Why throw the ball 2 yards?
Because two yards is safe. Short pass = small chance at a turnover & small chance they'll break a tackle and get the 1st down.
Plus Carpenter makes that FG if we gain 2 yards and not loose 2 yards.

I don't see opinions... Just see wahhh, we won, wahhh.
dont think that was towards you, but you said it best.
"shut up and enjoy the win"
OK...I took that personally. (my bad)..and I do love the win. I thought we would be 5-11 after we go Chad and 3-13 before...so I am impressed. That being said, the team has to take advantage of every opportunity (sp?) it gets. I am old enough to remember the years when we had such promise for an upcoming year and then missed the playoffs.
...and I love the victory, but still think that the call on third down was the wrong call. I believe you can't run a play that looses yards in that situation. If we do not loose yards on third down, Carpenter barely MAKES that FG on the same kick instead of misses.
The team is going in the right direction.

It might work against average or bad teams, but if we play a good team it is going to hurt us. The game plans these guys come up with are atrocious. When it's 3rd and 6, why do we throw the ball 2yards? We have got to start playing to win the game. Why did it take to the middle of the 4th quarter for us to get aggressive on defense? :err:
yes it will we need to stop being conservative because this was our problem back in 1998 , and 1999 we just barely beat the bad teams and then we would get beat in the playoffs becuase of it.
