Am I the only one who fricking hated the fall downs at the end of the game?

I hate the strategy to begin with—if you’re winning by 1 or especially 2 or more, the things that would have to go wrong for you to lose at that point if you go ahead and score and add 7 points to your lead seem way less likely than a fumbled snap and turnover. But whatever.

However, in last night’s situation, the game was fricking tied with under 2 minutes to go and Philly having no timeouts and a QB without the huge arm to lead a typical, end-of-game, 75-yard TD unless your DBs slipped and let somebody get loose. Which was possible, I guess, on that field. But was also why I thought it was a terrible decision to play for the FG (even though it wound up working out). KC’s kicker had slipped at least twice already—once on the missed FG and another on the kickoff—and they were putting him on the slickest part of the field, right in the paint.

Again, it worked out, but at the time, in a tie game, I thought it was a bad decision. Unless they were scared Philly would go for 2 and the win if they miraculously went down the field and scored, but I doubt that was in Reid’s thought process since that’s more of a college move than an NFL one. Especially in the Super Bowl.
