You tell em Vic !!


"I thought it was kind of bulls---. I expected it from them,'' Fangio said. "Thirty-seven years of pro ball I've never seen anything like that ... but it was to be expected, and we expected it.''

To correct Fangio we saw this once before, with Farve/Strahan.

Not totally the same but chasing records instead of playing the game the right way.

Unfortunate it happened against one of the last old school dinosaurs. I gotta side with Fangs here and think Harbaugh deserves a spanking from the players union as well.

I think that's funny.

They ran the ball. That's not running up the score. I'd go for the record, as long as it wasn't costing a win. Records are part of the spice of the game.

lol He is isn't he? It's a regular season game, not exhibition. Most players are in for records as long as they win the game.

Why call the players union? Urban Meyer is available...

Maybe if Fangio didn't call pass plays and use all three of timeouts in the final 1:51 then the Ravens wouldn't have had time to call that running play.

Almost as if they were trying to still come back in a 2 score game or something. He should have been thinking "let's concede the game and make sure we run the clock out so the 1970s Steelers preserve the NFL record of consecutive games rushing over 100 yards"

So you're saying that Fangio was doing something in the best interest for his team?

Interesting.

It was only a 2 score game. They were trying to win. Totally different than putting your players at risk chasing a record.

When the Broncos got the ball back their win probability was 0.08% Why is Harbaugh putting his players at risk and Fangio isn't?

Maybe we should have a summer camp where Vic Fangio whips these grown suburban soyboys into shape.

Vic may very well be a free agent if he doesn't win this year. It's already his 3rd year and still have huge question marks at qb position with Bridgewater and Lock leading the depth chart. Both looked awful vs ravens.

Will Sean Desai take him on as an assistant?

I don't have a problem with Harbaugh going for the record. I have a huge problem with Favre handing Strahan the record instead of making him earn it.
