Herm chose to get shut out.
 

4th and inches in the red zone, down 34-0 with 40 seconds left in the gameand Herm goes for it? What was the point? Were we going to get the ball back and score 4 more touchdowns in the last 40 seconds? Why in the world didn't we go for the field goal and at least avoid the shutout? Can anyone explain that to me? It's like we are still playing preseason where the score doesn't matter.

I guess Herm just wanted to start his next 12 game losing streak by being shut out.

I think he was punishing his players. Let them all share in that embarrassment.

Who the hell kicks the field goal there? The icon on this thread should be a vagina.

actually i think most coaches go for the 1st/touchdown



going to keep the drive alive allows them to pretend to still be trying to win the game.

kicking the field goal admits that they were just trying to avoid being embarrassed.




that said the 4th down play call just sucked

4th down and all you got is a simple off tackle run that hasn't worked all game?!? :shake:

I am actually kind of glad they did. I want Herm the **** out of here.

Um, coaches who don't wish to be shut out.

What? There were like 40 seconds left in the 4th quarter down 34-0. Who were they fooling?

Probably would have missed it anyway.

i know, i know but they all do it


it's the macho ... never quit not matter what stuff.

Herm is a dumb ass

If the kicker doesn't kick, the kicker doesn't miss and thus doesn't need replaced during the bye.

no one kicks a field goal there

is this a real thread?

Down by 34? Hell yes you play for a touchdown. Screw a field goal just to avoid a shutout. Thats chickenshit.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

The problem I have with that 4th and 1, was how they lined up. I'm like, the previous playcalls, they were in shotgun formation, and that gives you a better chance to succeed at a 4th and 1 than doing the butt-sex running up behind the guard's ass.
