I don't mind passing especially to Gronk but you have to use a play action.

There's also a professional defense trying to stop you. And they had stopped them on the first 2 downs.

Goal line stands are a part of football.

Got to run a slant there and give GOAT 2nd and 3rd options if Gronk isn't open - he had good protection most of night

Fade is awful

There are pros on the other side.

The real question is why is the goal line offense still a thing. Spread the fricking play out and sneak it up the middle.

Yep. Thinking the same thing Stack the receivers which automatically takes defenders out of the box. These Pro Style coaches can learn a thing or two from the College Spread systems

Because teams don't respect your WRs on the goal line

You throw the fade before they're open. There is no 2nd option. You throw it and pray.

simple, they wasted 1st down to kill clock, didnt get it 2nd, fumble 3rd,, and incomplete 4th, 4 runs to blount in a spread = td, not sure why they didnt try that

Should have handed off to Blount on 3rd down he would have leaped over. He would have made it on 2nd down if not for chancellor.

The QB sneak with Brady isn't going to work when the whole world knows it's coming.

maybe because they are playing a professional defense geared to prevent them from gaining a yard......duh.

So are you saying they will leave them uncovered? Sweet, easy td.

If you spread them out, they are forced cover your receivers. And from 1 yard out, they wont have time to be involved with the play if you run up the middle. Goal line offense makes no sense. Every big guy you stack close, they bring someone in to. So that means your guy has to block a guy. If you spread 4 receivers out, that is technically 4 guys that will make perfect blocks, as those defenders have no chance to make a play
