Thanks for highlighting that they do still occur tho. Appreciate the work to prove they aren't obsolete with the new rules, and they are still possible and happening.

You guys have just gotten used to the fair catch and/or no blocked kicks, fake punts, returns etc... If so just say so. I get it. It's all we see typically of a Simmons run unit.

I get you are going to die on this hill, but claiming something that occurs .5% of the time "proves" they still occur as some victory is kind of comical. Sure in the hyperbolic sense yea they occur just like onside kicks and Hail Mary's do. People running around complaining their teams aren't doing those would be met with as much skeptisim. 

The funny thing is the Hail Mary actually converts at 9.3%, so literally a play considered to be a prayer is exponentially more likely to occur than what you are complaining about. The onside kick is successful just 4.23% of the time and people are talking about how ridiculously hard it is to get and if a rule change needs to occur to make it more viable. 

Again...you are complaining about something that occurs league wide .5% of the time they are attempted. The Patriots had a 99.9% chance of losing in the SB to the Falcons with 2:03 left in the 3rd quarter and orchestrated one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history, you are literally complaining about something LESS likely than that happening.
