Basketball and football are not the same sport. Horrible analogy.
In basketball you can stand there and dribble the ball with no negative repercussions. You can't just run the ball for first downs until there is :01 left and then throw a TD. If you could execute at that level consistently every team would be trying to do it on every drive. Just stop posting this nonsense. There's no such ****ing thing as a 4-minute offense when you are trailing.

In basketball, you easily walk down the court and set your offense in scoring range for the optimal shot. In football, every yard of ground is contested. Just getting into scoring range is hard enough, let alone scoring. Reid would’ve loved to have the ball 1st and goal at the Pats 3 with 1 minute left, but there was no guarantee we could get into that situation, and no guarantee a series of short passes and runs even gets us into scoring range. |

Well we'll never know for sure if burning more clock could have worked. But I know what didn't work!

A good analogy, if you want to use basketball is this:
Your team is behind by one point and has the ball with five minutes left. So obviously you should just brick 10 shots in a row and get the offensive rebound every time, so you can run down the clock to the last second and sink the game winning shot. That strategy will certainly work.

Here's a idea... at end of regulation time maybe we should have fouled the Patriots to stop the clock... sure we would have up yardage but the clock would stop long enough so we could get the right play in...maybe we could have got a TD...

This is not trolling.
This is the voice of reason. There is, 100%, no such thing as a four-minute offense when your team is trailing.

It's a terrible analogy that makes no sense. You can't do that in football. A football possession is not the same thing as a basketball possession.

4 minute offense is what you run when you have a LEAD and are trying to burn clock.
IF a FG would have won the game you MIGHT have a point, but we needed a TD to win, you ALWAYS take the TD when you can. |

Just because it's an unorthodox approach to a critical drive, or because an exhausted, substandard defensive unit might potentially get the necessary stop after we score quickly, you have to consider both options in an ever-evolving league.
Intelligence is the ability to adapt to changing situations. Is it more likely that the chiefs' offense could deliberately choreograph a drive that incorporates, say, 9-yard routes, then subsequent 1-yard runs for first downs, that adequately runs the clock and forces NE to burn their TOs? Yes. That seems like something that can be achieved. Is it a preferred approach to letting our suspect defense win the game vrs. the Goat? Yes, it is.

If that were at all true the offense would have scored a lot more than zero ****ing points in the first half.
