The thing we all have to admit is that run or pass, it's going to see like genius if we succeed and idiocy if we fail. The type of play is secondary to the result when it comes to evaluating the call.
This is true. The outcome is so important. If Green scores and we win, the play looks great. If Green scores and we still lose, then it is still questionable, due to leaving so much time on the clock.
Which is why I am critical of this particular situation. I have seen it before. In Miami, we go for the big play and failed. If we had succeeded then we kill the clock and make them take their final TO. Failing, still resulted in a FG, but the clock also stopped and Miami was able to conserve that final TO. If we ran at that time and didn't convert, then Miami takes that final TO. We kick the go ahead FG and Miami now has to go down the field without any TOs. After that sack on Tannehill, they wouldn't have been able to take a TO, and a QB that can't take a TO to regroup is preferable than what we gave them.
As I have stated. I am all for going for the win. A TD would have been sweet and we probably would have won had we connected. However, in this situation, you almost have to go for at best a conversion with 2 TOs or at worst (other than a turnover) a 4th down with the clock running down in your favor.
