It's not possible. There are too many bad things that can happen. Your execution needs to be too precise for this to be a repeatable offensive strategy. You can't have one bad block on a running play. You can't have a dropped pass. You can't have a ball slightly overthrown. When you're down you can't think about burning clock. You just have to think about finding the open man and hitting him, whether it's a 5-yard gain or a 20-yard gain. You can't sit there and say "oh shit that man is open 25 yards down the field, but I only need five yards on this play."

But the offensive philosophy was wrong on that second to last drive. I'm not mad about the Watkins play because they needed to get a first down at that point, and once we were in the red zone we did the right thing and ran the ball, which happened to score a TD. But the two previous plays were two deep balls, one to Watkins that drew the pass interference and then one to Tyreek in the endzone that was almost picked off. The level of urgency on those plays was not appropriate to the situation, we didn't need to be chucking balls into the endzone with 3 minutes on the clock. I'm not a Reid hater but it really felt like the coach didn't understand the amount of time that was left in the game. We DID NOT NEED TO SCORE RIGHT AWAY, there was plenty of time and timeouts. And saying that the only other choice is to give Williams the ball up the middle is a false choice. We had one of the most creative offenses all year, with jet sweeps, run-pass option plays, actual option plays, screen passes. There are other options between passing the ball deep and running Williams up the middle. |

They didn't send every receiver deep on those plays. Would you rather Pat take a sack than try to hit the guy who's actually open? You can't play small ball when you're down. That leads to 7-minute Alex Smith drives and pointless TDs to Albert Wilson with 2 minutes left. You just have to go score.

Andy had designs on something in the 1st half, and it went horribly wrong. NE's D was fresher obviously in the 1st half, but it's still bizarre. Amazing how much there is to consider, like if our offense had aired-it-out from the jump. That's why we love the game! |

you wouldn't design a play with an option 25-yards deep, other than for that player to be a decoy... you don't think opposing Ds would almost be happy to allow 5, 7 or 9-yard plays, until the whole charade was widespread, then it would get even more interesting.

Literally no team in NFL history has done what people are advocating in this thread. I'm sure teams have gotten the ball with four minutes and scored the game winner with a few seconds left, but it wasn't by design.

I think you do know. This offense was prolific.

A quick scoring offense is a byproduct of having a poor line. If you can't consistently get rushing yards or give the passing game time to run routes, you can't have those kind of long, time consuming drives that end in tds.
Brady was able to have those kind of drives all game and since we already had a bad defense, it led to them also being exhausted at the end of a game. Sometimes you need the offense to grind out some time to get the defense some rest. |

The way the Patriots were playing defense it's almost impossible to get small chunks and have 12-15 play drives.
They were inviting the big play with the way they were playing defense, with sell out blitzes and aggressive man coverage. Trying to dink and dunk down the field plays right into their hands. You just have to rape their blitzes and hope your defense gets a stop. In our case our defense DID get a stop, Dee was just offsides. That doesn't mean the offensive philosophy was wrong.

all this abstraction is fun
a competent D would likely eliminate the need for all this machination ha I still think it's not totally absurd. Get 2 1st downs via 4 plays designed to do exactly that, you're at the 2 minute warning at approximately midfield after that lol it gets goofy |
