Why does coaching get a pass?

I'm glad that you posted this. One thing that has been wearing me out, especially this season, is the notion that 2nd and short is a down to "take a shot"? I understand the rational, but I have watched it cost several teams wins this season.

I know that someone has brought this up (didn't read the entire thread). That late drive where Mixon went for 8 on first down and then we went deep twice. I was livid! We had plenty of time and timeouts. Ignorant, ignorant play calling.
