I dont care if he makes this conversion or not. |

#6 Posted: 11/7/2009 6:17:59 PM You dont only kick it because Bama could get 2 FGs and win -
BUT IF YOU KICK ANOTHER FG YOU ARE UP BY 9 INSTEAD OF 8!!
Just so fucking stupid. |

It really is amazing that millions of Madden players know how to better manage the clock and score than many of these high-profile, big $ coaches |

#10 Posted: 11/7/2009 6:25:38 PM like clock management, the decision to go for 2 is another area where many coaches are exposed as morons. miles is right up there. |

Going for 2 in that situation is such a losers mentality.
Sounds like you are gutsy, but really you are saying "Im not going to score the rest of the game..." - because if you thought you were going to score again - any points - you dont go for 2 there.
18 minutes left in the game is a lot different than 4 or 5. |

#14 Posted: 11/7/2009 6:29:43 PM And there is your bama FG to bring it to 15-13 with 12.30 left.
Hey Les - how much better is 16-13 than 15-13?
Dope. |

Well said Clubdirt. Les Miles deserved Michigan. LSU didn't deserve Les Miles....

#24 Posted: 11/7/2009 6:42:33 PM Vanzack, not sure if you saw the boise st/tulane game the other day, but I think that was one of the worst game management calls I've ever seen. Boise scores a td to make it an 8 pt game with 6 minutes left or so, and instead of basically icing it up with an extra point, they go for 2. They did get it, but still, was that not a brain dead decision? |

what do you have? I have LSU +9 and can't believe I am sweating this out at this point other than the fact that Miles is still on the sidelines. |
