Chubb (CLE) going out of bounds up 10-7?

I just hate the mentality. It's pure Martyball. When you pass up points like that, you invite bad things to happen. It's almost karmic.

And I hate the idea of coaches making decisions on things like "karma."

Marty made decisions based on "safe" probabilities. Those decisions almost ALWAYS led to playoff disappointment.

Prevent defenses, going away from the pass to protect a lead, etc.

I know it sounds odd to think about "karma" but we lived it as fans for a good 15 years until Peterson was gone.

I mean, I agreenif we are talking about any possibility at all of the other team getting the ball back. But victory formation isn't just safe. It is as close to a guarantee as you're going to get.
