London calling that run on 3rd and 10 reminded me of Bill Dooley :p

Yeah, that was ridiculous. However, a couple good calls he made were 1) bringing in Johns, the obvious new starter I presume, and 2) they went for it on 4th down when they were technically in the kicker's FG range. They still only got a field after converting the 4th but it was much higher percentage and I thought going for it at home against a supposedly superior opponent was definitely the right call.

Their defense looks good, probably better than ours when comparing our respective games/opponents.

I did like the 4th down call. Unless it was an obvious situation that would call for a FG, it's generally better to go for it in plus territory.
