Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
 
80 yard field goal son better chance than anyone else has of scoring there
 
Funny thing is we probably had a better chance making an 80 yard field goal than having Henne actually do well inside 2 minutes. FYI the NFL record FG is 63 yards...so umm....never mind.
 
Amazingly an 80 yard field goal might have been a higher percentage play than expecting that offense to get 5 clutch yards on 4 tries.
 
Can you imagine the fist pump that would have happened if he made that? Sparano would have ripped his damn arm clean off the the shoulder.

Yeah that fist pump would've put another hole in the O-zone layer.
 
We were on Cleveland's 48, so it would've only been a 65 yard FG.

But I think we made the smart decision on 4th down. Get a first and call a timeout and try a 50 yarder which is a lot more managable.
 
The playcalling sucked...

all game when it was 3rd & 10, we kept settling for throws underneath. Then when we only needed 5 yards to get Carpenter into range, we start throwing deep.

This team blows!
