He didn't have faith that jennings could throw a pass away or into the end zone with no timeouts.

Because no timeouts and you gonna trust Jennings to throw it? Damn sure aren't going to run it.

I questioned that call as well and ultimately attribute it to no confidence that Jennings would not throw an interception, which actually is pretty damn likely to happen given his track record.

He thinks allowing a QB to develop is pointless

An alley oop to Malachi in the corner is fine. I doubt that's picked off. Just stupid to me to kick a FG with that much time left.

I don't think they were as worried about him throwing a pick, honestly. Giving up a sack was more likely - which would have rendered a FG attempt impossible.

Listening to two different post game shows last night and the consensus was that he had little confidence in Jennings not avaoiding a sack or not throuwing the ball away and losing a shot at the 3 pts. Again , I feel your frustration and just relaying what Tommy Kryson, Buddy Songy, Alan Risher and Chareles Hanagriff were saying.

No timeouts. Not confident in Jennings.

Take the 3 and get the ball after half.

That possession was a gift. Don't get greedy.

Smart call.

Watch I'll the end. See when Jennings takes a sack on 3rd down before the last field goal miss?



There is your answer

Well, if this guy is gonna be the starter next season and you have no faith him. Then it'll be more of the same shite next season. They have to get this guy going passing wise and that is not gonna happen in a run dominant offense. If you have no faith in this kid then frickin start playin Harris. Should have played tonite.

Miles is a stubborn idiot. It took tons of fans ragging on him to make a permanent change with Beckwith over Welter. And look at the difference!

Retarded is you asking why you take the points to go up by two scores at that point when we have no timeouts.

Thing is, if we run a pass play and take a sack or throw an interception or don't get into the end zone, a D-bag just like you would be here bitching over not kicking a field goal.

But it's a retard question to begin with, troll!

This, but that won't stop people from criticizing any decision Miles makes. It was the right call with no timeouts and a QB that takes the occasional sack.

Miles has no confidence in the passing game, and we couldn't run with no time outs.
