One of these times, the mistake of scoring instead of taking a knee....

Anyone who wants to debate the logic, read the above again.

Please.

I had the UNDER =( and knew that play costed my under...

+You could see that Greene thought about it for a split seconds as he approached the goal line.  He had some hesitation, but his momentum at the time was too great to stop. 

 

So if Westbrook would have fumbled the ball after getting hit from behind it still woudl have been a smarter play then crossing the goal line?  Don't tell me its 100% better play then taking the knee.  No guarantees

 

Rex Ryan wouldn't argue it at all.  He was one of the first to celebrate.

You're being too logical.  Sports is an emotional game, and people play it for fun.  If it was chess, yeah, wrong move

It is about rubbing it in....not taking the 100% to 98%......Bill B.  has done this whole coaching career and you need to take this into account.........I would of done the same thing......

You clearly have no grasp of probability or its use.

Fun.

Dude, read my post. NY Jets purposely scored to rub it in and that was it. Last thing on Coach Ryan's mind as he ran to the end zone was a 15 yard penalty, a NE TD, then a NE on side kick conversion, then a FG. Fat dude clearly stated it was him vs. Belicheck.

Holy shit.

Could these people really gamble?

Its hard for me to believe.

 

 

 I've tried telling people at the book this theory until my face was blue. They don't get it. Until it happens they'll never understand. It's gonna happen one day. Many years back I think it happened in a Ill vs Mich CFB game. Nice thread, nice topic

You clearly have no grasp of probability or its use

Can you point out an instance where a team has scored instead of taking a knee and lost?

no van ..you score the TD there...like coach edwards would say,,,YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME...........

You may forget what sports id about Van.....Competition...(and not always friendly competition) you seem to be more tuned into the Vegas aspect, rather then the competition factor and past games.....Belechick is a scumba$$$ and needs to have the same thing happen to him.....

Not sure what's so funny...

Sure if they were all pencil-necked geeks out there they'd take a knee, but the last time I checked nobody from Princeton is playing in the NFL

Why are people even questioning this?  THE GAME IS OVER IF HE STOPS BEFORE THE ENDZONE...PERIOD...

Can't believe people still argue this logic

Even Peyton Manning knows when to avoid the Endzone on a TD run...

Right which is why Peyton Manning is going home and the Jets are going on

It makes me wonder if some of you played sports at all

Van seems to think that by as many times he has posted means he knows more then anyone else in sports.....I am sure he has never played a sport in hi life............

That is not what I am talking about. I am talking about Peyton going down after a run where he could have scored a TD so that they could run the clock out and avoid his defense going back on the field and someone possibly getting injured.

 

I have no idea why I am constantly surprised at covers, but for some reason I am again.

That's Peyton Manning.  Peyton Manning does everything by the book.  he's a control FREAK.

That's not Jets football, and Peyton has his *ss planted at home rite nwo

If you have the game won, then why score and send your Defense back out on the field? You would think that you would want to keep them healthy since they have another road game next week.

Funny, that you dont even realize the contradiction in your own statement.
