No. I think we had to go for it and we were really struggling. I give props to Zac for reading the game that way and taking the shot. But having said that I think that's a play that gets bailed out by the talent. Burrow makes an accurate throw and Chase just goes up and gets it ( add in bad defense by the 2 defenders right there). I also think it makes the end of the game even more frustrating. Taylor's knows we're struggling and has to put it all on the line to pick up a 4th and 6. But then at the end of the game deep in our own territory he's gonna take a timeout after a 2yd gain. If one of two things are happening there I am fine with a time out.
A. We just picked up a first down.
B. We had been moving the ball at ease the last few drives.
Neither of those things were or had happened. Calling the timeout was a terrible decision and one I called out in the GameDay thread when it happened.
I think people are getting confused. I don't think anyone is saying fire anyone. All I'm hearing if anything is we need to bring in a new playcaller.
