Ok sounds good we all want less yards by our opponent. That said the end justifies the means.Actually that was not my point at all. I mentioned that I didn't like the way the Packers defended the running game in the second half.
The next best scenario in a game we are winning by multiple scores and running up and down the field on them, is if you do allow those yards? (it’s not always going to work out perfectly in each contest) do what’s important and make them eat clock. It limits how many times we each see the ball again.
As far as our Offense also in a multi-score Win. That’s why smart players stay in bounds going into the 4th quarter (or vice versa for the team that’s 2 scores behind) and especially as the game clock exceeds 80% of its totals. :40 seconds off that game clock is often more important than struggling for 2 more yards etc.. That’s the point I was making.
I enjoy the cerebral part of the game. The clock is a major part of the rules and if it’s used effectively it can be a tool that will Win or Lose games. Yards and Stats don’t always paint a perfect picture. Just ask Josh Allen and his Coordinator, they made some mistakes that likely cost them a game and I knew it evidenced by his cracked football helmet and the broken IPad in pieces in the booth.
