Criticism… not hate on 4th down decision

Now for some thoughts about the 4th down call…

1. Metrics might approve, but it didn’t pass a simple sniff test given how well we had played to that point
2. The actual play call was not great…
3. Mixon is not a power up the middle runner… Perine might have been the better call

So my gut instinct is… I hated it

I can only hope that this will be a learning moment for our coach and quarterback. The coach should know better!

I didn’t care for it but the only reason why it wasn’t successful was because Mixon slipped. Just think how many times teams tried is like that and succeeded. They were never questioned by their own fan bases even if they didn’t make the conversion. I guess Zach was trying to make a statement that we aren’t going to continue to be the victim but the aggressor.
