I didnt think he had it in him but kudos for believing on the offense to execute.

I was about to start the same thread. Definitely brass.

Love to see him go for the jugular these last 2 or 3 games. We've just seen only the beginnings of his run.

Yes, I was think it took big ones on that 4th and 6 call.

Think that call was dictated by the area of the field as much as anything. Worst case we give them the ball around their 40. The expected value of a punt is them getting the ball at the 20 so all you're really risking is 20 yards of field position. Not a ton of downside. We saw the upside.

First one was a no-brainer. Second one? That was gutsy, maybe even stupid but it worked out. They don't convert there, our season is most likely over. But, it is better than playing not to lose, I will give him that.

Before he went for it, I was already screaming he should go for it.

It was like watching myself play Madden. Haha

Loved the aggressive calls.

He basically said "**** that feild goal bull"

Maybe my favorite part of this win. Garrett was one of the most conservative coaches in football going into this season. But in the last few weeks, he's started to turn that around. Those calls were absolutely correct, no matter how they turned out.

Hey 4th and goal was huge too, thought for sure they would go for 3 there.

It's easy to cheer a call AFTER the fact, I personally though he should have punted the second call but was so glad I was wrong.

I was wondering for whatever reason just before game , playoffs is all about playing to win and not playing not to lose, and wondered if JG has it in him , glad he showed he has it , LOL

he had some BIG ones today fellas...

this a totally different team we are seeing this year.


when we were down 14-0

teams of the past few years would have tucked tail and run.

not this team.

Sometimes I wonder if people are watching a different team than I am. Just last year, in a must-win game in week 16, we fought back from 9 down in the 4th quarter against Washington, winning it with a 4th-down TD pass. This team has had no shortage of heart the last few years.
