[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 552967, member: 3893"] And times when it won us the game, no doubt. Statistically, going for it on fourth and short will be the wise choice more often than not. I think that's actually been proven. There are no guarantees, but punting on fourth and one is [I]usually[/I] dumb IMO, and I don't care how many coaches do it. I've seen this scenario played out a thousand times - fourth and one at midfield, and a punt. It goes into the end zone. Two plays later, the ball is back on the fifty, but this time the other team has the ball. Punting is especially a bad idea with a weak or tired defense. The thing I hated to see was trying to draw the other team off side. That might have worked a couple of times 50 games ago, but it got old and just cost us a bunch of time outs for nothing. [/QUOTE]
