Hated it. Take the points.
Good points here. Why weren't they running the ball? Why not make the effort and try for a six point lead? Why the trick play with that personnel?

Hated it.

It wasn't as bad a call as the Falclowns running a reverse out of the wildcat. LOL. But, it wasn't a good call.

Mark was meant to run the ball. One of the defenders read it right and Mark was forced to throw it. Heard that on WWL this morning.

Re: The Fake Field Goal Attempt

There have been some good arguments made, although I still think he should have kicked it. Morestead was booming the kick offs deep and they would have most likely had a long field to work with and needing a TD to win....I gotta give credit to our defense in the fourth quarter they play tough.

At first, I disliked the call. But after thinking about it, it was the right call. If we make it and execute it right, we possibly score a TD. If we miss, which we did, it backs up the opponent and they have to go 90 yards for a TD and face a furious pass rush!

Only problem with that is we didn't have a furious pass rush yesterday. In fact, we didn't have ANY pass rush....even our Chuckie blitz was coming up empty

Actually Dinkins was wide open ... and probably for a TD too! The problem here was that Brunell did not see it quick enough and Dinkins got "unopen". We needed the quick strike thinking of Brees on that play! That brings to mind, why not have Brees hold on certain kicking plays?

Run the ball. First down, run Pierre. second down, run Hamilton. third down run reggie. First down and repeat. TD or time expires.

Re: The Fake Field Goal Attempt

Loved the call because it caught me and everyone else totally off guard. Brunell bungled the execution but it was a fine call.
