Just for fun, I'm curious what people thought of the 3rd down call by Saskatchewan on 3rd & 19 with 3:09 left to kick a FG, down 13. This isn't a bash on Chamblin post, I'm just curious as a football coach myself to hear the opinions of others here.
There's 3 possible situations that could have occurred:
1. Make the FG and remain down 2 scores (which is what happened)
2. Miss the FG/fail to convert on third down and you remain down two scores going back on D.
3. Get the first down and have the ball inside the 25 with 3 minutes left down 13.
As a coach, knowing I have Richardson/Dressler out there, I'm giving my guys a chance to get the first down and trying to get that first of two scores with as much time as possible. At that stage in the game you basically can't afford to give up more than 1 more first down on D anyways so I would have played it a bit more aggressive.
