Onside kick...

Maybe this was said in the game thread, maybe not. I counted eight Raiders on the 45, ready for the onside kick. Saw two guys about 10-15 yards beyond that. So there was one more guy there that I couldn't see on my teevee. Instead of attempting a traditional onside kick, how about a pooch-type kickoff? I'm nit-picking but seems that would be a better chance of recovery in that situation...

Is what it is. I would have avoided the trickery and allowed Parkey to actually kick it.

The crappy sponge like turf does not help either.

The trickery ****ed us pretty good because it showed our hand. They were obviously gonna use their otherwise meaningless timeout once they saw our set.

Still.... Had that ball went up on the second bounce we had a shot at it.

Meh, I'm not gonna bitch about an onside kick. Like 3% of them are recovered anyways. The surprise one was very nicely done... probably should've expected them to use their timeout there, couldve faked their strategy
