Brian Schottenheimer stands by his decision not to go for it on 4th and inches

So he doubles on his chicken crap ways?

There’s your head coach ladies and gentlemen.
 
If he wanted to punt then punt, I have no issues with that. My issue is taking the penalty for a low probability shot at getting NY to jump offsides. He did this several times last year to either take the penalty or waste a time out. If your at midfield and do that because the 5 yards may actually be beneficial for your punter then fine, it typically it feels like a guy trying to show the world how smart he is.
 
Not sure why so many people are upset they didnt go for it. Im all for being a lot morre aggressive but you dont go for it on your own 38 on the 1st drive.

Now hindsight ya they should've if we knew the offense would only get 6 possessions. But they also could've failed the attempt.
Agreed. Most of those calls have no right answer. Coach has to go with his gut. The same folks flaming him for punting would be flaming him for a failed attempt.
 
Idiotic decision, but worse than that, he gave them an extra 5 yds trying to draw them offsides, which only works against us, not for us.

He doesn't have the stones to be a great coach. Doesn't have the brains either. 0 for 2.
From the shotgun in a noisy stadium. You can't make it up.
 
You punt there. Period.

Especially with your new dominant, expensive defense.

He learned just us that was a farce.

It would’ve been stupid go for it and most teams don’t. I would’ve went for it but it’s more stupid to go for it then not.

...I also had no problem. NYG was winning the LOS battle.

Shotty probably felt it too.

He should have said, If I knew the offense was going to suck so bad and our defense was going to get beaten like a drum all game, I would have gone for it.
 
Exactly. This nonsense that if they failed, the Giants would have been set up in a great spot to score a TD.
Umm... Didn't the Giants score a TD anyway on their opening possession?
He hadn't seen his defense yet. The only reasonable expectation was they would be better than they were.
