moral? DONT GO FOR IT ON FOURTH!!!
It's nothing more than the arrogance of Bellicheat. And finally it didn't work for them. Good riddance. FINALLY ! A team that refused to let themselves get beaten by the team with all the smurfs at the skilled positions. Had to happen sooner or later.
What should you call any : Fumble , Hold , Interception , Three and out , or Sack ?
A " F.H.I.T.S " ? or a J'Marcus ?

Nope, didn't miss your point, just that my example pisses off more fans than yours.

Amazing how Bellecheck has returned to earth after the whole spygate thing went down...3 playoffs, 3 1 and dones since then. Not quite as bad as the Browns stint, but he never had a great qb w/the Browns either.

Yep, there's a reason why teams still have Punters.

There is ONE time when you go for it on fourth without even thinking about it.
If you are somewhere between the 40-35 yard line.
Too long for a FG, too short for a punt

Not always. If you have a lead, even at that range you will punt it. There is no advantage in going for it, since you already have the lead, and if you fail, it puts them in good FP...whereas a punt at that range...even if it goes in the endzone, will place them at teh 20.

or get a delay of game and use that extra loss to coffin kick it inside the 10.
Without weaponz it's just another airline!

Do you remember the superbowl a few years ago? Coulda got a FG, but went and failed on 4th and 2? For some reason that inspired lovie and every other HC to go for it on fourth..
