So now you blame Aarron Glenn for the lost.
certainly had more of a chance that they did their last championship game.
Eastern Queer it is then.
I totally disagree. Those of us who watch a ton of football (and I'm assuming that's pretty much everyone on this board) make a decision in our own mind abut whether we think it's the right or wrong call before the ball is even snapped. So I don't think people are saying it was dumb because it failed, they are saying it was a bad decision because when he made the decision and before the play was even run it was immediately and obviously stupid. Now if someone felt it wasn't a bad decision until after the play was over and then criticized it I agree with you, but that's disingenuous and not what I think happened here. There are always people who accuse others of second guessing, but to me that's just because it's the only way they can defend their thoughts that it wasn't a stupid decision, because it sure as hell was x 2. And I won't even get into how stupid it was to run the ball at the goal line on the last drive and basically end the game whether you score or not, because with the new onside kick rules it's almost impossible to recover one.
I tend to agree. If Campbell had gone for FGs both those times and he only made one of them and they still lost, Campbell would be criticized today for not being "true to himself" or not riding the horse that got him there.
No, what game were you watching?
That is just it. He needs to improve. He is great at some things but sometimes has no common sense.
I think that’s pretty typical of a head coach in his first few seasons as a head coach.
Agree. If you kept reading you would have seen that we went through this. It was just a typo. 14 was the number. I did said 3 scores though. It was an easy decision and Campbell messed it up.No, what game were you watching?
They were up 14 which is a huge part of why it was such a horrible decision. To go up 3 scores at that point of the game would have been huge. Instead they stayed up two scores and let the momentum swing towards a team that hadn't had it all day. If they were up 10 and a FG would have still kept it a 2 score game I could see it a little more. But even with 2 TDs and 2 two point conversion you are still down if you kick a FG there. It's not just saying going for it is dumb, it's saying going for it in that specific circumstance is dumb which is why the comments that "he always does it" are off base and not applicable. Every situation is different. I love Campbell and would take him as my team's HC in a second, but that doesn't mean these specific decision weren't moronic.
Anyone calling for his head is crazy. I could see him lessening his Wild West mentality with 4th downs in the future, but it does make it difficult to defend this offense.
Said this earlier, they weren't the same decision to make...going for it up 14 to put the game away isn't the worst idea, no problem with that one. Not taking points to literally tie the game in the 4th quarter is really stupid.
