I want to finish them after breaking their heart by throwing to Cole Komet from 50 yards away.
I think that's exactly right, Dan.
If you can sum in what do they not want us to do more, that's what we should do, first of all.
But more broadly, in the QB league, and if you're in a big-time playoff game, you probably have a high-end QB.
Do you think he's the best player on the field?
Certainly, Ben Johnson took the job with the Bears because that's how much he thought of Caleb Williams.
He thinks Caleb Williams is the best player on the field.
So which is more likely?
that you're going to make two and a half yards with that stud qb or you're going to win the coin flip but then you're going to make the right choice when you get when you win that coin flip but if you don't win it then you have to hope they don't score so that you don't have pressure on you but then you have to get the ball then you have to at least match what they did again all these the sequence of events and by the way it was snowy out and windy out and it's not a gimme to make the extra point so that also should have been a factor in the in what ben johnson did i believed
that ben johnson if he had gone for two there would have immediately supplanted mike ditka as the most popular coach in the history of bears football if he had gone for two and gotten it boy oh boy dan how about the completion of that football circle 43 years old that tom osborne had the balls to go for it it didn't work out for him but but my esteem for him is a man tony through the roof tony's shaking his head no at all of this commentary uh tony is pro cowardice tony what do you have
No, it's not that I'm pro-coward.
It's just, yeah, playing the result.
Man, he should have gone for two after an incredible play, one of the most amazing plays we've ever seen in the NFL.
But they also, you forget, they were down.
They had four downs to get a touchdown in the drive prior, ran three times, okay, and then threw a terrible pass between two people.
So it's like it's tough.
Don't run the ball unless it's with your superhero quarterback.
Boot him out and put pressure on the defense.
Two and a half yards is what you need.
Glory.
