Why not kick FG on 4th down in 4th quarter?

We went for it on 4th and 3, burned a timeout, didn't get it. Lost by 3.

I thought that at the time myself. I guess the option was a better call.

I don’t get it, either....

We needed any points we could get. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 3-point game lost in so many separate ways.

I was thinking the same thing.

Sucks

That's Mullen, and he's our idiot.

You would’ve been leading the charge 3 points does no good there.

The real question is why we didn't run on third and three?

 

[ALdawg.sixpack]

It was a 3 score game down 18 points. 3 points does a ton of good there--makes it a 2 score game. Never know how that changes how everything else plays out, but you tack on 3 to our total and it makes a huge difference.

Same here.

You don’t take a field goal down 18 with 5 minutes in the game. That would be crazy stupid next level dumb. You’d be giving up the game.

The only reason we got back in it was because Luke is a moron and is throwing the ball on the next possession.

This might be downvoted quite a bit, but the truth is, despite all of the really great things Mullen has done for us, there is a reason he is still here after 8 full seasons going on 9. I hope he is our coach next year, but this type of feeling is the trade off you get with the good feelings.

Thank you
