I think he had no choice but to go for it both times. With the way his team was playing it was a no brainer. But still commend him for having the guts go do it.

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.

Agree. This was a season ending game, so he placed his rep and trust in the team and they came through.

Great to see us do this, when in the past we would not deliver, or given up similar plays to opposition

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.

Was Washington good?

Great move by Garrett on both calls.

Love the confidence and aggressiveness

It's easy to be happy about these if they work and not if they don't, but before each snap I thought it was the right call.

There was no benefit in punting on the 4th and 6. We were in their territory and had all 3 TOs. Field position is always trumped by keeping the ball, especially that late in the game.

I wouldn't have made that second call but thought the decision was entirely consistent with the mindset of the team to go down fighting. Garrett showed nerves of steel on those two calls today.

As Jimmy Johnson would say, that took BRASS BALLS Jason.

Like him or not, Garrett put it all out there tonight. Give him some love folks.

Down 20-7, we had to go for it on 4th and goal from the 1. But the second one was all about having confidence in the passing game to get it done.
