I stated several times already, I agreed with the call...I honestly belive he let the players decide what they wanted to do. He had all of the captains in the huddle. The last game of the year, with the coach on the way out? Yeah...that is an acceptable call.

STOP putting words in people's mouth Stallion. When did i say go for it bc the defense is tired?


Firephil...you should know by now, that once Stallion says it, it is the truth.

The problem is that we should have done it on the previous possession. You do NOT go for the TD when they have another possession to follow. If you want one play to win, take it. But not in that situation.

I'm okay with the decision to go for it, not with the play call. Did Willis call the play to put the ball in his hands?

This poor decision is not acceptible. These are the decisions he continuously made throughout his tenure here. His job was to coach this team until the last second ticked off the clock and he put the keys to the bus in the hands of the second graders. Typical :?

I would have liked to see something a little more like that as well, BUT, we haven't seen anything that imaginative from Rusty Burns yet.
