This win signifies where we are as a franchise

[lightsout]

We got the win. Cool. But I never want to experience this kind of win again. Never again do I want to watch us struggle to do anything offensively for four quarters and rely on defense alone to keep us in the thick of things, including a timely RedZone interception. 

Never again do I want to see us actually have an impressive drive that sets us up to win where we ACTUALLY end it with refusing to try for a TD from the fuging one yard line when your run game is hot.

 

No balls. No pride. No desire to be great. But absolutely fine with doing just enough to skate by. Tabor can be gone forever at this point. Bitch mentality from any coach. This isn't like just making it into field goal range and not wanting to fug it up. It's the goddamn goal line.

This season has been miserable enough. Just enjoy the win. Sheeeesh

[Growl]

pretty sure the knee at the goal line is the analytical play. I’m actually impressed they stuck to it and resisted the temptation.

Several comments are right above, but not the field goal complaint.

The odds to guarantee a win are do just what Tabor did at the end. Say anything else and you don’t understand football and how the win probabilities work with time remaining.

You realize even if we score the TD AND a 2 point conversation it would still be a one possession game, right? Not allowing the Falcons offense to take the field again was obviously the correct choice.

Not scoring a touchdown was the right play.

Sidenote. I think we also just assured that atlanta will go and get a real qb next season.

Atlanta losing is always a treat. That's the best part of today.

The confounding factors IMO are that they were behind, not tied, the rain, and the Falcons offensive ineptitude. No disagreement that the kick has a high probability, but IMO the situation was as appropriate as it might be for going for the TD and having more downs to still kick if it doesn't work. Not that it's better, not that the kick was a bad decision, but just that the situation might make it a viable and reasonable option.

Really minor thing though. Tabor made a conventionally-wise decision and it worked out.
