Balls, no, wanting something so bad, Yes.
Congrats and see u in December.
Agreed completely. Given the way our offense and the Bolts defense played today it was a better than 50/50 shot. Thats better than a coin toss, so in my view it was a smart calculated risk, not a wild gamble. If the Bolts had won the coin toss we'd never have seen the ball again - see last years GB game.
