[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1080628, member: 17987"] Of course it is, that's what I'm saying. If finishing the game with a score that is (+1) compared to your opponent is all that counts, why do anything more? I mean, look at the game situation. With 8 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, we were up by 11 points. Why did we bother trying to score then? At the start of the 4th, we were up by 14. Love passed the ball three plays in a row! Why would we subject him to those excessive risks?!? With 7 minutes left in the game, we get the ball back and are up 23-3. I mean, why even bother trying to run a play at all at that point? Go out there and take three kneeldowns and force them to burn up their timeouts. Maybe they score a touchdown. Who cares? It doesn't matter, we'd still win. Then we get the ball back one more time with 3 minutes on the clock. Again, why even run a play? Why not just protect your players and take a knee? Coming out of the two minute warning, Matt had Willis run a pass play on 2nd and 8. Why would he subject him to those risks? Doesn't he know Willis and the rest of the boys can get those reps in practice? Take a knee. Maybe the Vikings score again, but again, who cares? You don't get style points and winning 23-20 is just as good as winning 23-6. Obviously this sounds completely ridiculous, because it is, but this is the logical conclusion of "having more points is the only thing that matters, don't put your players at risk any more than is absolutely necessary" [/QUOTE]
