not going for it down 20 was both stupid and a surrender.
It made a 3 score game a 3 score game
it accomplished nothing.
worst case Pats take over at their 1 and Pitt probably get another shot at scoring.
but he rolled over there telling his team and the world "we can't make 1 yard".
he was probably right but it was a real bad look.
I suspect he'll get killed for that decision
Not a big Tomlin guy but I will disagree
3+7+3+7 = 20
Mike was trusting his defense. If he was wrong even the 7 would not have mattered
By kicking the FG he was tellling his offense "we cant get 1 yard"
By kicking a FG he was telling his defense, "I don't trust you to stop the Pats from their own 1 and get us the ball back"
By kicking a FG down 20-0, he kept a 3 score game a 3 score game (20-3=17 =3 scores)
he accomplished nothing except avoiding a shutout.
it was a poor decision.
7-7 in my ATS pool
got burned by backdoor with Philly and late meltdowns Jets, Lions.
didn't play any parlays for a hundy
good thing as week 1 is always bitch
How did your 4-team parlay for a hundy turn out kid, I missed your accounting for that?
heh
