That would have made more sense. Run the ball on 3rd down if you know you’re going for it on 4th.

But playing for a field goal on 3rd and 8 in the first quarter of a 7-3 game?

Makes no sense at all.

Another FANTASTIC Ballard move.

Why in the hell would you play for a field goal?

That’s just bad coaching.

Playing for the field goal in that situation was the right move this early in the game, for that reason (because it's so early in the game, and because there is a lot of football still left to be played.) If Gay had done his job, the Colts not only would have had 6 points on the board instead of 3, but the Giants would not have had that short field to work with, from which they capitalized on with a TD drive.

Also, the fact that Joe Flacco is the Colts' quarterback is another reason for that decision ...... if we had a really good quarterback playing, then I would agree with you......but since we have sucky Joe Flacco at quarterback, we can't afford to take anything for granted, and need all of the points that we can get early in the game.

There are a dozen QBs in this league, some not as talented, that would have to be hogtied to prevent them playing in a game with playoff implications!

Now the backup running back is dragging the entire defense 15 yards down the field.

This is an absolute disaster.

So you mean everytime he makes a play- because ALL OF THEM are bad!
Fuck AD Mitchell!
