A 63 yard FG against the wind has no chance. We have a 1% chance to win by throwing the bomb, maybe .05% chance doing the hook and ladder. Maybe a .03% chance to throw a quick 10 yard out an try a FG.

Kicking a 63 yard FG has no chance. It would have required divine intervention. We could have made it easier on the almighty by trying anything else.

Miles had to have thought it was 53 yards. That is all I can imagine. If he knew it was 63 yards in the wind he will not last.

I have never ever said anything negative about Miles before this thread.

IT was maybe the dumbest call I've ever seen Miles make, and he's called fake punts out of his endzone before.

It was bad. You've got tall receivers and a QB with a huge arm..you have a better shot getting it in the endzone than making that field goal.

I agree - I would have rather he send Jefferson out to take a knee to end the game than put Colt David out there to try an impossible FG.

Only chance from that shitty situation was to hope for an interference penalty on a pass downfield.

The reason for getting into that shitty situation is another topic. Worst series of the year.
