    Atlanta goes 4th and inches on Own 29 in OT...

    Has to be one of the top 5 boneheaded moves that I've ever seen. Even if you get the 1st down, you're on your own 30 yard line. You don't make it and the game is possibly over.


    What a ridiculous call. The coach should be given a warning by the higher ups that his job is in jeopardy. I believe Atlanta was 5-3. Big difference going to 5-4 and possibly being 6-3. Just AWFUL

    right up there with hoodie's decision to go for it on his own 29 vs. colts.

    Brees would have driven down to win it if they punted

    Where they screwed up was running a bland rb dive from the I that took 3 seconds to develop

    QB push on 4th and inches every damn time

    Going for it was not the problem.

    The uncreative play call was the issue.

    going for it was the problem. most likely a punt pushes n.o. back to their own 20. they would need 50 yards to be in fg range. he figured his defense couldnt stop brees again out of a hunch he had. its like winning 5 hands of blackjack, doesnt mean you wont win a 6th. he got scared and should be fired
