Indeee Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 As bad as our oline is right now and as much as Luck was muddled in the pocket.. If vinny makes that opening game field goal we are in position to win with another field goal at the end. Trust me im not happy with the loss but im okay.. Sometimes the ball bounces the others team way or in this case off the upright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Smith Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I felt that was a situation where Pagano got too conservative. A 52-yarder is by no means a sure thing, and considering the Colts only needed 1 yard, I think the better call would have been to go for it. Sort of one of those "you play to win the game" type situations to use the tired phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think if we had went for it on 4th and 1 it changes the whole game. I find it hard to buy in to the power run idea when you don't have the confidence to gain 1 yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we were going to play aggressive on those 4th and 1's with Bradshaw powering through to get the 1st down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the ball bounces the others team way or in this case off the uprightI agree The goal post hit was a fluke....we were down 14-3 I was pleased with over 400 yards of offense and just one turnover We don't have much of a pass rush.... But we have some time...If we can get to 4-3........we're still OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have some time...If we can get to 4-3........we're still OK 2nd and 1 (or was it 2?) and we throw deep....fine...but then to turn around and throw again on 3 and 1 and we pass again....don't get it...then attempt a long FG...i knew when it happened that might be the difference in the game.... i think we are still okay even if we are 3-4 honestly....other than jax our next 5 games are brutal...even arizona is going to be a tough game....

It was 2nd-1 and we threw twice with Bradshaw in the backfield. Drove me nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mameluc Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I blame pagano on that one..i think we should have went for it on 4 and 1. Sometimes i think he is kinda conservative and we still dont have the defense to play like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsimans Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It was 2nd-1 and we threw twice with Bradshaw in the backfield. Drove me nuts! Thats what I'm saying.....horrible play calling then you settle for a long field goal....i don't mind the deep shot on 2nd and 1...but that is done when you are pretty certain you can get the first down on the next play or even the next two plays....then we pass again....then attempt a 52+ yard field goal giving them the ball at practically half field.... that possession realllllly ate at me the rest of the first half....for good reason, because it may have been the difference in the game....

lollygagger8 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 We threw on 3rd and short multiple times yesterday. If you can't get a couple yards in a power run formation why are we even here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shepman Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Actually these are the perfect time for play action catching the defense totally off guard expecting a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk4 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Pat woulda made itIt's fair to speculate at this point there are some people on this forum who do not think before they post. As bad as our oline is right now and as much as Luck was muddled in the pocket.. If vinny makes that opening game field goal we are in position to win with another field goal at the end. Trust me im not happy with the loss but im okay.. Sometimes the ball bounces the others team way or in this case off the upright And let me guess if Vinny made the field goal the game from that point on would have played out the exact same (up until 4th & 10)? If he made the field goal you don't know jack about what would've happened the rest of the game. None of us know and never will know. Just let the sleeping dog lie people...
