4th and long.... and going for it?

[toldozer]

No it is about you being wrong, because you are wrong. And I don't think points is even a tiebreaker anymore, but you wouldn't know that.

[CRA]

Anyone who follows football knows you don't run up the score when the game is decided. It is an unwritten rule in the NfL. Much like schiano trying to piledrive the QB on a kneel down.The only people who break these rules are douches.

I would agree with you in regards to that in any type of football except the NFL.....

NYGs went on to have 2 more offensive possessions ...... so it doesn't compare to all these drive ending kneel down scenarios.

Again.....points are points. That isn't running up the score. I remember the GB/Car shoot out.....it can happen

[panthers55]

You don't run up the score because it comes back to haunt you. Remember when Payton ran up the score to try and give Brees the record. Since then the Saints have become one of our most hated rivals. That and bounty gate.

The thing is, you could tell exactly what was happening.  This is Rivera thinking:

 

"They think I'm soft and this presents just enough cushion to go for it... but I'll be sure to just still set up a fg because I'm still a pussy"

 

We are a reactive team when we simply need to be proactive.  

[CRA]

I know this is against the rules and if I need to be punished then fine.

CRA YOU ARE A fuging MORON!

Listen friend, I got no beef with anyone who disagrees.

Disagree like a big boy though.

[toldozer]

Sorry points is the 9th tiebreaker, im sure a playoff spot will come to that ever. It was much higher up the list when we almost lost a spot in the playoffs because of it.

[TheRumGone]

for someone that knows so much about this team and football, this is one of the most retarded threads i've ever read. And you wonder why you get called a nancy CRA. We blow out the Giants and you make a thread about how we should have done something else on a 4th and long when the game was already over.

 

wow

[Davidson Deac II]

They had 0 chance of winning at that point.  Don't care even a little bit.  Wouldn't have cared had he called for a punt, a statue of liberty play, or pulled a toilet out on the field and had cam sit on it while calling out the play.

[toldozer]

Cra's brain says two possessions equal 40 points. I can't disagree like a big boy when your stance is Soo incredibly dumb.

[CRA]

Eh, I like how aggressive Payton is...I guess that is my point. Payton also to date is a much better coach than RR.....

But I still have faith in RR getting better. But by nature he will never be Killer Instinct Ron. That is probably the main point of all this......people need realize Ron is what he is. I like him overall....but he will never be a foot on your throat type guy. People claim they want that..... yet agree with the mercy call. They contradict IMO

CRA you are totally off base and arrguing just makes it worse. It is an unwritten rule in the NFL. You don't Intentionally embarrass another team. That is unprofessional. Believe what you want but let this thread die. It takes away from good posts you have made in the past.

Lets talk about how Williams is over the hill and is all washed up instead.

[toldozer]

Yeah not like we dialed up a long touchdown bomb up huge late in the game. OHHH WAIT WE DID. get the fug outta here bro

wow

I don't put tons of stock in one game....which is why I predicted a win today while so many thought we would get crushed.

This in realty is a big picture discussion about Rivera. At heart, that play shows what he is.....I prefer a Sean Payton type at HC in the NFL. That's all. One of those can't see the forest bc of the trees type things

[FootballMaestro]

I don't have a problem with the 4th down then.  It was a mercy move. That was fine then. 

 

My problem, was not trying to score, and get Cam his 4th TD, or one of the RB's one, on the series earlier. Yes it's a nit pick. 

 

However/right now, Russell Wilson has 4 TD's in the first half. And I guarantee you, Carroll will try to get him at least 6 before the game's over. 

 

You gotta take them when you can get them.
