OK, 4th quarter, something like 7 minutes left in the game Cincy is down 31-13. On 4th down about our 25, does Cincy coach go for it and try to get them back in the game? Noooooooooo, he kicks a field goal? What??

What was the spread? And if it was more than 15, anyone think Cincy coach had money on the game? I thought it was complete garbage.

If that wasn't weird enough, they attempt an on-side kick on the insuing kickoff. Sure Cincy, I bet you are in it to win the game.

They needed 3 scores to win the FG got it down to two possessions.I dont see anything wrong with it as acoach you never give up and tell your kids to play till the end. It was a longshot but stranger things have happened

You obviously didn't think this through.  Making it a 31 -16 game allows Cincy to be only 2 possessions down.  the onside kick only proves that he was trying to get the ball back and make it a 1 possession game.

FG was definitely the right move for them at the time.  If they went for it and missed... they would be conceding the game right then and there.

I thought it was Bush league, these guys were totally out of the game at this point, score aside. They woulda had to score the TD eventually if they really wanted to win, why not try for it in the red zone. On my list of hated teams, Cincy ranks third below #1 UCFag-o-trons, and #2 Louisville

Bishop, this wasn't Bush league.  Odds are they don't come back to tie the game, but its a legitimate decision by a Head Coach.  I didn't see the game, but , even if it were 4th and 1, this isn't a Bush league play.

You can hate them all you want, but if the Bulls were in the same position, I wouldn't be too pissed that they converted a FG to make it a two possession game.

CFN uses OASISCasino for their lines.
