WTF is Gruden doing?

[GM]

...going for it on 4th and goal from the 14 with 3:45 left in the game, down 7????

Kick the F**king FG and you've still got time to get the ball back. Cripes.

 

[Clem D]

fg makes it 4?? Still need a td either way

 

[GM]

Seriously. What a completely useless decision. You kick the FG & you're down 4 kicking off. But you force your rookie QB to complete a 14-yard pass when the opponent knows it's your only play?? And when it doesn't work you turn the ball over on downs?? For what?? Now you need a TD just to tie the game... and then you've got to score some more....points you WOULD HAVE HAD if you'd kicked that chip shot FG.

And NONE of the announcers even thinks it's an odd decision?? Geeeeeezus.

 

[GM]

Ya a FG makes it 4...but then they only have to score once more to win. Are they only playing to go to OT and then hope they get lucky?

There's a ton of time left on the clock... terrible decision to come away with nothing on that drive. Asking a rookie to complete a 14-yd TD pass on 4th down is a bit much.

 

[Rcxslam]

going for it is right move....IMO

 

[GM]

Why? If it doesn't work you have to stop them, and then score twice to win. Not the right call with 3:45 left. With a minute left, ok.

 

[GM]

TD! Yay!!!

Tie game!!

(Of course, if they kicked that FG they'd be up 3 now with :58 left. But naturally, they'd rather only be tied and hoping they get lucky in OT. )

 

[GM]

OMG. He's going for 2 now. When he could already have the lead.

What a lucky, DUMB F*CK.

I'm not even so sure he got in. His momentum was stopped almost 3 yards short of the line. If he did make it in it was by a hair.

 

[yak merchant]

What happened?

 

[in the black]

made it.

 

[soul train]

He got big balls.........

Plus i don`t think he was in


Bullshit call

 

[GM]

Wash penalty on the extra point. So they spot the ball on the 1, and Gruden elects to go for 2. And they make it by a hair. Currently being reviewed.

 

[freelancc]

:shocked: :shocked:

 

[addikted]

elbow was down.

 

[DIRTY Diapers]

OMG - I have Tampa -1 I seriously wanted this to go in OT

 

[DerekNJND]

BS call but I got TB on the end of my NE parlay, at a pick, so I'll take it

 

[soul train]

Of course it stands..its in tampa

His helmet was barely in the zone


Bad call in my opinion


I hope the skins beat them

 

[GM]

Play stands, TB up 1 with :58 left.

I have TB ML and should be happy, but I tell you, the last 4 minutes of this game Gruden has lost his f*ckin' mind. If I win this I consider myself extremely lucky.

 

[gjn23]

ruling on field has to stand.....no replay ever showed where the ball was and when he was down

 

[gjn23]

dont worry...wash will be lining up for a fg here in a few plays
