#1 When asked after the game if the team practiced that play, the coach said: "Are you kidding? We couldn't do that again against AIR!"

#2 What is painful is that the other team (Milsaps?) couldn't tackle. I mean, on a number of the laterals, the guy who got rid of the ball was left on marked and was able to run back and get into the play again. This was beyond school yard - it was almost contrived. They didn't have time to use this play but if they did it would have saved everyone a lot of running around.

#3 You see a lot of this in a rugby game. In Football players forget the rear pass before being tackle so used they are to rely on quarterback's forward pass to gain ground.

Now before someone thinks I am denigrating football I have to say that the most beautiful rugby try I have ever seen was the first Fijian one in Fiji-France 1987 where the Fijian players passed the ball a la quarterback ie one handed and over the head and that I am still thrilled when I remember how with one minute to go and at 90 yards from the line John Elway gained ground yard by yard for a last second victory of Denver over Chicago in the final of American conference
