Confessions of a Polluted Mindset - Fit to be Tied

Situational Football:

With only 21 seconds left in the first half, first and 15 on their own 27 and no timeouts, it was definitely out of character for LaFleur to not just take a knee. He always talks about not chasing points, but boy did he ever do it there. I have zero doubts it was an emotional decision, rooted in the fact that he had been way too conservative previous to that, stubbornly trying to establish a run game that wasn't working while Love was having great success in the air. And then choosing to punt on fourth and five while on the Dallas 45 yard line and holding an 11 point lead.
