And when you say "sound coaching strategy," what it sounds like you mean is what you would have done. That's not necessarily sound coaching strategy. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the game of football, but I recognize that I do not know nearly as much as our current coaches. They are not perfect, and there are coaching issues, but it's hard for me to agree with a bunch of anonymous internet dudes over our coaching staff that, in this case, the clear choice was to go for it.
