Well for people like eesti, they are gonna accuse you of monday morning quarterbacking.
I agree with the call to go for it on 4 and 1 at the 5 yard line with only about 2 minutes and a little change to go.
WHAT WAS FREAKING STUPIDDDDDD WAS THE DECISION TO PASS THE DAMN BALL!!!!!!!
What in the HELLLLL WERE THEY THINKING?
A run has two advantages. Either you make a touchdown or you get the first down.
If you get the first down, then you can be assured that the Chiefs won't have enough clock to work with.
The worst thing that can happen is if you get stuffed. But that's no worse than an incomplete pass.
When you pass, there are equal chances of three things. 33% chance of a completion, 33% chance of an incompletion, 33% chance of an interception.
Now if it were 4th and goal from the 5, I would have said, "pass your heart out."
But come on, passing on 4th and goal from the 5.
The only reasoning for that that is not absolutely insane (it's still stupid but just not insane) is that the element of surprise will make it a good play.
Even if we get to the playoffs, this play calling will make it not worth our while.
No way were we looking past this game. Our defense has been getting exposed for weeks. This KC offense has been scoring a lot of points since Thigpen became the starting QB. Our D just isn't very good right now. Sorry - understatement. Our D stinks right now.
I'M freaking disgusted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 4th and 1 terrible call which then lead to the chiefs TD...........we should have been up 31-21....TERRIBLE WASTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and the chiefs get the ball first in the second half while our D is taking the day off............UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like last week to me. We played like crap last week but were fortunate to play against a lousy offense that was playing without their best player. We are getting gouged by the run and can't get pressure on the QB. We haven't forced a punt yet.
And some of you say ginn doesnt hold on to the ball...........He just caught a 15 yarder and got rocked...........still held on to the ball..............I think he has a shoulder injury....
