Why would he have Love come out throwing three consecutive plays with 10 minutes left in the 4th and leading 20-6? Why would he call up a deep shot to Wicks on 3rd and 9 when you're up 23-6 with 6 minutes left? Why would he have Willis pass it on 2nd and 8 with 2 minutes left in the game?The simple answer is that Matt understands sometimes you need to take those risks. It's better to move the chains - take matters into your own hands and dictate how the game is going to end - rather than play passive and reactionary football. And we can't have it both ways here.If I say "Matt's playing too risk-averse here, he needs to be a little less conservative" and the rebuttal is "He's protecting his players and not exposing them to any unnecessary risks, he's just doing what is required to get the win and get out of there" then that's fine, but I expect those offering that rebuttal to be consistent and criticize Matt for the above-outlined plays in which he ALSO exposed those players to "unnecessary risk" when the game was all but wrapped up.</blockquote>
