I get it. "They didn't trust the offense"
And it still the decision that pisses me off the most even one day later. I will explain why and yes, this is my form of venting BECAUSE IM PISSED
The Middle 8 is one the most important parts of the game and BB knows this ( The Middle Eight )
At that time in the game, we had scored 10 points consecutively. We had all the momentum and Dolphins just had a bad drive. At that time,statistically , we could've gone to halftime with A MUCH BETTER winning percentage based on having, potentially, at least 1 field made before half AND getting the ball back, PLUS we would be, mentally, in a MUCH better place to start the game.
Whatever message he wanted to send to the offense, IT WAS NOT WORTH NOT GOING FOR BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME. You DONT take points for granted in the National Football League. It's DUMB. We were on the verge on being ahead probabilistically AND psychologically
If you think it was warranted, let me tell you that I disagree: There is no place on earth that AN OFFENSE lead by the GREATEST QUARTERBACK OF ALL TIME, no matter how badly he's playing at the moment, is SUCH A RISK, that you give up points.
But worse of all what aggravates the situation , to me, A LOT is the explanation made by BB. Because it was ********. BB understands enough of Game Theory (proven unquestionably after the Seahawks game) to say he decided to give up AFTER the first play was unsuccesfull.
He DECIDED to give up BEFORE the draw play. He let the Dolphins waste 40 seconds to punt, because HE HAD GIVEN UP. Maybe he could change his mind If he got the first down the first play.... BUT THEN YOU DONT ****ING CALL A DRAW THROUGH THE MIDDLE.
Vent OVER.
I understood the decision at the time, but i was weird. The more i think about it, the angrier i get.
A lot of people played poorly and deserved to be criticized. But this error is fundamentally different because it was an RATIONAL CONSTRUCTED MISTAKE, and not made in the spur of the moment of a play, which isn't as rational. And here is a fact about rational mistakes, it only happens if you have your facts WRONG
