"The chart says go for it" on 4th & 8 up 9 w/ under 1:30 to go at the FSU 23?

[CreativeCane]

Single worst game management coach I’ve seen. Literally puts the cuffs on Beck all quarter then when he should kick a FG to ice it, passes

Let me introduce you to Billy Napier. Dude literally called timeout to avoid a 10 second runoff when they were trying to run out the clock.

No. 12 points means they have flexibility in how they get those two possessions. As you saw when they kicked the FG to try and get the ball back for a second possession to win with a TD. If it's a 12 point game, FSU is forced to take up more clock trying for a TD on that drive. And if they fail, you never have to worry about the onside.

And welcome to posting.

That would be the conservative call, 2TDs vs FG & TD. I actually liked the go for the kill mentality in a quarter that had nothing going for us. He took a chance to kill the game and was a good playcall. FSU defender just got loose. We make it and this discussion never happens. And thank you but will go back to lurking for the next decade.

Kick the FG and this discussion never happens (and the margin of victory is likely greater).

Hindsight is always 20/20 but I had no idea why they didn’t kick there. I still have no idea what they were thinking

Really? Then we need a new chart. Kick the 40 yard FG so they can't win with a fg and a td.

It was a Dennys menu.

Mario used the “3am, closing time, last woman standing at the bar” chart at all times.

There must be some distrust in the FG operation from the ND botch. All I can think of that would make a coach not take the 3.

Coaches "consulting the chart" is the the same as young people depending on AI to do everything.

It replaces critical thinking and existing in reality.

 

[Canedude08]

Any play call other than a FG is dumb.

Actually not, getting a first down there ends it, and the playcall was there to be had.

 

[TRick72]

It was a Dennys menu.

Which was super confusing to him as he was sitting in a Waffle House

No D used to have five of them clipped to his belt.

That's not accounting for the clock or score

The decision was fine. Kicking a fg turns a 2 td game into a 2 td game, and doesn't really change much with their field position. Getting the 1st down guaratnees a win. Failing means you have to fail to recover the onside kick either way.

Mario tried to call a timeout. Dawson was shown on the broadcast saying “my bad.” I’m a Dawson stan, but that’s on him. Bonehead move.

 

[CanesAreAble]

Didn't have a huge problem with it. If you convert, the game is over right then and there. If you don't, it's still a two-possession game, and a lot has to go wrong to lose.

Both decisions are defensible.

We have been horrendous for 20 years and we might have a national championship roster.

Some of yall need professional help.

 

[RF-4CCane]

Remember when HC’s used to somehow know when to punt, kick a FG or go for it, based on game situation, gut instinct and knowledge, rather than a dumb chart that takes nothing but probability in a vacuum into the equation?

We won the game. WTF are you complaining about?

Some of us have been waiting 20 years for this team to be this team. You can try being happy about us being 5-0, beating Notre Dame, Florida, FSU and being in pole position for an ACCCG and playoff spot.

Or you can just act like a ***** on the night of our victory.

THIS THIS THIS.

A lot of people complaining right now HAVE BEEN POSTING HERE FOR THAT WHOLE PERIOD OF TIME.

Like guys.... you know **** well that beating FSU is not a given year in and year out. Some years we get them. Some years, they get us.

They had Jimbo Fisher on before the game. The same people complaining now were on this board when Dalvin Cook was carving us up and ole crab legs was winning a natty for FSU.

For the life of me, I can't understand how you can not just look at the big picture and BE ******* HAPPY WE WON.

Like just think back for a second where this program was, and now look at where it is. Look at what we just ******* did, and APPRECIATE IT.

It won't last forever. Enjoy it.
