4th and inches


Toolbox

Recommended Posts

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.

I don't know that anyone could make the wrong call there. Your QB is 6 foot 5, built like a linebacker, and has incredible drive in piles. put him under center, run him up the gut.

4th AND inches should be a easy convert with a QB like Cam on this team. We do nothing to take advantage of the one asset NO OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE HAS. The falcons game last year isnt even the main head scratcher, i have been noticing this for the past 2 seasons.

    • I find all the "what ifs"  and "yeah buts" kind of amusing 😆 Back during the 1985 NFL season, there was one team in the league who figured out a way to beat the Chicago Bears... and they did so in convincing fashion. Ironically enough, it was the Miami Dolphins.  When the Dolphins made the AFC Championship game, it set the stage for an epic rematch in the Super Bowl. The generationally dominant 85 Bears were going to have the chance to avenge their only loss and cement their legacy while the Dolphins could potentially gatekeep the mystique of their 72 team by keeping the Bears from winning the big one.  Would have been amazing 😃 Unfortunately, Miami blew it in the AFC Championship and the season ended with the Bears destroying a badly overmatched New England Patriots team in what was not exactly a fun, competitive Super Bowl 😕 Similar thing happened in the NFL's 75th season, which could (and maybe should) have ended with a matchup between the 49ers and the Steelers. Both teams were 4-0 in Super bowls at that time And it could have been billed as a war to determine the ultimate Super Bowl champion of that time... ... except the Steelers didn't make it, so we wound up watching yet another uninteresting blowout with the 49ers stomping the San Diego Chargers. As a football fan, I'd absolutely love to have seen the games that could have been. But in hindsight, I kinda doubt the Bears and 49ers fans lose any sleep over the fact that their championship trophies were in part aided by other teams' stumbles. Hell, that sort of thing happens on an annual basis. So am I gonna be bothered if, in the end, a good finish to this season is owed in some part to someone else's ill-timed failures? Lemme think about it 🤔 ... No.
    • My comment wasn't too serious, I retired from " public safety"  job in roughly the same area years ago and moved from the area. Like all cities  there's good and bad. Your synopsis of the town, which I agree with you is 💯.
    • Yeah, all teams needed to do was fake every FG and run surprise onside kicks and badabing badaboom, down goes Carolina.
