[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 641516, member: 1989"] I was not pleased with the exact play calls as they occurred, as described by Milani above. So, I was critical at the time, not as a 20/20 hindsight coach. Run, Run, Run, then attempt FGs if you don't get in with those first two series mentioned. No brainer. Passing into a crowded field just doesn't make sense given the circumstances. Just ask Russell Wilson about this. The last series with the blocked FG, I was shaking my head on that call, too. A block is a block-- could happen on either a punt or a FG attempt, though I am guessing that a punt is safer (no stats to back that up, though). However, punting and putting your opponent as far away from the end zone in a two score game with limited time remaining would be the conventional thinking, IMO. Miss that lower odds FG (more likely than a block), and the opposing team is already at mid field. Not a good situation. Luckily, it all worked out and, as Mike McCarthy would say, be happy with the 10 wins. Maybe I can learn more about why these plays were selected by reading the book, "[I]Green & Gold Memories - Growing up in Vince Lombardi's Green Bay[/I]", which I understand is available on Amazon. :D [/QUOTE]
