Poll: Comfort level with 2 minutes remaining?

[The Twelvethman]

When it comes down to the wire I am far more comfortable being down a TD with the offense on the field in close games.

Even back in the LOB days I have hated the way watching the 'bend don't break/give them the underneath' defence makes me feel, especially up on a team by only 1 or 2.

I'd rather the D be super aggressive to stop anything short and let them beat you with a big one and give the ball back to Wilson.

Great win though, my heart just needs the 10 days recovery.

The ball in Russell's hands please. It's not even close.

That's a loaded question. It's easy to interpret that having no confidence in the defense is the reason I'd feel better being down by 6, when in reality, it's because I have nothing but faith in #3. Russ is special.

It's both for me. I have the utmost faith in Russ, but at this point I have very little confidence that the D is going to get a stop with 2 minutes remaining.

FTR, I don't really consider the other team missing a 44 yard FG as our D getting a stop.

Change that up on defense from a 2 to 4 and it would be a tougher call. Still leaning to Russ down by 6 though. Pete's defense has always been better suited for that situation.

With 2 minutes left I really go get a bong hit & feel comfortable right away . :0190l:

It would be about a tie 3 to 5 years ago, but the answer is easily offense down by 6 today.
