Johnny Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 forgive if this has already been discussed................Holcomb starting and the reason is more injury than anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 If Mularkey says he's hurt, I believe him- he has nothing to gain by starting Holcomb otherwise. Is Holcomb magically going to become Joe Montana with Vick's legs and Elway's arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnykterstein Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Why else would you go for a field goal late in a game you are getting crushed in. You are trying to make the numbers look good for when your coach review period comes up. MM is playing the "make it look good on paper" game. If Holcomb can score more points and make the numbers look better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnykterstein Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 we're 4-10....how many more points do we need? 539287[/snapback] Ok then try to explain this... 3rd quarter of NE vs Buffalo, we are losing 21-0. We get to the 32 yard line and then kick a field goal on 4th down. How is a field goal going to help this team? The 3rd quarter is half way over and we have been getting dominated all game. ... Mularky didn't want a shutout to be added to his resume. He's doing what helps him and not his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Because the most difficult points to score are always the first ones. It wasn't a poor decision. 539670[/snapback] Actually, given this team's success on their opening drives, the first points seem to be easiest for them. It's everything thereafter that's like pulling teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a bad decision to take the points. 539675[/snapback] you're absolutely right: the end of the second half 3 weeks ago -- the bills lead miami 21-0. miami decides to kick a fg to make it 21-3 just before the half, and the fans boo. it was obviously the right move, in retrospect.

thisiskeith12 Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 If you have the lead and you're losing momentum, you can still hold on to the lead by taking out the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
