[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 747098, member: 2299"] There is no way to "know" about the future at all. That applies to the worry about leaving too much time as well. That is always a risk vs reward thing, and so you have to consider whether it would be good for them to try and push the issue. And there are reasons that team that was aggressive early, and continued to quick snap when they could be in victory formation chose not to push the issue and that is a factor in weighting how much of a threat "leaving them time" is. Also, you're ideally implied that a FG was an option. It wasn't. If we kick a FG there, regardless of making it, we might have well of punted it. But also what if we get to something like 3rd and 12 with 20 seconds left, run a play, they get called for a facemask and we get a fresh set of downs? Burning time could bite us in that situation, and it doesn't take far fetched events to make it so. But the reality is that the time isn't what should being discussed because in that game situation you don't worry about that. The discussion should be whether the down was worth it to give up. We have a true freshman QB who didn't have the benefit of spring practice and we've been practicing in a different situation than normal. We're also in year 2 of a drastic scheme change so the muscle memory isn't there for the experienced players like it would normally be. We were also missing our starting RB who would be our normal goal to go back as well as two tight ends who would probably be in the goal to go lineups we would normally want to go. So yeah, did you expect us to be fully prepared for every situation that could possible come up? That's why there is logic to spiking the ball. It makes it so there is one less factor to have to worry about, and lets us have a better shot at making the right call, reading the play right, and executing it better. With a QB who already has shown he has some issues with those things in the redzone it's not a benefit that should just be half heartedly dismissed. You were also calling for us to call a timeout when they had the ball so.... [/QUOTE]
