Why punt?

[pmedic920]

Seriously?

Getting the ball into the hands of our best player. Makes sense to me.

It’s not like you’re getting the ball back and gunna miraculously play better

Because there's three minutes left, the defense has been playing well, and it would basically take a hail mary to get the first down.

Better odds of a defensive TD

And we know who would throw an interception anyways

Smith wasn’t going to do anything

They're kind of good at punting. Playing to their strengths.

WE, the fans, can think that way. If Macdonald is thinking that then there really is no hope for the season.

Football 101. One score down with 3:00 + minutes left. Defense playing ok. They stopped them and get the ball back with over two minutes left. That’s why they punted.

Ball back with a minute to go. Every coach other than Reid makes that call.
