Bend don't break is great for keeping you in games. It helps you demolish lesser teams. It gives you a chance against better teams. However, when there's a three point or less difference in the game, and the other team has the ball late and is driving, bend don't break drives me insane.

There is alao field position to consider.  A 3 and out from the 20 is a lot better than a punt from the 50 where these guys drop it inside the 10 with regularity.
