re: Playing not to lose

Broncos pulled an LSU and it cost them dearly just like it did the Tigers. Never have agreed with the "safe" play calling rationale/philosophy. If you have a chance to win you take it right then and there. Otherwise... I admit Mett is certainly no Peyton Manning but hell the Denver coach didn't even let a hall of fame QB throw the ball to win the game in the last 2 minutes. On the other side of the argument a great coach (like Harbaugh for San Francisco) just let the other team lose the game themselves by jumping offsides when they lined up on 4th down and appeared to get ready to run/pass the ball late in the game. Who knows what might have happened had Miles lined up on 4th down late with an appearance to run the ball for 1st down against 'Bama in the hopes of drawing them offsides..... or maybe just run the damn ball or pass and get the 1st down...... Still bothers me that we didn't try to bury 'Bama right then and there. Sorry for reminiscing......

Aren't you one of the same guys that was bitching out Miles for passing in the same situation against Clemson? I can never understand how people who have such little football acumen feel compelled to question every little decision a coach makes after a loss....idiots!
