I don't understand modern strategy. I was always taught to score the TD if you could.

Not stop at the half yard line.  If they scored the TD, the eagles would have to go at least 80 yards to tie.

I like those odds if I'm the chiefs.

This is a pussy way to end a game by both sides.  Can't wait to see how the NFL promotes this as the greatest game--one team tries to allow the td and the other doesn't take it.

Probably one of the smartest plays in SB history

It was a hold. People are arguing "but it wasn't a blatant hold!" So fucking what. A penalty is a penalty. Good call.

Yeah but if you're gonna call that, then call the far more egregious stuff.

Be consistent.

Not stop at the half yard line. What if these clowns try a FG on 4th down and miss it?

And what if their defense let philly score a td to tie?  Play the probabilities.

You should go into coaching.

The % chance of the other team driving for a tying touchdown with over a minute left has to be higher than the chance of missing a 20-yd FG.

The probability of winning with a short FG is lot higher than stopping the opposing offense from scoring with 100 seconds or so.

the idea of good coaching is to end the game in the most boring fashion you can to win the game. it is all percentages. they basically gave the Eagles a low single digit chance of winning the game.
