It was actually 4th and at least a full yard. Maybe even a yard and a half. I still think he should have gone for it.
NO question. My problem was I thought it was a stupid play call. You have a big, powerful offensive line, and we pulled a guard and didn't make all the blocks.....go straight ahead and power that bitch in there.

oh well, hindsite.
I meant the one later in the game. People remember it being 4th and a foot now. It was longer than that. It would have taken some 'nads, but I would have still gone for it. Top rushing team. Worst rushing defense. Ahman was lights out in short yardage that year. Go strength against weakness--rather than leave it to the weak part of your team.
