2. MOST teams pass on the goal line with one time out and the defense showing heavy run goalline package. Doesn't make it a bad call. HORRIBLE execution obviously, but not a bad call.

Speaking of an easy, lazy and wrong assessment.
It was obviously a shit play call for numerous reasons and most of the players that PLAYED in that game agree.
I know you’ll disagree, and if we continue this it will turn into the same circular argument. Last word is yours.
I also would rather not get into this circular argument for the 1,000th time about this dead horse topic.
But here are the facts;
- NFL teams run and pass about equally from the 1, passing just under 50% of the time.
- Patriot's had their goalline run heavy defense on the field, Revis even said they all expected the run. So why would you run the ball when they were expecting it, and we weren't all that successful all year with Marshawn from the goalline (3 of 10 TD tries I think?)
ESPN even did an article arguing both sides..........and they're right, it was a toss up call. That doesn't make it a bad call, again it was an EXTREMELY poorly executed call, from the low hike, to the high throw to Kearse getting bitch slapped by Browner and not getting to his pick block on Butler.

So sure, I'll debate maybe going with a lower risk roll out and corner or outside slant pass, rather than a riskier throw in the middle of the field. That's debatable for sure. But JUST passing the ball instead of running? That didn't make it a bad call, every team does it, and has equal success.
