What a horsesh*t call. Down by 6, and you go for a TD on 4th and goal?
Bad. Bad. Bad.
Thanks, Ron!

Yep. Tolbert weighs like 250. Hand him the ball.kearly":21vmg4or said:I liked the decision, but didn't like the call. Even against Seattle's awesome run defense in a goal line formation, it's really hard to defend the run from half a yard out. Carolina has good running backs too.

Even if you assume that the strength of our defense pushes their odds down from being a 2:1 favorite to make it in to being something worse, they'd actually have to be worse than a 2:1 dog to get in for it to be a wrong decision. There's no way they were that.
Completely agree. Throw in the fact that it very nearly worked and I think it was obviously the right call. They needed six points, not three. Going for it on 4th down pinned us at our own 1, and had Lynch not turned on Beast Mode to pick up the first down on 3rd and 7, they were looking at some very good field position after a punt. Otherwise they kick a FG, (ideally) force a 3-and-out, and get the ball back near their own 10 with ~1:60 remaining and no timeouts. Given that we didn't have a 3-and-out all day, not a great plan.MidwestHawker":1s3mmdt4 said:It was absolutely the right call. 4th and 1 gets converted an average of 68% of the time in the NFL...
