In response to "What don't you get? -- nm" by kelly

hmm. (you're asking a moron). I don't get the multiple downs?

- fair engouh. and in my defense, I have to do that stuff in my profession or I would never sleep again. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:54
you get 4 downs (a try) to move 10 yards and then you get a new set -- nm - Batman Jan 1, 19:51 7
- so, the new set, that's just a reset? -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:51 6

  - as long as you make positive progress in yardage. If you don't make the X amount of yards needed you turn the ball over to the other team -- nm - Remlik Jan 1, 19:53 4
    - thanks. what is the X? or who picks it? -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:55 3
      - You have 4 tries to get 10 yds. So that's 1st and 10. The team manages to get 4 yds in their 1st try. So now it's 2nd and 6. - kelly Jan 1, 19:59 1
        
        ok, tx. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 20:00
      - ok say your starting point is the 10 yard line. You have to get to the 20 yardline or more for a new set of downs.... - Remlik Jan 1, 19:59
so you've never ever seen 10 minutes of a game. -- nm - TFox Jan 1, 19:50 3
- oh god yes. you have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 19:51 2
