Yeah, I heard that question (and 20 others in the same tone)...
They wouldn't have HAD a blocked field goal without the penalty...they had 12 guys, all bull-rushing up the middle. It would have been a miracle if the DIDN'T block it. They knew it immediately too, as most of the defensive players stayed right there by the original line of scrimmage all through the review and before. The crowd was confused, but the players were clearly aware of it. It wasn't a block, and it wasn't a 14-point swing. It was a penalty. It WAS a 4-point gain though, with the first down on penalty erasing a sure 3-pointer, and then Hass rocked the house again!
I think a very good game is in store next week. I will be watching Curry and Wilson on every defensive play for sure...
Go Hawks!
