The huge deal today is the gutsy questionable ridiculous call of going for it on 4th and 2 from their own 28-yard-line in last night’s Monday Night Football game against the Colts.

Now, the most important thing is if they were successful in making the conversion, there’d be less then a sparkler of the firework display the risk is getting today. This type of decision doesn’t play the odds. It’s the equivalent of hitting on a blackjack 19, because you want to win back your money now rather then later.

The networks are loving to be able to question the prodigal coach after he’s been defiant in answering media questions his entire career. This will probably linger for the next week or so and, hopefully, if he makes another questionable call and fails will cause a mutiny in the media about whether he has “lost his touch.”

The decision is the equivalent of a paper cut on the season but the blood is in the water and the media sharks are circling.
