We can play this game allllllll dayyyyyy long man. It's situational [BLEEP] football.

Your defense dictated the terms all day. Minshew had multiple turnovers on the day.

We were up 14 points with less than 4:00 minutes to go. Within easy FG range already to take a 17 point lead.

If his knee got blown up right there and he was carted off the field you would be heated.

So would the media. We got lucky in a situation we didn't need to put our QB in and we'll leave it at that.

Holy crap truth right here.

Eat the clock, smash mouth football. Heck at that point I was already calling for Beathard to be in and handing off for 3 downs. I had enough confidence in the D that I wasn't even worried about giving the ball back without additional points.

We have a short week, so I would have been SUUUUUUUUPER conservative when it comes to reps and fatigue/injury risk.

We got lucky.

But I get it.  Might as well run a crazy play, cuz, why not, right?

You must not have watched much NFL football if you thought it was over even at that point. In any case, it wasn’t a crazy play, it looked like they were trying to run another of the rollouts which they’ve run successfully before. Like Pederson said, you run that play a million times and it works, but at some point it doesn’t. That’s the one that gets second guessed.

I don’t know why you think Lawrence was hobbling before then.

given the state of our line "you run that play a million times and it works" is quite a stretch.

You run that play a million times and hold your dang breath.
