It's easy to second guess now, but when the play unfolded, I was (unhappily) shocked they were throwing. The odds favor keeping the clock moving at that point, and Tyrod wasn't inspiring any confidence throughout the game (or his career really) that he could make a clutch play there. But it was a well designed play for that situation if they were going to pass, so even though they didn't make it, it was a sensible play design.
I was also shocked when Rex had Carp kick that long FG. Couldn't believe he had confidence in him and he nailed it. Good for him.
I am glad to see more aggressive calls and if they continue (or start) to have success, confidence will snowball through the rest of this year's schedule. They are going to have to play to win the next 6 weeks.
