Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 686022">I already responded to the idea of letting them score.  My response to you was to the alternate idea of using time outs differently.  I see now others are posting revisionist history backtracking through the 4th. quarter to other moments of tertiary importance.  I could have responded to those.My point is that all of these alternate scenarios are overthinking the matter.  You end up chaining together a series of if/then propositions where a break in one link invalidates the projected scenario.There was a singular do-or-die, us-against-them moment that determined the outcome of the game.  The opponent needs to go 75 yards in 4 minutes with 2 timeouts.  A FG won't do.  The situation is in your favor.  If you succeed you win, and all is right with the world.  If you fail you lose, and deservedly so.Creating scenarios such that the do-or-die moment can be avoided simply reinforces the fact that Capers' defenses have been lousy closers.</blockquote>
