On The Play That Hill Fumbled......

If Gio was available then this would be worth a discussion, but he wasn't so the ball should have and did go to hill.
You are saying we should have taken the ball out of the hands of a starting player with hundreds of snaps under his belt to give it to a career special teams player.

Let's say the team was in the opposite situation needing to pick up a 4th and long in the playoffs to win and aj green is out, jones/sanu covered. Eifert gets open and McCarron's pass hits him right in the hands but he drops it. Should we have taken eifert out before the play for Tate or Alford? No that's ridiculous tate sucks and had like 5 catches all year, Alford had 1. They could just as easily drop it coming off the bench cold.
