Hot Takes Welcome (Post Commanders Loss)

totally understand going for the 2 there … it’s an untimed down at the 2. You make it…you win!

However, I think it’s also fair to say it was shortsighted on Rizzi’s part.

You just scored a TD on the last play of the game. The defense has been playing well and the crowd was jacked.

Why not kick it to OT and see what happens?

Take the immediate pressure off your rookie who just drove the field for a TD at the clock strike.

Get a chance to settle back and see how the next 10 mins play out for your season.

Again, I get why you go for it, but I also think it robbed Rattler of a chance to play an important OT when he’d already answered the bell with a TD pass at the buzzer.
I do not think the defense was playing that well. In the last 8 minutes, Jayden Daniels overthrew a touchdown to Mclaurin, underthrew a touchdown to Mclaurin, and Mclaurin dropped a touchdown. I believe going for 2 is the right call. We had the momentum.

If we had to run that play again, I would rather have Austin in the slot instead of Juwan Johnson.
