If you are on the fringe of FG range and throw a pick by 'going for the endzone' that's a recipe for getting a coach fired.

Wait until we see the first 15 plays against the ravens... No video, no comment.

I think it's two separate discussions.

If the coach said the goal of the drive, and the design of the plays is as was stated, then yes I feel a little better about today's TC.

If you are arguing that you should not ever practice a 2minute drill that has to get into the endzone, I disagree. Suppose the score is 32-25 and you have two minutes left then you will need to take those shots. (I happen to be watching the replay of Philly Arizona with 209 left, and Philly needs seven)

Wow you read my mind. If the Redskins get to the 35 yard line and all you need is 3 points to win or tie you would not go to the endzone. Defense would sit back and let you catch it underneath but would defend the endzone. If a QB forces it in the endzone it may get picked off. The goal of the 2min drill was to get into FG range or score depending on how much time was on the clock.
