I don't think Shanahan's call to throw on a 2nd & long 11 (12) down the stretch was a bad call, despite everyone and their brother killing him over it
on Inside the NFL last night at one point you hear Ryan and wither Quinn or Shanny talking on the sideline, something along the lines of 'keep doing what we do'
Ryan was pretty much lights out all night, he made most of his throws.....they were an aggressive team all year - they go conservative and get stuffed twice more, and then miss a long FG, and everyone is chiding them for changing what they do
they went for the kill shot, and they HAD it......primary option was open going down the field, it would have hit for a first down or TD
if freeman makes his blitz pick up, even makes an attempt, kill shot is made, everyone praises his killer instinct, game over.....
the call was a good one, freeman just spaced out on a simple blitz pick up, and hightower made the play
now should they have run on 3rd, picked up a small chunk and kicked the long field goal? don't remember the exact yardage, if a 5 yard draw picks up enough to matter AND forces a patrtiot time out?
but i think the call on 2 and 12, when everyone expects run, was aggressive and a decent call....just **** execution
