So it is silly to complain about us not doing that. Some people here act like they have never seen a team fail to score a TD once they get within 4 yards.
We had 2nd down on the 4 yard line with 1:21 left. It could have taken us up to 7 plays to score and we wanted to keep the option of running the ball on any play. So we did not have the option to try and get cute with the game clock. Even though we had timeouts we wanted to be able to run or use the middle of the field on any play.
I get that, have to score when you can.
Good points, i have heard about teams letting teams score so they had plenty of time to go win the game.
Mostly i hear this in college games though.
