We were in spread on that sack. Witten was open in the middle of the Endzone, but our O-line got dominated. People really can't complain about conservative play calling Yesterday when our O-line was utterly dominated. In past weeks sure, but not Yesterday.


Even if I accept this premise .... then Answer me this, what's the thinking behind, after an ultraconservative game plan, calling for that pass play at the end of the game?

We would have been way out of FG range. Why chance it?

yes and if youre gonna do that why not just toss the ball into the end zone. why throw the ball to a point where we still cant kick a field goal, but close enough so that a pick can be returned close enough for them to kick a field goal. if youre gonna go go all the way. dont give the game away on half assed attempts at being aggressive.

Horrible decision by Bledsoe. I'm sure Parcells' train of thought was if it's there Bledsoe could complete a pass to a WR on the sidline. Give us a chance at a long FG to win the game, rather than go into OT with Seattle having all of the momentum. If it wasn't there he probably thought Bledsoe would've made the smart choice. I really didn't have a problem with the call.
