You convert that 4th down and go on to score and it's a 5 point game and suddenly the Browns sphincter is tighter than Mike Brown's grip on his wallet.
Not saying you’re wrong. I was calling for that last night. But our defense had stopped them twice, and I’m sure HCMT thought the risk of not getting it and giving the short field was the greater evil to thinking we can get a third three and out in a row. The PROBLEM is.....who among us has any real confidence in this team to get 2 yards?!?!? I mean, do we have a great play caller? A great RB? What are the real statistics on us being able to get that 4&2?
I hear what you are saying 6L
but I have to totally agree with Wig on this one......it does not matter about our confidence to make 2 yards or whether we have a play caller or RB ........ all that mattered is we were moving the ball and closing the gap on the scoreboard in a game that we had gifted with turnovers..... it is a one and done scenario........... playoff game...........play balls out there & pick up the 1st and make it a one score game would have made the Browns **** themselves........ if we didn't get it worse case was we asked the DEF to defend 25 yards less of field position......... we had nothing to lose.....we needed to attempt that 4th down play ....it signalled surrender to me when they did not..... hell I would have handed it to Claypool and told the kid to elevate over the pile ....do or die baby.....instead we try and draw them offside with the punting crew........just roll over and expose your genitals in submission mode
