- I ve seen a drop kick field goal but that behind the line of scrimmage [NT] - DonMiller - 5:32pm 1/3/25
- It never went through the uprights. Why should it have counted? [NT] - McIrish - 3:49pm 1/3/25
  - Watch the bounce. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 3:55pm 1/3/25
    - Yeah? It can't bounce over. Once it hits the ground it is dead [NT] - McIrish - 4:03pm 1/3/25
