeah...Madison vs. Lufkin....here we come....Westlake runs a DRAW play.....straight up the middle.....Touchdown from like 65 yards out.


I could be wrong on some of the details....Westlake fans update me.

[SLCDad]

When a team converts on third and long especially multiple times in a series. or resulting in a TouchDown (3rd and 8 or more)

You hold a team to almost nothing or negative yards on 1st and 2nd down with high hopes of a quick 3 and out - Only to be deflated. Drives me nuts

That reminds me of SLC trying to stop Westlake for the entire game in the '06 final.

[StormingCowboy]

1. When a team uses a running back by committee, but one of the backs is a stud and is CLEARLY more effective than the others, but the coach sticks with his normal rotation.
