2013-14 NFL Wild Card Weekend: The Philip Rivers Spectacular

I'm moderately surprised this isn't a more common tactic in close games.

it is actually, but then the saints go for 2 and force the eagles to do the same if they convert

[Mertron]

This sounds dangerously like optimism.

that was not the intent

[Conrad]

also you don't do that in a game this close

Saints are down 1. 2pc makes it a 7 point game

If you trust your offense more than your defense, then yeah. Put the clock in your hands rather than letting your opponent milk it and force you to go down the field in less time anyway.

Now that it's like a 32 yarder or less, you let them score if they get the first here, if they'll take it.

[Moss]

I would much rather try to drive for a TD than hope for a short FG miss

[Conrad]

maybe you're right, idk. still think NO would probably be smart enough to take a knee at the 1

[Mertron]

[Moss]

[Moss]
