[QUOTE="AUFC, post: 902212, member: 3230"] Not a fan of Collins but I did always find it silly when our fans pleaded with Collins to: 1) have Sims throw risky passes down the field with 2 timeouts and 40 seconds left with hopes that we could 2) drive 50 yards to get inside the opponent 30 in order to 3) miss a field goal by a mile as the clock hit 0:00 for halftime lol Like the objective is to score points - this team was never built under Collins to score points in that scenario. Doesn’t matter whether he takes a knee and loses 3 timeouts or lets Sims throw incomplete passes/interceptions downfield. In fact there’s a fair argument to make that an interception could concede additional points if we are relying on our OL in return coverage after an INT or giving the ball back to a competent offense/kicker with a few seconds left. This is also why you run the ball or a high percentage pass on 3rd and 25. There are simply more things that could go wrong than could go right if you make an aggressive playcall. Plus you can pick up a big chunk of field position running the ball when the opponent drops 8 guys into deep coverage to stop any realistic first down attempt. [/QUOTE]
