If we don't get the first down we are still only 0-1 down instead of 3-1 up. Sorry, but not that monumental difference that point in the game. But a first touchdown and with it the momemtum?...priceless.sj-roc wrote:seamack3 wrote:
No need to gamble at his stage. Take the pointsI agreed with the FG decision at the time. Not a lot of urgency to get a major at that early juncture, just get the lead and maybe some confidence.Stupid, stupid decision by Tedford then... no need to gamble? 3rd & 1 inside the ten! Go for the major instead of gambling for a field goal and giving the Stamps field position on the 35 if successful. Wow, Lions lead 3-1... like we knew that score and anemic display of aggression would hold up for the duration of the game. Turning point IMO, and Tedford should be fired.
Besides, if we don't get the first down, and recall that teams have been relatively poor across the board at converting 3rd and short this year, remember it was a subsequent turnover soon thereafter that shifted the momentum more or less permanently in this game.
We'll agree to disagree. The risk simply wasn't worth the reward when you're as big an underdog as we are in this one. The view was expressed here even before the game that we would need to play error-free football to have any chance at winning this one. Gambling in that scenario invites error. If I'm not mistaken we have the worst 3rd & 1 conversion efficiency in the league.bigtooth wrote:If we don't get the first down we are still only 0-1 down instead of 3-1 up.

Feel sorry for Benny. Bueno mesmerized by some American hasbeen. Benny at least had some history with the organization and team players. He was cursed with bad injuries (Harris, Lulay).
I hope the tedford gets another chance and the ability to hire his own assistants.

Sooner this is over the better then Tedford can begin the assessment, next season will be better, I'm a Lions fan win or lose, I renewed my seasons tickets last month, why all the negativity?
