The botched field goal debacle
If we were only down by 1 on that final drive you know we would have pussy footed around to set up a field goal that Henry would have missed.
Having to score a TD was the only way.
Thank Allah for that fake FG bullshit.

Interesting take, provocative.
Since each game is 33% of Jimmy's total body of work I was like, okay this guy is really a fucking idiot.
It was looking like we needed a program reset and DylMo was Ronnie Fouch.
But maybe the "aggressive in all three phases" is viable mindset? -

“In the huddle we all just looked at each other and we knew what we needed to do. It’s either score a touchdown and win the game. Or don’t and we lose the game. It’s crazy, football is so complicated but in that moment it was so simple. We just needed to execute, go down the field and score a touchdown and win the game.”

There was no other options available to fuck it up. -
Damnedest thing, I was just watching the YouTube of it and had the same thought on final drive.

I didn't see it as a terrible decision in the moment. If Utah had jumped, you get a first down. The difference between a 35 and a 40 yarder is negligible, not like 45 and 50. Henry should be automatic on anything inside 45, imho.

If that is really your plan then you call timeout right before the delay of game. Whatever “negligible” difference there is between a 35 and 40 yard fg is certainly greater than the value of one first half timeout.
