smart. you need the FG and this way you save that timeout on the right side of the 2MW

Yup, realized it after I posted.  Smart move.  Too bad our defense gave up an 8 yard run on 1st down though.  Smh...

Still proud of their effort tonight though.

I understand it was an analytics based decision but that doesn’t mean it was the right one. Stupid call there.

The kick off will take it to the 2 min. Your not getting any time difference. Rodgers just gonna get one first down and milk the clock.

nope. touchback saved a few seconds, now it's second down and we have a timeout still. need to make the stop but that was a given.

i doubt we stop them here but really great gamesmanship by rhule if we get the ball back.

I know it is a smart play but it also means you don't trust your QB to score before the end of the game.

How? We still have to score a td to tie the game. It really means you trust your defense to force a 3 and out more than you trust your special teams to recover an onside kick. That seems logical.

I like seeing strategy like this, its an aggressive move in some way

[Yaboychris28]

Should have went for the TD and chance the onside kick than trusting this D to get a stop.

Rhule thinks he’s playing Chess until we give up easy first downs immediately Lmao 

Ok?  If we keep trying for a TD and then don't get the onside kick, then the game is over, because there isn't enough time even if we don't give up a first down..  The defense not being able to get the ball back has no bearing on Rhule's decision to kick there.

This is one serious college coaching staff 

It was a smart decision.  Better than relying on getting a td but then having to use an onside kick.  

[t96]

STUFFED! Nice D, 1 more play and we have a chance. Kinda hoping we score the TD but not the 2 pt. Competitive to the end, save our draft position, and keep GB from getting that 1 seed.

[Mr. Scot]

Sort of surprised Rogers didn't audible to play action there.

The way we were lined up, we would have been really vulnerable for one.
