Last night, Reich made a decision that I was OK with,
BUT ONLY UNDER THOSE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES ...... he went for it on 4th-and-goal from the opponent's 2-yardline. The Colts were up by a score of 28-10
AND they were playing a bad team that was using their 3rd-string quarterback.
If the Colts were in the same exact situation but against a better team with their 1st-string quarterback, I would have wanted Reich to choose a field goal attempt instead of going for it ...... and/or if the score was closer, then I also would have liked to see Reich choose a field goal attempt (even against a bad team.)
I would like to believe that Reich is in congruence with my thinking, and that he only went for it because of the extremely favorable circumstances. In the past, he made very questionable decisions against better teams with better quarterbacks ...... time will tell if Reich has learned from his mistakes and only went for it because of the extremely favorable conditions (an 18-point lead against a bad team with a 3rd-string quarterback), or if he would stubbornly do what he has done in the past.
