I don't see how that was calculated at all....it wasn't 4th down it was THIRD DOWN. At least TRY to get 7 yards when you have one of the league's best QB's and you win the game and move on to the AFC Championship game. What makes matters even worse they even called a TO after they ran it instead of letting the clock run. Didn't matter anyway because of how quick BAL was able to score and tie the game....but by no means was that a calculated decision. You go for the 1st down on 3rd down n 7....always....always.....always. Only time I see where it's probably not a good idea is if you're backed up on your own 2-3yd line or something. Even then I'd still think I'd try to get the first down on 3rd n 7, instead of essentially giving the ball back on 3rd down...That was a horribly wasted play to run it there...stupid ass decision.
Remember when the Chiefs could have tied or won the game in the recent weeks, but we ran the ball w/ Hillis on 3rd n 7 and then had to punt becuase he got like a yard or 2? Same deal......that was a dumber than shit decision by RAC and Daboll.
