over a 3 dime swing to me on the fcuking total tonight but i'm not as pissed that it went over as i am about the terrible fcuking strategy that led to the total coming in. if you need two fcuking scores does it really matter the order in which you get them? i would not be nearly as pissed had they kicked the fcuking fg with 1:30 or so and gone for the onside kick, basic shit here people.
I wouldve went for it Teazeman. Like I said, it helped tonight.......Herm Edwards did this too me a month or so ago, and recently his dumb ass doesnt even attempt FG's, which has also cost me money........hmmmmm is there a trend here?
Anyways, If I am the coach, my thinking is this. Im down 10 or 11. I need a TD and FG. If I am inside the 20 (in this case inside the 10), and it is 4th down and short I am going for the TD. Each circumstance is different. THe reasoning for this one was simple though..
It was 4th and 1 inside the 5. You are already at the endzone. Time was at a premium. If they go for it and score, now 1-2 passes after the onside kick puts them in FG range. If they kicked the FG there then recovered the onside kick, they very well may have run out of time trying to score the TD in this particular situation.
Also it made no sense to go for the first 4th and 1 then lay up on the second 4th and 1 and kick the FG. Had they kicked the FG the first time, then recovered the onisde kick they wouldve had enough time to score a TD. Just my 2 cents.
