Re: First and goal on the one yard line, what would you do?

Tell me if I'm crazy, but if Betts did not trip over Sellers on that very last play there was a pretty big hole there and it was basically a race to the pylon and I think Betts wins. Penetration killed that play, bottom line (I once had a high school coach who would say, "playing defense is like sex, once you get penetration its over," kind of a weird guy really, but that line has stayed with me). Betts looked really quick and desive in his cut on that run on 3rd down and the LB just filled the hole too quickly. On the run on 4th down I he scores if he doesn't trip over Sellers. I think the second and third guessing is fun and all, but the Skins were a lot closer to putting the ball in the end zone on that last play than many are giving them credit for. Check it out again and tell me that I'm nuts, but I think those were good calls on the goal line, though they (and this is Jason's fault, but he is young and will learn from it) rushed that last play. The biggest failure in the second half was the defense collapsing (and if you will remember, Burress really saved them in the first half with all his drops, so the Giants were hitting plays pretty much all day, Shockey and Burress just actually caught the ball in the 2nd half).
