Going For it on 4th and 6

I dont think it was an easy decision. But it was certainly the ballsiest decision he has ever made. He earned his paycheck with that call.

I think it was.
Garrett seemed ready to go. Not much time went by. BOTH TIMES!

Just hope he never has to go back to calling plays.

I kind of understand Caldwell not going for it. They were still around midfield if I remember right. Momentum was already very much swinging our way and I think he figured his defense had been the star of the show for his team so far, so let them do it again.

Yeah but that's why I go for it. If I don't, I have to rely on my defense. Plus momentum was shifting. And then his punter who has been struggling kicks a 10 yard punt lol. That made momentum even worse. In hindsight it looks terrible but I can't agree with it. I would've been livid if Garrett did it. Maybe you do this in the regular season but in the post season? You have to take the games. No game is going to be given to you.

I was so relieved when they let time expire on that play. Don't know what he was thinking. That was a bigger mistake than anything the officials did the play before, as far as I'm concerned. If you don't go for it on 4th and 1, as a road underdog, after what had been going down in the 2nd half...I'm not sure what you're thinking.

They'd probably have easily converted, and then we'd have stopped them on the next set of downs, but nobody would be talking about the blown offsetting penalties in that case.

Oh I agree. Because I'm not sure if we stop them on 4th and 1. Maybe we do have a nice stand there. I can't say. But I have no problem losing by not getting a 4th and 1. If I can't get 4th and 1 against a decent/average defense than I can only blame myself. And then the punter kicks a 10 yard punt. That was killer. He gave our defense far too much respect there.
