That decision would've been stupid if we were down two. It's unfathomable down three

It's just like the late nineties having a terrible record in close games because the otherwise good coach gags during the games

Well at least we weren’t down 4…. just saying.

Too many football coaches, and especially Dino, don't follow this simple model.

A lot of fans back it up too. It's because these men are cowards Donnie. They're afraid to go for the win and possibly lose right there. That is playing scared and has no business in a tough game like football. But the truth is these people aren't tough at all. They're mentally weak. Every punt or FG on 4th and short lets the entire world know what a giant loser they are at their core.
 
I just don’t understand placing the teams fate on the foot of Smzyt as opposed to Tucker.
The team needed a W. We had a chance to score 7 and get the win.
