Longest game

[mabuzzer]

Just got FOF before Christmas, and am totally hooked.

Made the playoffs for the first time this week, in my third season, and got to the Divisional Round.

The Wild Card game went to 4 (FOUR) OT periods, before I won it with a 54 yard Dante Hall punt return 5 mins into the fourth OT. Which is 10 minutes short of 2 full games!!!

Just wondering if this was some kind of record for the longest ever FOF game.....

[pskov]

110 minutes that is certainly the longest I've ever seen. Returning a punt must be easy when the other players are barely crawling after you. ;) Just don't expect to win next week. :)

[mabuzzer]

I didn't! Although I think I only lost by 3 points, on the road

[Yossarian]

you must have had some whack stats....

[Hurst2112]

cool, 4 ots!!!.

Congrats on the game ending like it did.

I would imagine that it would be tough to have a special teams keep their concentration for 4 ots. A lot of punting i would assume.

By the way, how many times did each team punt? What were the return stats for the whole game?

The networks were probably pissed. (not cutting to commercials during ots....hehe)

I had a game (the Super Bowl, no less) that lasted for 113 minutes with FOF4 and posted the story (with pictures):

4 OT periods? After the end of the 1st one, doesn't that result in a tie?

Or wait...ack, playoffs. Must shake sleep from head and awaken...

[GoSeahawks]

Who led the day in tackles? My guess is that someone would have at least have 20.

a la Dan Morgan during the Conference Championships?

[Yossarian]

Morgon was on almost as many tackles (11 + 2 A's) as Delhome threw passes (14)

Aye, aye. I'm getting my numbers mixed around!

35 punts between the teams...that's amazing.

[Peregrine]

71 passing attempts by Harrington! Wow.

Welcome to FOFC and our FOF addiction btw, mabuzzer.

[Chappy]

130 attemps combined! Wow!

[kcchief19]

I like the fact that there was more than 1,300 in punt yards. :)

I wonder who was more tired:

* Dixon, who ran the ball 44 times
* Harrington, who threw the ball 71 times
* Campell with the 18 punts
* Arrington with 19 tacklels and 4 assists

[sooner333]

Oh, here's a very non-show-stopping bug, but in between the second and third OT's, there would be a halftime, stopping the game and, I believe, would start a new half (just like regular halftime). I don't know if this has even ever happened, but the refs always talk about it before playoff OT games.

[hukarez]

Wow...looks like the punters sure got a work out this game!

I'm guessing not a single punt got blocked....or, I haven't really paid close attention to the box score yet. Still - how very pass happy!

[MIJB#19]

71 attempts without an interception!
