I heard last week that they used to have the posts at the front of the end zone like in rugby. Some time in the 80's the posts were moved to the back of the endzone.

The reason was to make it safer near the line (less players bonking their noggins off the posts), and to discourage teams scoring points through field goals as it's less exciting than touchdowns. Good call I think.

Yeah i have seen old footage where they had the posts on the goal line, but that was like in the 50's. They definitley had them where they are now from the mid 80's onwards, when i started watching it.

Think the sky commentator just hit the nail on the head. The last team with the ball is going to win this game. Every drive seems to end in a TD

We could see one team eat up the clock with a 4th quarter drive even though they are behind. (ala wot the Broncos did yesterday) They want to score, but not too early so that the opponent has too much clock to answer. Fascinating stuff.

That was a meta-fumble.

Philly want Dallas to score, so they can do a four and a half minute dwell-up drive to win the game.

They're going to run it to kill the clock though, if they get clear, there's your wad.

Massive down.

Winner of this down could be in the Superbowl


edit : Thought I'd point out the deliberate irony intended in this statement, in case it's not evident
