Going for it on fourth-and-inches was the right call a billion times over. This was the worst possible outcome that almost never happens.

Fumble or no, the right call is to take the 3 (assuming your kicker can make a 47-yarder) and make the other team drive the long field for the TD to win it. Brutal, arrogant call, IMO.
Dunno, just struck me that way is all. To me, the conservative call in this case seemed so much smarter that the aggressive one looked arrogant by comparison. And it ended up costing him the game. :shrug:therealjohncarlson":w3k4smcl said:VivaEfrenHerrera":w3k4smcl said:I couldn't disagree more! I was talkin' to the teevee as soon as they made the call.

Arrogant call? WTF are you talking about?

Ha! Fair point. I wasn't aware Crosby was that bad. If you can't trust your kicker to make a 47-yarder, my whole argument goes out the window.HawksFTW":n82vtuvo said:VivaEfrenHerrera":n82vtuvo said:I couldn't disagree more!

You know, for being named after a kicker, you must not pay much attention to the kickers in the NFL. Crosby has been horrible lately, on the verge of being cut.

Oh, and that flushing sound you hear is the Pack's playoff aspirations swirling down the bowl.

I don't see anyone really discrediting Cincy, at all in this thread. I think the general temperature of the Bengals, on this board, is that they are a very talents, young, and DEEP, team.

Fair enough, I skimmed it too quickly.HawksFTW":10m5867s said:hawksfansinceday1":10m5867s said:Yeah outside of that though you're right though I don't think "Dalton sucks" either.
Well, if we are nit picking, I don't think one person constitutes "a lot". :roll:
