klos63 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Crazy thing is with under 5 minutes to go the Falcons had the ball at the New England 22 1st and 10. Any logical coach would have gathered himself went jumbo and slammed the ball 3 times into the line. Assuming 3 1 yard losses you're looking at 4th and 13 at the 25 with 4:20 to go assuming New England used all 3 timeouts. The game essentially become out of reach with a 43 yard field goal which is converted 80% of the time. Now you kickoff up 11 and the Patriots need to get 2 possessions to win. No chance. there are so many times that when fans question play calling, there are 2 valid sides to the argument, the coaches and the fans. It's just mindboggling that i think Shanahan was probably the only person watching the game that didn't think running the ball 3 times into the line was the smart(only) move. I still can't fathom that logic. Edited February 6, 2017 by klos63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
