This was a classic case of two idiots overthinking the game out there. Can you imagine the conversation on the sideline calling that play? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Hopefully this is the end for both of these teams. Although Brady looks like he is about 31. That is what happens when you can afford the best skin products in the world.

Yeah I want my not real qb that has completed all of 12 passes the entire game to be throwing. I don't think he ever did his little high school bootleg thing the entire game where he keeps it. If you don't want to give it to Lynch for "surprise", then at least let him do his high school thing.

That's true, but if they wanted to run it 4 times they could have. 1:06 and 1 timeout is plenty.

It would've been close. Run it on 2nd and call a quick TO so you have what .22 left? Run it on 3rd and run it on 4th as time expires.

Yeah but then your going back to an earlier time in the game. They thought NE was gonna call TO and weren't prepared at all for it not happening. Once that happens then you gotta throw on 2nd down.

If it you lined up and got the ball off with like 45 seconds then yeah you could possibly pull it off. Still would be tough though.

Would've been great if it happened and Wilfork just laid on Lynch for 20 seconds, that would really give em something to complain about.

Yeah it was way too high risk of a throw for my blood but you do think it makes sense to throw on 2nd because you can't run all 3 downs right?

I wouldn't have thrown it period. He could've always run the read option and had Wilson keep and then pass out of bounds if he wasn't going to score.

If you run on 3rd with 22 seconds left there probably isn't going to be a 4th down.

Hell Wilfork would probably just lay on Lynch for like 10 seconds as time expires. You can't risk that at all.

Yeah something like that, or if someone comes open like L WIlson back of the end zone then you do do it. I'm just saying once it gets below 40 seconds or so you can't really run Lynch on 2nd down which is the point people are missing.

There seems to be a "Lynch 3 straight times then put the kids to bed" narrative but as Jalen Rose would say

NOT GON BE ABLE TO DO IT!

I'm going back 1 play. I agree that they were unprepared for NE to not call TO, but they pay Petey 7+ mil to handle those situations.

They could've and should've run him on 2nd then called a quick TO.

Then you can't really run on 3rd down though. Makes 3rd a de facto passing down.

You likely wouldn't be able to get a play off on 4th down and even if you did it would be a clusterfuck racing against the clock.

Well, they were obviously scared of scoring too early knowing Timmy Brady was on the other sideline. Tried to get too cute.

His aura certainly loomed large in that last minute.

Agreed, but that doesn't mean you throw a slant to a special teams player.

Yeah I said that throw was too high risk for me but doesn't mean they shouldn't have had the ball in Wilsons hands on that 2nd down. Then go to Beast Mode on 3rd and 4th.

I agree they were scared of giving the ball back, and in my opinion you can't operate like that. Alright, I'm done talking NFL for a few months. Congrats on the win, man. Hope you enjoyed it.

Quinn to the Falcons just announced

Its too bad Bevill didn't get an HC job though. Imagine a team hiring him today after all that, that would've been surreal.

Read option left on 2nd down. If he doesn't make it call a timeout.

3rd down. Rollout right. either hit someone in the end zone, run in if you can make it, or quick throw away.

4th down: Kick a FG, lose by 1. Everyone will still call Carroll an idiot and Vlad loses his -3 Pat bet. No, really, playaction to Lynch, run tight end behind line of scrimmage, he will get lost in the mess, easy pass to front corner of end zone.

Allow me to be Monday morning qb.

It's very likely Lynch doesn't touch the ball on any of those 3 plays.
