ok you would go for it and liked the call. I would not and did not like the call. Its somewhat of a uselesss debate because we only know that they failed going for it but we dont know what would of happened if they choose to kick it. That decision may not of gotten them a win either. My question to you is this, why does it matter if your contention or not? I mean even if your in last place as a fan dont you expect your team to play to win and walk off the field being respected by your opponets. I understand that you think he made a decent call and you understand that I dont. He showed his players disrespect by going for it and not letting them to continue to battle it out to the end. He went all in with his chips on one play. KC played SD tough all day long, thats how they got there to that decision. To me, if was there coach, kick the point. Then I turn to my team and praise them all for tieing up. Then you tell them now its time for you guys to show me which ones of you are winners and which ones of you are losers, this next quarter may be the determining factor of who is and who is not being cut. Now get out on the field, show your mettle, and bring your fans home an overdue victory.
Plain and simple you put the opprotunity to win or lose on your players. Before the coin toss but after the kick to get you to that point. Even if noone on that plane ride home says it, the defense is thinking this to themselves, Damn it offense you lost a game that we kept you in. If Herm would of kicked the point it would of been a team win or loss. ooops sorry i drifted from my question.
I guess I just understand football well enough or something I just think that was one of the worst calls I have ever seen in my entire life. Well thats a bit of an overstatement but its on the top 100 list. Im not disrespecting your opinion, I just completly dont see anything good from what shahan did or KC I think they were both ballsy moves but dumb.
Im going to stop it here but I'll you what I could literally type about how wrong I think he was to go for it for another hour or more.
