It makes no real World game sense. As long as they win the game it won't matter, but if they end up losing a close game...that will be ugly.

Because with 13 seconds and no timeouts from the 23 yard line a lot can go wrong. don't want to risk anything.

I have no problem with it. Too many things can go wrong with no way to stop the clock

Think it was a mental error.


But, they may not have wanted Sam to throw a 50/50 ball, and toss away the streak

Yea after time to consider I can understand taking the points and walking out with a 24 point lead but as a fan I wanted him to take one more shot.

Why?


That was at least a play that had a decent chance.

Not a 50/50 ball at best

*Hail Mary style
It was a difficult throw, just saying if the main concern was keeping him perfect they probably would have gone safer than that. Granted, anything in JSN's general vicinity feels safe these days.

If they lose a close game there are way more problems than that TO at this point lol

Never said “main concern”.

Just that in that moment and situation it may have been a consideration

Secondary - I was half joking
The main point was they were happy taking 3 from that drive
