Dear Fan, Why are you asking me? I don't know anything about football! I'm a dog, for goodness sakes!However, I did happen to be in a room with a TV that had the game on when the now-infamous 4th-and-2 situation arose. My human stood on the couch with his entire fist in his mouth. After the play -- and the remaining few plays of the game -- he went into a state of semi-shock and denial... similar to what I witnessed in the first week of February 2008.
As for whether the coach should have gone for it, I have only this to say: Sometimes my humans leave me alone in the house. Sometimes -- not often, but sometimes -- they leave food out. Like Mark will leave his lunch box within my reach and in it, there will be a granola bar that he didn't finish. Or other times, I'll find a ziploc bag of dog cookies in a jacket or backpack pocket on the mudroom bench.
I know there will be consequences for my actions. Sometimes I even regret it later, like when my humans come home, find the remains of the granola bar wrapper, and I hang my head and tail.
But every instinct in my body told me to do it, and you have to listen to your instincts. So that's all I have to say: listen to your instincts. Coach B and the rest of your team, keep doing what you're doing. Don't listen to all those critics. Your instincts are almost always right.
Thinking about becoming an NFL analyst,
Oscar
