Hi, I am Jbro and have a question...

 

On the last play of the game, why not give it to your fastest player and run backwards?

 

I have been saving my first thread started in years for something hard hitting and I believe this topic is it.

I thought they would but if someone forced a fumble we would be moving towards their goal. 

Yes, BUT you run backwards and then throw a deep bomb out of bounds instead of Cam giving them a chance to have a Hail Mary

    All this is quite well and good. But....the play worked. atl did not get the ball back did they? No. No reason to find a better way, when the first way worked.

 

    And I am sorry for this. But really. People were worried about a Hail Mary from inside the 10? C'mon Man.

You have to get it back to the line of scrimmage or it is a penalty. Running towards the other teams goal line is never an option unless you want to be known for one of the most boneheaded plays of all time.

I think chaos pretty much has it right. You don't want to risk a fumble especially when running backwards since then you don't have any additional of your own guys to cover up the fumble. A fumble in that situation could lead to a TD for the other team and since was a 3 point game a lose for us. I think what we did was the right play call but damn do our guys need to learn how to block.

Because then you are risking a turnover/fumble moving TOWARD your opponents end zone.

You realize that "deep bomb" would be thrown under heavy pressure, correct?  And that it would 1. have to be outside the tackle box and 2. thrown pass the line of scrimmage or it would be intentional grounding, correct?

Now, I'm not sure if the game could end on an intentional grounding on 4th down or not.  That is a twist of the rules I've never thought about.

      It is interesting how the games changed over the past 10-15 years. I mainly started watching football in like 2010 or so. I feel like every week there were QBs throwing for 400+, 300 yards was a pedestrian day it felt like. Now even the best qbs dont throw for 300 super often it feels.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      I dont necessarily disagree just really curious as to why that is?  He either must be a dunce, a bad teammate or must be horrendous in practice because I thought he showed promise at least in his 2nd year
