[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1080619, member: 17987"] For me it's not really about style points but rather understanding that there will likely come a point when we NEED those opportunities to turn into 6 points, not 3. There will come a time when we NEED to move the chains and advance the ball rather than burn off the clock. In this particular match, no, we didn't necessarily *need* to put those extra points on the board or keep moving the chains. But would it not have been beneficial to practice/approach the situation as though we did? It seems like there is this belief amongst some that once we find ourselves in a situation where we NEED those extra points, we'll just be able to "flip the switch" and all of these field goal situations will turn into touchdowns for us. The series where we're 3 yards and a cloud of dust, we'll be able to just decide we're a passing team and start slinging the ball around effortlessly. In reality, I don't think it is nearly so easy to flip that switch as we might like to believe. If you repeatedly find yourself in these situations and continue to play for field goals and 3rd downs, then when it's crunch time in a do-or-die game, what are you going to default to? I just don't agree with the philosophy that you can "afford" to pass up those opportunities now - when you have the choice - and then be able to execute consistently in those situations when you're in a situation where you *have* to - when that choice is removed. As they say, you are what you repeatedly do... [/QUOTE]
