I'm all about going for it on fourth down or throwing some trickfoolery in there. They scream about Tomlin being aggressive every week. I'm 100% behind him, you gotta play your odds, stick your neck out, nothing ventured nothing gained, all that stuff. Football requires balls.
There was no call for that play whatsoever. They didn't need it, it wasn't strategic, and all it could have done is served them up a loss.
Personally, I threw up, swore at the tv, and texted Stephen to make sure he hadn't run head-first through his tv.
I thought maybe they wanted to try out the play in a live situation to see if their gadgetry worked. That didn't even make sense. It tipped their hand to the whole league and now they can't possibly drag it out if they need it during their playoff run.
There's only one answer. Crack pipe.
(Really I think the coaching staff just got caught up thinking too hard and made a silly mistake. McCarthy probably can't come up with an answer, either. Someone should have jerked his headset off.)
