This has happened a couple times in the past 25 years inside of 2 mins left in the game.
Absolutely it has but never by an inept team like Miami. It's usually between division rivals or the losing team actually is capable of performing late game. Miami had less than 0% chance of winning that game at the end regardless of anything.

The last team that did it was the fricking Jets a few years ago

I’m not worked up either way, but I look at it like this. There is still a chance you fumble the snap on the kneel down and you are only up 5.
If they score, they are up by 2 scores with 2 minutes left. The dolphins have to score, get an onside, and score again to win. The chances that happens are less than the chance you fumble a snap.
Both are staggeringly small, so again, I don’t really care, but I do think from a mathematical perspective it would have been better to score, even if only the slightest of amounts.
Cristobal isn't coaching the Vikings

You’re confusing the point.
If Hockenson scores, no one really is going to be mad. But, it is not the correct play from a statistical standpoint. And being mad, about someone making the correct play is absurd.
Gunner Stockton did the same thing against Auburn last year, but the right move was to slide. So when we played Florida and he was in the exact same situation he went to a knee.

This one is pretty cut and dry.
The Lawrence one last week was weird.

I'm talking about 2 teams not evenly matched. Now go ahead and give me an example.

No I'm not. If I'm a WR or RB I'm scoring. My paycheck says I need to score. frick the 0.00002% chance they come back and win.

This is one of the dumbest hills I've ever seen someone die on. Did Hockenson not scoring lose you your fantasy matchup or something? It was the right play, it's pretty idiotic to argue otherwise.

No. If I'm a WR or RB, I'm scoring. There would NEVER be a decision where I slide 1 yd from scoring unless someone pays me handsomely.

Congrats I guess? I'm sure his coaches and the defense thanked him for ending it early. This is like the 50th time a player has done this and every time it was the right movie.

Right. Because you would be playing selfishly. Not everyone plays that way, and it’s dumb to chastise someone for it.

Lions went on to win this game 23-22.
The night before this game, Penn State lost to Indiana because their dumbass RB scored instead of going down at the 1 when they were by 1 point. They scored to go up 8. Indiana went down the field, scored a TD + 2pt conversion to send it to OT where Indiana won.

If they are saying it was the wrong play because of the spread, they are dumb.
If they are saying it was the wrong play separate of gambling, they are very dumb.
The Vikings kneeled the ball and won the game after this play. It's very simple to understand why he did it.
It's why you don't bet with anything other than throwaway money.

We're not talking about 8 points. We talking about scoring, recovering onside kick and scoring again.
Posted on 10/6/26 at 7:16 pm to saintsfan1977
You said the offense should NEVER not score a td. There are examples damn near every year where scoring is sub-optimal.

Which is still a massively higher probability than kneeling twice without two major catastrophes and ending the game

No it’s not

Absolutely. It's the worst thing to happen to sports.

Yes, it is. NFL teams score on something like 22% of their drives, then recover less than 7% of onside kicks after.
Do you know how many victory formation snaps have been fumbled in the NFL since the origin of the practice in 1979?
Zero. So. You'll put up the idea that something that has -never- happened, will happen at least once, against something that is a low, but not unheard of improbability.
That's functionally retarded.

They’re both like 99.9% statistically
