... at the 35 with two minutes left. I'm glad we didn't. I guess that's why I'm not an NFL head coach. Great job by Pennington and props to Sparano for having confidence in the offense.

Very nice to win some of the close ones!

I would of also. The only difference would be i would use a different series of play calls on that final drive.. specifically the draw play prior to it.. pennington was doing fine on the dump offs, keep it in his hands!!

Yeah right. I was waiting the whole day that we finally started passing the ball. We ran way too much and did not have any success (granted, Ronnie had 100 yds but we had too many plays where we got stuffed behind the line). We should have opened it up earlier. Maybe the coaches were afraid because the Raiders hat 4 INTs in the previous game.

But I thought our passing attack looked good when it mattered. Should have passed the ball more earlier. Anyway, just my two cents. I am not a coach either and would have kicked from the 52 as well.

i would have kicked as well, though some people mentioned pretty windy conditions. that may have played a factor?

yeah i was wondering why we didnt let Carpenter kick the 52 yarder. Carpenter is a good kicker, i woulda let him go for it.

I believe that it was in the same direction that Janikowski missed the 47 yarder from earlier in the game, and if i remember right the wind a factor of it sailing, worth noting i think
