Did you agree with the decision to go for it on fourth down up 14-0?
* LastNoleofKrypton: Yes, the playcall was just horrendous.
* Jacob Smith: As much as the decision backfired, yes. If you can’t gain 2 yards, you don’t deserve that score. It just wasn’t meant to be.
* Jon Loesche: Yes. You had a team on the ropes for a game that most figured was a tossup at best going into the season. Just a very bad playcall.
