I said the exact same thing in another thread.

If all those plays work, he's a genius.

The 4th and 12 fake FG was terrible, agreed. I loved going for the 4th and 1, just hated the call to Ware.

I had zero problems with running 3 times and kicking a FG late. If we make that, with the way our D played up to that point, i was completely ok with playing out like that. I didn't like the chances of throwing an incomplete pass and giving them 40 extra seconds with the time running out.

The onside kick was fine, we obviously saw something in their return team that gave us the advantage, and we had that easily if Hairston doesn't get the bad bounce and touch it 1 yard early.

All in all, it definitely wasn't the best set of decisions, but we've cried about being too conservative for years, now we're gonna cry about taking risks.

It's not as bad as folks are making it out to be.

the fake FG would still be a stupid playcall. it always has been a stupid playcall, and always will be

our stupid fake punt against ASU in 2005 was the same thing (even though that wasn't miles' call. it's just an example of a stupid call that worked)

the choice to go for it was smart. the play was horrible. i made a thread specifically on that one play, b/c it literally would take a miracle to work in that situation

if miles thinks that his lack of aggression is due to THOSE sorts of decisions, then we're fricked

our overall gameplan is conservative. a few 4th down calls doesn't change the other 120 conservative plays
