Passing first on 1st down at times to mix it up when you're a run-heavy team (as the Vikes seemed to be with the old man at the helm) is play-calling 101. Esiason was right.

You realize Pierre Thomas ran it right down their throats to win the game.

I'm with ya but they're gonna have to play a HELLUVA lot better to get a win in Minni next week.
Oh and not to change this to a Phin thread but as a fellow Phin fan weren't you upset that Sparano bitched up at the end of the first half? I mean they're already in FG range and I know your out of time outs but at that time the offense was still on a pretty good roll and there was 23sec left why not at least run one more play there's still enough time to spike if it ends in bounds or don't score. Also IMO I think the Phins team followed suite, since Sparano bitched out and quit on the drive the team did the same for the rest of the game.
Now I say this not because they missed the FG I was pissed before hand and Sparano I love him as a coach but this is one of my few gripes with him as he did similar things last season even with time outs. I think he plays not to lose in these situations and it more often then not seems to bite the team in the butt.
They had 25 carries for 79 yards as a team for the game. That's an average of 3.2 yards per carry. Call me crazy but I don't really consider that "running it down their throats". Granted they showed signs of life through the run game in the second half and put together one nice drive, but it's a serious stretch to say he ran it down their throats.

This is a true story. Over the last two weeks I've come to realize I have a pet spider. It was spinning these incredible webs outside my window in this little garden I have. Then it moved over to my hummingbird feeder and was blocking the hummingbirds. I wasn't sure how to deal with that so I let nature take its course. Today I woke up and was truly astounded. The spider, lets call her Stevie, had constructed the most elaborate web from a bulb on my ceiling fan to the TV to a French door I have. It's really impressive. All day I wasn't sure what to do about it. But for the time being I'm letting Stevie crash here. I can see her right now right in the middle of my living room. It's the craziest looking thing. Don't worry, I'll update this story as it unfolds.

Stevie's web didn't totally work out. But she didn't leave, either. She abandoned the TV and the Light. She has now built a new web between 2 French Doors. It's awesome, but the pathway between those doors is dead to me. It's really not a big deal, she's not taking up that much space, and I like her. She also hasn't caught anything in the two days she's been here so I'm wondering if she should probably just move on. But I'm leaving it up to her.
