I was ok with the 3rd down give up to move the ball to the other hash and just get 3 and trust the D to win it.
But if that were the case, why throw incomplete on 2nd down and give them more time outs?
And why is it all or nothing. Would have preferred a roll out 7 yard pass on 1st down, then 2 runs. Anyway, they won.
I do think 7 out 10 times a good team/QB at least ties the game, if not wins it with 2 time outs and the 2 minute warning still left. plus 4 down territory and all the other ways to stop the clock.
