4th and inches

[Semaj]

You don't go for it on your own 34 while leading at home.

hell no on ur own 34. I am talking about the 50 yd line here.

I was OK with all tons calls on 4th down and end of the half. I had an issue with the punt at the 50. We had a defense that needed a sustained offensive drive by the O in order to rest. Not to mention the momentum that would have been gained. On addition what did we have to lose. Everybody believed we were going to lose. The pressure was on the Hawks to win this game.

yep, right call alright.

 

and we still lost.

 

We were massive underdogs this game.  If we lose, so what? We were probably gonna lose anyway. But if we make it....

4th and 2....up and home against an opponent that wasnt doing much?

That doesn't seem smart....not with how our D was playing. Keep playing field position. Can't set them up

The 4th and inches was close to the 50 yard line.. that's not a bad place to attempt to go for it.. if its back at the 20 you would have a point.

 

That's 20 yards from a FG in a 12-7 game.

We was leading 7-3 at the time.. would have been huge if we had went for and gotten it.. and the chances were very high cam would have gotten it no denying it.

I have a problem not going for the first 4th & inches, the second one you have to punt.

 

Oh, and people complaining about not trying to score before half time is just crazy.

I swear I can't believe some of the people that are mad at Rivera bc of the 4th down calls. You punt every single time in these circumstances. 

 

Im not going to repeat everything just re-read CRA's posts. 

[FootballMaestro]

I don't think Rivera is cut out for this.

It wasn't even inches it was less than an inch. Why waste time on the measurement if your scared playing not to lose ass won't go for it.

Exactly if you are too scared to go for a 4th and maybe and inch and a half then you simply shouldn't be a coach..

I'm probably in the minority here, but I didn't disagree with that call. Mainly because I didn't trust Shula to make the right call to get the first and second, because there was so much game left, and third, we were somewhere around our own 35 or 40 IIRC. Had it been in the 4th, absolutely.

And as made a abundantly clear in my posts, I hate Rivera, so I'm definitely not defending the idiot.

It was the right call.

It was 5-6 inches.
