Can anybody answer this?

Sparano said that the field goal unit was already really patched up and was worried about them protecting the kicker or the ball being blocked. He also said that he put trust into our defense considering the panthers had no timeouts. Now I agree we should have kicked the damn ball but the coach did what he had to do and what he thought was right. Which is why I liked it. Remember all those times last year when he would go for it on 4th and 1? Sparano does what the hell he wants too lol and doesn’t care what we think.

Sparano’s decision was sound. At the time it happened I was yelling at the TV, but I wasnt taking into consideration that our O-Line was being decimated by injuries. A block run back for a touchdown and we are blasting him for not punting or going for it. He makes the 1st and he is a genuis. There have been some vey questionable calls this year, but our defense was playing well and its good to show some trust. I just wish the D would not make my blood pressure go sky high every week with 1:00 left in the game.

We lost a couple key offensive linemen. Special teams, especially FGs (and long ones like that would have been) are tricky and everyone needs to know their responsibilities. When you have the big uglies in positions that they haven’t practiced the chances for someone breaking through are much higher. Add that to the lower trajectory of a long FG and you have the recipe for a block FG and possibly a TD.

I thought going for it was a good call but I would have liked to see them call for CH to look for Bess on a short pass….maybe even roll him to the right like they were doing with much success last night.
