"You play to win the game." - Herm Edwards
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.
