You just can't take a sack there. Door is open now.
That was a Darrell Bevell type call the Seahawks did 2 years ago. Why would they even consider passing the ball there. 2nd down, 4 min to go, 8 point lead, 23 yard line of pats. Run the ball twice, eat up a bunch of time, then kick FG. 11 point lead and game over. These OCs keep handing the pats SB victories when the game could have easily been won.
This is Football - as all Griz fans should know - don't trust your kicker to win the game. Falcons won all year by being an aggressive offense and won several games that way. If they got conservative and missed the kick or it was blocked as their point after was (and illegitimately taken away), then they'd be criticized for that.
I'm going with the Faustian deal with the Devil concept - that or just the way the GOAT's of Brady and Belichick are. Great game - Falcons dominated the first 2/3's of the game and Patriots came back in historic fashion.
Wish the Griz could do that in WaGriz.
