He said it was his momentum:

"Eli was telling me to go down,” Bradshaw said, via Brendan Prunty of the Newark Star-Ledger. “He was saying, ‘Don’t score! Don’t score!’ I grabbed the ball and it really didn’t click at the 1-yard line, so I tried to put myself down. But my momentum just took me in."

It looks to me that he DEFINITELY did it on purpose. If you look he had started stopping his momentum at around the 3/4 yard line. He was in the perfect position to do a QB slide type of move before he reached the goal line. He had more than enough time from my eyes to stop his momentum. I think he just had the thought "how often do you get a chance to score a GW TD" for that split second...and tossed his ass in lol. (and I just reviewed the play 10 times so I'm not just BS'ing)

I honestly don't think it was momentum, and no, I don't think it was because of selfishness in wanting to score a super bowl TD. Who the f***wants a touchdown? Players want the win.

If he went down at the one-yard line, they run down the clock, and the kicker misses the field goal, Bradshaw would never be able to forgive himself for giving up a free score. I think he was just unsure whether or not to go down and at the last second just decided to go ahead and score.

Yeah definitely didn't do that on purpose, don't know how one would think of that. Patriots were smart in what they did and it took Bradshaw by surprise and couldn't stop himself. Should have extended the ball the opposite way hah.

it would've been much smarter to let them score a minute earlier so brady could have more time to get downfield but, hey, you know, beligenius always makes the right decisions in crunch time

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
