[QUOTE="Royal Pain, post: 526276, member: 9065"] Sounds like McCarthy at least considered the option: [url]http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/233359161.html[/url] [B]Green Bay -[/B] Facing a third and goal from the 2-yard line on the Packers' first drive of overtime in Sunday's 26-26 tie with Minnesota, coach[B] Mike McCarthy[/B] did consider using all four downs for the win. In the league's new format, a touchdown on the first possession ends the game. Kick a field goal and the other team has a chance to match. On Monday, McCarthy said he considered running the ball on back-to-back plays on third and fourth downs. Instead, he had [B]Matt Flynn[/B] throw a fade route to [B]Jordy Nelson[/B] that fell incomplete and [B]Mason Crosby[/B] kicked the chip-shot field goal. "I thought about running it on third and fourth down ... based on where the ball was," McCarthy said. "I thought the first two runs were pretty clean. I thought in the game, watching it live, we had a chance to get both of those. But also what you do is when you get in those type of situations you have to ultimately attack the end zone. That’s why we did what we did on third down. "But yeah, I was considering a four-down run mindset at that point because I felt our run blocking unit and I thought Eddie was doing a heck of a job. I definitely thought about putting the ball in his hands.” I'm not confident in this teams ability to convert a 4th and short. Our short yardage blocking has not been very good lately. [/QUOTE]
