Last night was a huge lead with 2 minutes left. In that case, you run the f--n ball, force the other team to use their time outs and hopefully are able to run for a 1st down and close out the half.
In cases where there's 9 minutes left and we have a small lead and we run twice, throw a bad pass and punt is when I get ticked about letting the other team back in the game and not attacking. Completely different situation.
I can agree with most of your assessment.
However, I need to point out that without those 2 complete bullshit PI calls (both in the end zone no less) handed the Ratbirds 14 points they wouldn't have had. A field goal, maybe 2, doesn't get them back in the game...
The only thing I hate worse than Pittsburgh football...
