[QUOTE="formerlybis, post: 1076584, member: 18000"] Half-dud: the drive after the fumble recovery, and I'd like to get others' opinions on this. We got the ball at 5:07, up 13, and PGH with 2 timeouts left. We run for 14 on the first play, to the 14. Run for 4 (PGH timeout), run for 3 (PGH last timeout), incomplete pass (a throw away - did not see an open receiver over the middle, and did not just take a meaningless sack that would have kept the clock moving). Kick the FG at 3:59 to go up 16. For me, I understand the game management argument - drain their timeouts and then the worst-case scenario (a low-probability one, to boot) is OT. This is what most coaches do in this situation, but going up 3 scores there ends the game for sure. 4 minutes is a lot of time left, even with no timeouts, and PGH did end up scoring before the two minute warning. PGH is selling out to stop the run, especially on 1st and 2nd down, so a play action pass would have a good chance of working, and if it wasn't there, just go down inbounds and get them to take their timeout anyway. Had PGH converted the two-pointer, things could've gotten a little sweatier. Assuming recovering the onside kick and no first down, you're punting to Aaron Rodgers with around 25 seconds or so left (clock stops after the first play via 2-minute warning). Not likely, but not completely over. We jsut don't have that step-on-the-throat mentality in us. It's also not always the smart thing, but I'd rather err on the side of aggressive - you're going to get at least the 16 point lead anyway (barring a turnover). [/QUOTE]
