November 16, 200916 yr Merril Hoge just said it was the right call. So every expert/ex player doesn't think it's dumb. I've just pointed out two. They have converted over 70% of 4th and 2 or less since 2001. The Colts have given up more than 68% on 4th and 2 or less. Now that everyone is done screaming that was so dumb they are understanding it was a good call.

November 17, 200916 yr Author Merril Hoge just said it was the right call. So every expert/ex player doesn't think it's dumb. I've just pointed out two.

Now that everyone is done screaming that was so dumb they are understanding it was a good call. Every expert I have heard... didn't see what Hoge had to say. I laugh that you bring Marvin into it because you always try to find a way to say something bad about the Bengals. Who was the one who said the Bengals would lose their next four games after the loss to Houston? :sssh:
November 17, 200916 yr Every expert I have heard... didn't see what Hoge had to say. I laugh that you bring Marvin into it because you always try to find a way to say something bad about the Bengals. Who was the one who said the Bengals would lose their next four games after the loss to Houston? :sssh: I just checked the thread and I didn't see where I said they WOULD lose the next 4 games. I said I'd be surprised if they went better than 1-2 in the next 3. They went 3-0. What does that have to do w/ the decision by a coach far better than most other coaches going for it on 4th and 2? Should I go back and check all of your predictions that were wrong and bring them up. All I was pointing out w/ Marvin was he had some questionable decisions and they still won. Bellicheck had a questionable decision and lost. Some people are calling it dumb or the dumbest decision ever. The data shows the decision gave them the best chance to win the game. Yet you and others don't want to admit you were wrong.
November 17, 200916 yr They all picked the Steelers this weekend too. Correct all of the experts can be wrong some times. Most of the "experts" are players that never coached or coaches who were fired. The coach who made this call is better than any experts. There is data that supports his decision but "talking heads" disagree w/ it.

Some people are calling it dumb or the dumbest decision ever. The data shows the decision gave them the best chance to win the game. Yet you and others don't want to admit you were wrong. The Marvin decisions and this one aren't even in the same ballpark as far as out important it was to the outcome of the game. Stats? I want to see how many times teams have gone for it deep in their own end with the lead late in the fourth. Look up those stats for me :thumb: Me and others don't want to admit we were wrong? I'm sorry, but I think you are in the minority on this one. Let's leave it at this, we obviously aren't going to agree.
November 17, 200916 yr I guess I will take the opinion of Harrison and Teddy B in this case. That's fine. I'll go w/ the guy that has won the rings as the coach.

I'm sorry, but I think you are in the minority on this one. Let's leave it at this, we obviously aren't going to agree. Could they not have been? That is my point. All I know is the stats say they had a better chance to win the game going for it and that's what the coach decided to do. Was it questionable? Yes. Was it dumb? No That's also fine. Just b/c I'm in the minority it doesn't mean the majority is right.
November 17, 200916 yr Author That's fine. I'll go w/ the guy that has won the rings as the coach. And cost them the game :thumb:
November 17, 200916 yr Author SSC this is the exact quote after the Texans game... Could it be they are who we thought they were? They will not win for another month at least. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You really tried to dance around that?
November 17, 200916 yr I'm sorry but I don't care who the coach or QB is, you have to punt it and take your chances of them driving the field, period.

November 17, 200916 yr SSC this is the exact quote after the Texans game... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: You really tried to dance around that? Was there not a bye during the next month? I thought they could beat Chicago, but they'd lose to Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I was glad to be wrong.
