I'm not so sure. I think some would, but a tie really isn't a loss, as lame as it is, it's statistically half a win, which is something. Depends on game flow and time left.
The big advantage to me is you are forcing yourself into having 4 plays. If both teams score and there's time for another possession then obviously advantage flips to the other guys, but there's too much that happens before that to really consider that an advantage.
They had run it down enough though and Dallas had no timeouts. They were getting like 8 yards a rush at the end. If you get stopped on 3rd down, let it run and kick.
It was masterful until about 1:20. Then they were taking about 30 seconds to get a play off.
They should not have even been throwing the ball. With any hustle whatsoever, they likely just run the victory in after Wilson's second long run. The defensive front was getting pushed around when we decided to start loitering and kick what MLF acted like was a game-winning FG. Insane to watch.
When my blood goes below boiling there will be gratitude for that 1 second left, because a loss would have been catastrophically worse and could have huge playoff implications. Then again I'm not sure it matters if we're giving up 40 points.
The sequence seriously looked like he either thought we were down by 2, or OT2 just carried on from the last play of OT1. Unbelievable. I have never seen something so incompetent.
I won't blame Love for that 3rd down. He wants to win the game. Everything leading up to it is SQUARELY on the clown we have in the headset. The guy has absolutely zero clue on how to manage a game.
LaFleur can go. I cannot believe what I just saw. They had them absolutely on the ropes and for whatever reason were taking 30 seconds per play. Why is he worried about the clock when a TD ends the game? He can go.
The clock management here is odd to say the least. Does MLF realize we win if we get a TD? It's like he played it to keep Dallas from getting the ball. They don't have timeouts.
I didn't think there was anything too awful about that drive or that it said anything about Love. They set the ball in the middle then had enough time to throw one into the end zone if someone fell down or something. Quick look and if it's not there, get rid of the ball.
