...either you QB sneak it like Gag Brady's been doing all year, or you take the points because you need to score again anyway. (and we all know the 2-point conversion attempt would've been painful had we gotten that far.)
You do NOT start four yards in the backfield, only to watch your guy gain 3.75 yards. Or worse, 4 yards, and you're still short by inches. Not unless you have a Super Stud offensive line, which I don't believe anyone has accused us of having this year.
And to top it off, you do NOT waste a time out reviewing the play when it was obvious at first glance to the most disgusted viewer that he didn't make it.
The points would've been useful to have, if you can't manage to call a sure thing play. AND, even if they got stuffed on a QB sneak, I'd say oh well we didn't get the push we needed, or too bad the Eagles got that much penetration.
But it still would've been a better call than that stupid thing they ran.
