4th down gamble backfires

November 17, 2011 at 01:18AM View BBCode

Facing a 4th and 2 on their own 46 yard line with less than a minute remaining and the game tied at 10-10 Hamilton opted to go for the 1st down, and failed as the pass fell incomplete.

Given new life Washington moved the ball down to the Hamilton 22 and kicked the game winning FG as time expired giving the Hog Heaven's their first win of the season.

which parameter of your 4th down situations did this occur? would it triggers if it was 4th and 10 or 15?

Yes, it would have triggered on 4th and 10 or 15. The rule is:

If tied and within [60] yards of the goal line and there are less than [60] seconds remaining in the game, go for it

They weren't mine, it was the statue who went for it, I was the beneficiary of his failure.

My strategy isn't quite as aggressive, 50 yards and 45 seconds.

Hehe. I guess I have more of a risk/reward setting there than I thought I did. Nice game, TR!

Not really, but thank you. We gave up 324 yards and 19 first downs and you had the ball for 35 minutes .

I'm still not sure how you only scored 10 points with that much offense and only one turnover but a win is a win so we'll take it and regroup, I've never had a team with an offense this bad and I can't quite explain it other than horrible drafting. My defense is reasonable though so maybe a decent draft or two will turn things around.

I can't score once we are in the redzone and my kicker is awful as well. It sucks.
