So yea i hear you, the fact that he is taking such a hard stance on it now...is funny. Its a bad call, own it. Face the firing range aka the media and move on. In the future you punt that ball. Case clsoed! I would love to see the percentages of the succes rates of people going for it on 4th down from their own 30. Thing is, I dont think they have many stats on this matter cause nobody is that crazy enough to do it. lol!

Even if they made the first down, anyone who knows football would likely ask themselves 'what if that didn't work?'. So many different variables can happen that can kill a play, so that even if you have a solid play drawn up for that situation, it's successful completion is far from a guaranteed proposition. Nice work on this and the Bengals article, always enjoy reading both of your work. Gayle, there is a clear line between ‘aggressive’ and ‘insane’.
