Why wouldn't we run the draw play in that situation? I saw the giants run that draw play on a 2pt conversion and a TD both on the 3 yard line IIRC. I know different teams ect but ARZ was expecting the pass..why not use the draw in that situation?

They used it all day. I felt like Ari would have been caught off guard on that.

Does anyone had any stats of the % of run/pass on 2pt conversions that tom brady has tried?

In football, the only thing that is 100% is the win/loss record.

Sadly, it is actually 50%, today ~ .500, if you will.

But I get your point.

Good point.

As much as I adulate Nate Ebner and his Potential, he failed BIG on that Play.

Indeed.

If I ever make my 100 Billion and buy out Kraft, I'm gonna make Season Tickets perpetually conditional on deserving them.

When it comes to Season Tickets, deserving will have everything to do with it.

Think we'll have a much better idea of what this team is alll about after the Raven game.
People went overboard in praise after the Tennessee game and now some are going overboard in criticism after the Arizona loss.
Patriots offense seemed out of sorts from the first minute yesterday.
Love the young playmakers on the D but it's hard to know where this defense is as a unit because they simply haven't faced a top notch QB.

You remember the board last year after they lost 2 in a row? Unreadable. End of the world ect

In other years, Ebner might, at every least, spend some time on the inactive list.
