I see teams lose games every week going into fetal position running the ball into the line and punting and the other team scoring a late game win.
You have a chance to close out games, you eliminate any chance of other team winning. The Chargers cost themselves the post season on a loss against Jacksonville with this punt it away and hope for the best approach.
Payton did EXACTLY THAT (fetal position) by running the ball on first, second AND third downs before going for it on 4th.
He made poor play calls starting on 1st down and it nearly cost him. If you are going to be aggressive then be aggressive from the jump. He paniced, first he tried to draw them off side then said "the heck with it" and went for it.
He got very lucky...

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
