You Don't Go For It?

[top dawg]

I know. All these people would have been saying we should have kicked the FG.  

 

Damned if you do or don't, basically.

Helluva lotta armchair quarterbacks on this site.

If ron would have gone for it on 4 and 1 in OT and failed he would have been ROASTED by the majority of the people who are criticizing him for going for the tie and hoping for a good defensive stand resulting in us getting the ball back.

 

...and if he would have made it, Kenny Rogers would have bowed down.

[WhoAmI?]

And at the end of the season, when that tie is what separates from the other teams in out division, I'll be sure to remind you; hell, if this tie costs us a post-season berth, I'll eat my crow about it, but I feel that a tie is insurmountably better than a loss.

 

A loss is NEVER acceptable.

 

You don't know what the hell is going to happen at the end of the season, which is why you play to win NOW! And a loss is acceptable if you play your damn heart out and leave it all on the field. Well, the players played their asses off just so they can have their head coach bitch out.

No he wouldn't have. U play to win the game. If we was going to win, that was our only chance to win. The defense getting a turn over had a very low percentage, but Cam getting a first down had a higher percentage of success.

It was closer to 4th and 2 and nto 4th and 1, which if it was closer, he would've went for it.

If, if's were fifth's, we'd all be drunk.

[Rob Dylan]

After all these years, we're still playing not to lose. Ughh

[Pimpdaddy]

We played a tough game...Benji got hammered several times..good job young man. Good to see Cam running again.... we lost this game on special teams..period...Dee couldn't get off the field either... Play calling was good...I thought. oh yea...fkin refs...

[ThinkAboutIt]

NO, YOU DO NOT GO FOR IT.

 

YOU TRY TO GET THE 3RD AND 6 INSTEAD OF HAVING YOUR QB CHECK IT DOWN, like Rivera did.

 

Anyone getting upset about the 4th down call is a shortsighted fool. The problem was the call on 3rd & 6. Either run Cam again or throw something other than a check down. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

Pro bowl center and Cam Fuggin Newton need 1 yard go for it

Thank the bengals kicker because we were dead to rights

The 4th down decision is irrelevant.

The game was forfeited on 3rd down.

Everyone would like a win, for sure.  I don't understand some posters saying a tie is a loss.  I'll take 1/2 over 0 anytime.  It could make a difference at the end of the year.
