This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

the 49ers had 115 yards and 10 points on the prior 2 by jt
possessions.
Would you care to explain exactly how the flow of the game "wasn't going particularly well" for the offense at that point? And if you wouldn't mind also comparing and contrasting to the "flow of the game" for the defense at that point, that would be fantastic.
Your speculation about him not knowing the rules is incorrect; they have an analytics guy and everything, and it was hashed out before the Super Bowl. But because you know the end result in hindsight, you can point out how dumb someone else is. Because if you'd been faced with fourth and long in field goal range down by 3 points, you would have known to go for it and convert, because reasons.
