Also also me: But what if I used this team combo in CZN.

Also Also Also me: Hey, don't forget you wanted to homebrew an expansion to the RE card game.

Two lower-odds gambles versus 3 relatively-higher-odds gambles (including the PAT/OT as a gamble too). And yes, I'm aware this is all hypothetical that likely doesn't matter if Williams makes a better play on that one.

But yeah, agree to disagree here.

I admit that its probably some stupid "its the packers" thing but I just felt better working the clock down to score and hit the conversion. Maybe OT would've been fine too.

Prior to that pick, the offense was humming pretty good, and I liked the odds of winning there with no time left better than going to OT.

Agreed there for sure. Somewhere in there he got too in the middle of his decision, and then tried to Cutler his way out with the same results.

But then he held on Kmet. If that's read 1, by the time he decides to run, he can't. And then you've lost the flat too. Again, at no point am I saying Williams couldn't have done this a lot better.

Ok, then the Packers get the ball with 23 seconds left needing only a field goal against a defense giving up chunk plays on breaking routes with one timeout left. That's not a scenario I liked.

He was walled. He wasnt gonna pick that up.

At no point am I saying Kmet was not open or that Williams didn't need a better throw. But I am saying I'm also dissatisfied with all-or-nothing in that spot.

I led off with Williams having to make a better throw. I'm not contesting any of that part.

You have enough to where you don't have to have the clock be your biggest concern at that point, I mean.

Williams is supposed to scramble for it, I get that, but once he gets predictably walled out by 5 Packers players, I just don't like the loft end zone shot being the only play.

They had 2 with 23 seconds. Assuming they have to call it after converting, that's 1 remaining 10 yards out. That's practically the full playbook at that point.

Caleb needed a much better throw/timing - but I thought the call was a little too all-or-nothing, with that much time left.

Offense clicking and defense prone to big shots, yeah, probably win it right there.
