watching the game on TV i didn't realy have a problem with the call, of course I'm from the school that says should almost always go for it on 4th down less than 7 or 8. You make some good points and it mihgt have been a bad call.


Remember, I'm also in the camp that says that coaches should go for it more on 4th down, and I still defend Belichick's decision against Indy.

But this one was bad.

Mike Smith is a very good coach who has made a few bad decisions.

Belichick vs Indy was absolutely the right call. Smith was certainly more questionable especially in the full context, which i never really looked at. I may just default to defending coaches that go for it when people rip them after the fact. Also the play that was called could be really bad, undermining the decision to go for it.

all coaches make a few bad decisions of course. Besides Belichick, the Harbaughs and Payton, there aren't many guys I put over Smith.
