The 3 Kneels downs & FG...Was it the best strategy? And...Am I the only one who saw this?

The Ravens has always been one of the best teams at striping the ball away, and that's for surely what they were going to plan on doing. It was actually the smartest thing to do since we were already in field goal range and Warren has been fumbling alil bit lately. thats why I'm glad fans will never be put into a coaches position to second guess every decision made. Especially ones that work out in wins.

Ahhh gotcha'...the ole fumble that doesn't show on the stat sheet. Either way, 2 yard Naj. would of gotten the ball
Ya know, up until Sunday, Najee was averaging like 4.3 ypc and Warren was averaging under 3.5.
At present, Najee is averaging 3.9 ypc ... Warren has to be better right? I mean, he does all that hurdling and stuff, and he's more explosive than Najee (I'll get to that in a second). Warren is averaging 3.6 ypc. OH, about those explosive plays. Najee has 3 runs of 20+ yards on the season. Warren has zero, nada, zilch.
Warren is a good little 3rd down back. He catches the ball well. And, if we assume that Najee is not a bellcow back, then the Steelers just don't have one.

I edited it for you...
Through 39 games Najee is now right at his career mark of 3.9 YPC
And Warren is doing no better. The "explosive" back has less explosive runs than the plodder.
It’s all the blocking scheme on the oline… fix some of that, let them get downfield and block instead of fall back passively and watch those ypc numbers climb up…

Ahh.... ok. So in the end we didn't get the 2 pts.....so we were up by 7 and not 8. In the end I still don't agree with it. Guess that is why I am not a HC.
Yeah you have to factor in time left, how the teams D and O have looked, what the advantages are if you make it and what the disadvantages are if you don’t. …Ahh.... ok.

In our case, you can’t really plan for that fluke field goal… the five point lead was meaningless compared to the six, especially with how our d was playing compared to the O…
