Here is an interesting call to think about and how you would have handled it should it have occurred and it was close!
With 2:58 left in the game, the Steelers were on their own 1ft line with a 3rd adn 10.
What ultimately happend was the Roethlisberger hit Holmes for a 20yd pass that was called back because of holidng
and led to a safety.
What if Holmes doesn't make the catch and its incomplete and there is flag for holding still.
Do you accept the penalty and take the safety and two pts to make it 20-16 and have the Steelers free kick from their
20...or
Do you decline the penalty (forfeit the 2pts) and make the Steelers punt from deep in their endzone.
If you accepted the penalty, you get the ball deep in your territory on the free kick, still needing a TD to win.
If you decline it, you should get the ball at midfield or closer.
Both have their advantages but in either one, you still need the TD to go ahead.
If you take the safety and the 2pts, it could be argued that you set yoruself up for a tie if you score a td and give
Pitt enough time to drive for fg. If you dont take the 2pts a fg beats you.
Interested to what people think!
