I'm talking about the 3rd and 17 kind of third downs, though. Note that I said "once in a while". Another posted pointed out that that kind of strategy is unnecessary with this kind of a lead, however, and I agreed with him.
it's gonna really suck to kick their ass up and down the field all half and only be up 16-7. this needs to be a field goal. and please don't force the 2 minute drive and get a turnover.
