Here's a NFL football strategy that just took place. Your opinions? Conservative or ballzy approach?
Scenario:
1. A pretty decent running team on the road is winning the game 23 - 20.
2. There is 1:42 left in the game.
3. It's 4th down and 1 yd for the 1st down at the losing teams 21 yd line.
4. The losing team has no timeouts remaining.
What would you do?
Obviously, you know what I'd do because I play for the jugular and am not a conservative person.
I go for it on 4th and 1, stick it down their throats. Don't F around. You get the 1st down and the
game is over. 3 kneel downs and you fly back winners.
The conservative approach which I get from the responders ( different situation but parallels 9ers)
would kick the FG to go up by 6 and forcing the losing team to be down 26-20 and have
to drive the length of the field with no timeouts left.
The conservative person or coach would have fear that what if we don't make it and now we
leave them with only a 3 pt deficit and all they need is to kick a FG to tie and send it into OT.
Oh, no, I better kick the FG and play it safe.
What would you do?
Guess what happened?
