    Inside the 15 in the most congested part of the field. Utterly ridiculous.

      I’m fine with a rare fake FG at that position and that moment in the game.

        Relax guys. This game won't be won or lost by 3 points.

          We aren't good at scoring points.

          Put points on the board when you can.
          Drive down to the 10 and then stop
          running.. and follow all that up with a stupid fake FG

              I digress but I really hate the Canada offense. A prime example is after the two minute warning. You got a tired defense that’s getting gashed on the ground. Then we go completely off script.

              Do what is working!

                I think it was a stupid call.

                I think we need all the points we can get.

                My guess is that the argument for is something like "We aren't good at scoring points and our D probably isn't going to keep them without a TD today. So we need to try to score TDs in any way we can".

                There is probably also something they say in film that they thought they could exploit. But it didn't work. I'd imagine that TD passes from FG kickers are low percentage plays.

                Not advocating that position, but I think that could be the thinking.

                  And now we probably without a kicker for the rest of the game. A close game

                  you guys are right. Big time college programs wouldn’t want this idiot

                    Cannot wait till next year to watch Tomlin go 4-13 with Mason Rudolph. Won't matter though. It's impossible to fire him so it is what it is.

                      You take the points in a low scoring game.

                        It will be a long week on the board if it's lost by 3.

                        Who am I kidding...it's going to be a long week on the board anyway.

                          I see the Tomlin haters have crawled out of their holes.

                            That Canada offense is what was working.

                              I assume Harvin is the backup kicker?

                              Anyone remember Ray Mansfield kicking extra points when Gerela got hurt?

                                The Canada offense inside two minutes? Pass, pass, run? The run was working not the pass.
