YOOOOOO Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 4th and goal at the 1....crucial part of the game...and once again Clement refuses to put the ball in the hands of our impact players..... NO WAY should Shelton be getting the call at such a crucial down/play in the game... You live and die with Mcgahee.... It sucks coming away from the game and saying what if Mcgahee got the call on that play....
respk Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 I agree with you on this one. That has to be one of the dumbest calls of all time. A pass to an eligible OL would have been better. And obviously the best play would have been McGahee off tackle. If you can't get one yard when you have to, you have very little chance of winning.
nick in* england Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 It worked earlier in the season... but we shoulda kicked the ball for the figgie. Kick early, go for it late. It was a gutsy call that didn't need to be made with over half of the game remaining.

Hell, put Losman in there and roll the pocket out and give him the choice of running or throwing it. A mobile QB at the goal line is one of the toughest things to defend.
BuffOrange Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 As much as McGahee was getting stuffed and as poorly as our defense was playing, I was surprised they didn't just put 3 on the board there, but we got the points back on the next possession with the good field position. In the grand scheme of things that play wasn't all that significant.

The Poojer Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 also this may be a stupid question, but after the 1st play from scrimmage of the game, why did WM come out of the game????

The Poojer Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 i just didn't understand the need for him to come out after the first play, unless of course it was equipment related his bridle needed trimming 484860[/snapback]

You put the ball in Mcgahee's hands and if he doesnt make it, atleast we say we failed with our best playmaker.....not saying damn we failed with shelton...WTF!!!!!
