We're talking less than 10 yards difference, and Bass has proven that he has more than enough leg to make that kick. I absolutely agree with you. He does have enough leg to make that kick. But at 60 it’s a calculated risk. Not a gimme by far. I would have been fine with giving it a try. But I do think McD wasn’t scared. He went in the other direction and I think it was a good call given the specifics I mentioned like our worn out defense. Context is just about everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used the term scared, I just wanted McD to be more aggressive here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be me. When I hear “scared“ it makes me think he’s pooping his pants on the sideline. I really like your clarification and I thank you.

He also wasted multiple timeouts on defense Oline was getting steamrolled…I wouldn’t have felt very comfortable in a 4th and short situation either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
