What the heck is it with these fins, who calls the plays and decides to punt on 4th and 4 leaving game in defense hands when your D can't stop anything ? they made the stop but then Sporano puts it in the offense's hands to make an 85 yard drive, when he MUST know their offense doesn't have what it takes to do so. disgusting play calling whole game, I didn't see a ball thrown over 20 yards......oh yea, and GINN, way to go once again, you have to make that catch man you have to, this the NFL Take a hit !!!!!

Punting was the right call there. If we don't make it they only need 20 yards to get into FG range and end the game. If Sparano went for it and didn't get it he would be getting bashed all week for a totally bone headed call. Besides the fact that it worked and we got the ball back.

I think we should have gone for it as well. The pats (imo) were going to put up at least 3 and take us out of the game. I think % wise you punt but some teams in that situation I wouldn't and the pats are one of them. I'm not going to be a hindsight guy. I thought we should go for it in that situation. If the pats put up points this board would be all over him for not going for it.
