It's one thing to gamble on your opening drive of the game. It's another to make one late in the game when a 4th down conversion means a win or loss.

 

I need to see him put in that position. I need to see the team put in that position. If they hold true, then the tide may have turned. Otherwise, it's the same old song and dance.

It's just amazing that it took 14 close losses for him to realize that going for it on 4th down might give you a better chance to win.  Amazing.

as long as he doesn't pull a jax and fake a punt on his own 20 in the first quarter i like the aggression.

Seems like to me that he reached out to Norv, and Norv just said "Ron, fug it, what have you got to lose at this point. . .go for it everytime"

So Rivera admits to having a checklist he goes through before every game, and the first thing he rattles off of the checklist is "Are we expected to win?".

Wtf is that? This type of attitude is why he is 2-14 in close games.
