Every Football Game Ends With Many "What If's"

But does it really matter what order they begin & end in?

Most ppl dwell on last What If?"

In this case "what if, or why didn't Atlanta just run ball & kicked the FG to go up by 11"

Ok...well "what if" Brady never throws that pick-6 to Atlanta?

"What if" Blount never fumbles that ball?

"What if" julian edelman doesnt make that remarkable catch?

The "What if's" usually equal out so does it really matter in which order they came?

It's different when one decision can lock up the game with little time remaining. I thought it was horrible play calling after Jones made the great catch. That was the championship winning play. You just had to not fuck it up from there and unfortunately Atl did.

All Atlanta had to do was take a knee after Jones made that catch and then kick a FG and be up 11...game over

I understand completely fellas.

But this takes some deeper thought.

If Atlanta doesn't screw up they likely win.

But in New England doesnt screw up earlier maybe Atlanta's never even in position to win.

Well....they aren't gonna take a kne but 3 runs would do the trick

A screw up on a play that is trying to be executed is much different than a coaching screwup on a play call when game is won.

True but the Falcons "what ifs" that people are talking about are related to strategy/play calling. Blount's fumble, Edelman's catch, and Brady's pick six relate to guys making (or not making) plays. Very different what ifs.

A fucking 5 year-old would've done that. But a retard coach that makes 1 million a year couln't even think of that.

It is beyond mind blowing.

It is like being down 3 points with 2 seconds left.... and they go for a layup.

Fucking idiots. It is beyond unbelievable.
