[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 994553, member: 4199"] The problem is [I]sometimes[/I] it's worth it to run 3 times for a net of 0 yards, assuming the other team uses all of their timeouts. The other guys not having any timeouts is a Good Thing (I want to say Always a Good Thing, but I haven't sat here long enough. Maybe there is a crazy corner case where it isn't good?) but how you get there matters. Against Josh Allen, Mahomes, Prime Payton Manning, or Prime Tom Brady (these are examples only. Plenty other quarterbacks meet this criteria) I don't think [I]just[/I] using all of their timeouts is enough. Assuming have 1st and 10 right at 2:00 in the 4th quarter, three runs for 0 yards + a punt w/ fair catch, runs off only ~20 seconds of game time. 1:40 is plenty for any of them to go the length of the field. Forcing them to take timeouts makes their task harder, not impossible. In such a situation, I would much rather pick up first downs by whatever means necessary. If they don't have the ball, it's even more difficult to score. As less and less time remains, 3 runs followed by a punt (or 3 runs followed by an intentional safety) gets more and more attractive. The amount of a lead also changes the math. Field goal to win it? 30s is may be too much time, see Packers-49ers 2021. [/QUOTE]
