Did you guys not notice what happened to our running game after SJ and Cogs went out? With SJ and a healthy OL, I have no problems with trying to run for it. |
I thought you gave up?
Okay, here's what I think, it was a single yard against the Browns. Yes they stopped 3 other short yardage tries, but like Nick mentioned earlier, when you consider all the bad things that can happen on a pass play, a run to get 1 yard is the best bet. It's true Bulger was having a very good day, but he still had times where he was erratic and the Browns were pinning their ears back and getting close to him most of the game. Taking everything into consideration, the call was a prudent one IMO.
