Let me reiterate. That was a dumb ass decision on the part of Sage. I was only noting that as a second stringer Sage tends to take more chances than he should. In recent years those chances have paid off for him. Thus leading to the qb controversy talks.

Granted majority of the time he had no choice but to just air it out because most of the time the team was already losing badly or was out of contention for the playoffs.

Todays mistakes were the result of years of getting away with it. "Have fun throughout the game. Make daring plays. But when the f#@$#in game is on the line just go down and punt it away"

But I get it, his adrenalin was pumpin, he was instrumental in leading this team to the position they were in. I can imagine he was thinkin "wouldnt it be great to be this week's David Garrard, to pick up the game sealing first down"

NO YOU IDIOT. GARRARD WAS LOSING HE HAD NO CHOICE. YOU HAD A CHOICE, GO DOWN AND PUNT IT AWAY.
