But, if not, you're in great position to kick the clinching field goal.Of course it's possible they could fumble on a run play. But you wrap both arms around the ball and play conservatively. That's what the situation called for. It's all about odds. And their best odds, in that specific situation, was to play it safe.

POST #87 dieterbrock wrote:And if Ryan completes a pass (like he did against Seattle and GB) Shanahan is a geniusYou're right everybody else is an idiot. Atlanta had the number 5 rushing offense in the NFL and had been averaging almost 5 yards a carry yesterday. According to everybody but you all they had to do was run the ball three straight times even if they lost 10 yards and kick a field goal and win the damned Super Bowl. But instead they pass the ball lose 22 yards on two plays putting themselves out of a game winning field goal all because it was the defenses fault. An incomplete pass takes no time off the clock and stops the clock. A 2 yard loss on a run takes time off the clock. These say all you need to know about why the Falcons choked.But by all means keep exonerating Shanny and blame the defense. by OldSchool 7 years 10 months ago Total posts: 1750 Joined: Jun 09 2015 LA Coliseum Pro Bowl Do YOU fire Dan Quinn?

Nor does it matter whether or not NE was shutting them down.What matters is the situation. The situation called for running clock, getting NE to use their timeouts, and getting the 2 score lead. What were the best odds of accomplishing that? In my opinion it's obvious - run the ball 3 times. Maybe you get fortunate and actually end up with a first down.
