How'd that work out for them?
That's another story.
I mean, are you trying to win or are you trying to be ballsy?
Mike McDaniel wants to show he's got balls the size of grapefruits.
No, he's trying to win the game.
On fourth and a long two.
No, he's trying to win the game.
He's trying to win the game.
Well, and also give me what the trend is, which is that he's only the second guy in 25 years to take that risk, that unnecessary risk.
What I agree with is that fourth and two means go for it most of the time, situationally, most of the time.
If my own team, it's the middle of the second quarter, my team is fourth and two from its own 42, I'm like, yeah, go for it.
In this case, you take the three-point lead, and here's why.
I don't know if you guys have noticed, Miami's defense has been pretty good the last three or four games, pretty damn good, as it was in Madrid.
If you're Mike McDaniel, you give your team a 16-13 lead, less than two minutes left, other team has no timeouts, and you trust your defense to not let them drive 70, 60 yards for a tying field goal.
I trust my defense.
It's not 60 yards.
It's 20 yards.
Why would you trust that defense?
The Dolphins' defense has been pretty good the last few games.
You would agree that the Dolphins got lucky with that pick on the first play of overtime?
