I just will not understand how people think like this. Our defense gave up scoring opportunities on every possession after Warner went out, I believe. Only had a chance due to a missed FG. 4th and 5 down by 8 with what was left on the clock…. Absolutely go for it.
Next time don't have the penalty.
This. He made the right call and Tonges was open for the 1st. Mac just made the wrong throw. I don't even blame Mac much - guy is toughing it out without his top pass options and with a terrible OL.
Sometimes you just don't have the horses. Our best players are not on the field. Before Game 1 who were our Top 5 players? Bosa, Warner, CMC, Kittle, Purdy. All except CMc have missed (or will miss) multiple games this year - and CMC missed most of last year.
When your top talent isn't on the field you're playing with your feet tied.
