Might have changed the course of this game entirely. I hate saying what if but that still could be considered a questionable call even though it was the safe call.

It's not about going for it on 4th down, it's about the stupid playcalling leading up to that point. Run, run, run...dumb.

i thought we should go for it. i always think you should go for it on 4th an 1 from the 1. if you don't make it, you pin them on the goal line. the bills were put inside the 5 2 times and neither worked out. i really think that was the beginning of a shoddy game plan from the o.

it's worth the risk in my opinion....it's almost sort of like pussying out of a fight

I dont like the QB sneak. Marshawn has been great picking up 1-2 yards all season.

What I dont get is why did we put are speed back on 3rd and shorts. Marshawn is probably the best in the NFL at those plays and instead we put jackson in.

And last week in the Browns Redskins game...the Browns down by 11 with 5 minutes left went for it on 4th and goal at the one. Got stopped. Lost the game by 3. They kick the FG there, the game's going into OT.

Moral of the story? Take the points.

At the time that really hurt but we came back and were up 16-7 in the 3rd Q so I don't think going for it would have changed anything. We fell apart after having them right were we wanted them

Maybe they were trying to confuse Miami with it. I think having both backs on the field at the same time can do some damage.

Or how about the Giants going for it now 4th and goal on the 1 and getting stopped....to keep it a 7-3 Pittsburgh game.

Take the points.

What if Lynch was running the ball on the goal line instead of Jackson?

Had we gotten a first down on that 3rd and 1 fumble I think we win that game. 1 play can turn things big time. Our offense was moving down the field easily in the second half. Too bad we couldnt keep the ball.
