The crying call for the 2008 run was "We will shock the world". Our crying call this year is "No risk it, no biscuit". This is Arian's style & he won't change no matter what. We can pretty much bank on 2 outcomes this season: We will either win in dramatic, never to be forgotten style, OR we will lose in heartbreaking fashion. Either way, that's Arian's way.

That still doesn't excuse the horrible pass call. Why was it horrible? Because whether or not Fitz catches it, the clock stops. You simply cannot leave time on the clock for a QB like Aaron Rogers. No Riskit, No Buscuit might be cute and all but there's a time for risk and there's a time to be smart. That shovel pass for the winning TD was both. Passing when running would be more prudent gets you biscuits as well. Would we be talking about a cute phrase had we lost the game?

The corners play on that was suspect as well

This play was another example of Palmer's struggles. The call was fine as the play had a reasonable chance to succeed and allow the Cards to run out the clock or score. BA was simply saying he trusted the offense more to win the game, which they eventually did. The defense looked shaky even if time was short. The key to the play is you don't throw it if the chance of completion is low. Instead of throwing it; you take a knee. The field goal is still reasonably probable and the clock runs.

Identity or philosophy is irrelevant. You can't gift Aaron Rodgers 40 seconds. You just can't.

Great coaches make bonehead decision. Luckily it didn't backfire.

This.

Although it's on the coach to explain the part about eating the ball if it's not there so there is no misunderstanding.

You'd think Palmer would know but apparently not.

BA likes to takes risks throughout the game.

This one is kind of mind boggling, but he is playing to win in his mind, not conservative
