his overall point is valid, imo. percentages just don't play as big a factor in dynamic game like the NFL. - Guy Nov 20, 11:20 5
- the dynamics of this game also include going up against one of the top 5 best two Minute Drill QBS of all time. - Reagen Nov 20, 11:24 2
  - sure. i dont think it was the worst choice ever, as he suggests. the real mistakes were mishandling timeouts. -- nm - Guy Nov 20, 11:28 1
    - That's absolutely true, both from the standpoint of being able to challenge, and from being able to stop the clock if you do hand the ball over. -- nm - Reagen Nov 20, 11:32
- correlary poll: Pats punt, and someone offers you 5-1 odds that the Colts won't score. You'd take that just as fast, wouldn't you? -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:21 1
  - (note: the actual correlary odds to match Simmons' stats are 2-1 and 4-1...) - TFox Nov 20, 11:22
Of course not. It only adds to the broader discussion. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 20, 11:17 1
- yes they did. they fell apart. -- nm - TFox Nov 20, 11:17
