Going for it on 4th down...........

[Keep Pounding]

I was screaming for him to go for it. If we got that close I figured we should go for it, I felt that settling for 3 could really hurt us in the long run. But as the game went on, that FG could have put us up at 11 points instead of leading by 8, which couldve been disastrous for us.

What do yall think....

[Wolfcop]

Correct call to go for it, bad play call.

[Zod]

take the points

[the butch]

good call to go for it. it was the home opener. home crowd influence. against the Saints*. on the 1-2 yard line. Saints* marched it down our throats the opening drive. oh yeah, and it's the Saints*. great decision to go for it. now, the play call is another story.

[Growl]

I kid you not I said "Oh go for it here. Be a man. As long as we don't do that stupid option we did a handful of times last year that NEVER worked."

Lo and behold.

[Guest Irv]

we still won

[Jackofalltrades]

In most cases I say take the points, but with it being a home game, with our offense in a statement game I think you have to go for it.

Too cute on the playcalling and the execution obviously sucked.

[Vampire the buffet slayer]

Should have went for it.

The 1st down that is.

Not the Touchdown.

[Davidson Deac II]

I voted that it was the right call to go for it. Against the Saints, its best to get all the points we can. But just before they snapped, I said please give Cam an option run/pass and nothing between the guards. At that point in the game, the Saints were getting a good push up the middle.

Oh well, I can live with the results. :)

[Delhommey]

You go for it. 10/10

[nagai]

I was fine with it either way. Their D was shaky all day, so it was a reasonable call. Maybe they should've called a play action pass, or an inside run play with Tolbert blocking.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, definitely should have gone for it, but it should have been a QB sneak or at least a FB plunge with Tolbert. Something quick up the middle like that rarely goes for negative yards, those plays to the outside are risky and should be used when a negative result won't have as much of an impact (i.e. not on 4th down).

I understood the decision to go for it on 4th down eventhough I didn't agree with the playcall. But, it was 4th and inches and we should've been able to get it. The real question is: Can your team continue to be competitve enough for the remainder of the game if you don't convert?

Personally, I would've kicked the FG. It's 4th down because we were stopped short of getting the 1st. We have enough time to return so I know we'll be back. I'll take my points now and not only increase my lead, but build confidence by getting something for my efforts. I guess that I'm just a little more conservative...

I'll put the chances that Cam and co. convert it.
