I have been advocating this for years. (and mocked and derided on this board for bringing it up). The number of end of game situations is actually finite. Pay some MIT math genius to put together the database of situations and just have him standing near the coach the last 4 minutes of the first half, and the last 8 minutes of the fourth quarter. No one should be calculating these situations on the fly under pressure. During the game, we learned that Tom Brady knew the situation exactly as the situation arose. If you had asked him before the game. "traling by nine, three timeouts, 1:20 remaining, pass or run". He would have instantly said pass only.
