To call a pass into the centre of a defence packed to try and contain Lynch and expecting either a running play from him or a pass to a wide receiver? It might not be considered ground breaking, but brave and brilliant? Yes, it would have been.

Brave and risky if it worked. But it didn't, and that is why you lambasted for losing the game using a risky, and ridiculous play.

Not really. They've said plenty about it before the game. There are those who love controversies, and those who just love sports. That's why most sport segments have controversies, followed by actual games. When I sit down to watch the game, I don't want the game to be polluted by that crap, and I'm quite certain I'm not the only one. Deflategate is something to talk about when discussing Goodell; it's not something to talk about during the actual game. As a result of their stupidity, I muted whatever the fuck they were talking about during halftime show, and skipped all of the halftime ads. I'm certain that if fans do this repeatedly, they'll learn to talk about the game, during the game.

I'm no football genius, but obviously you run it there no matter who your RB is, regardless of having BeastMode. If you don't get in, call your timeout, throw it on third. If it is incomplete on third, it comes down to one last play, your choice of run or pass. WTF?
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. Does that mean Darrell Bevell gets to get up and have a second chance at making the right play call?
2nd down, defense is expecting run, so you run play action and put the ball up in the air behind the crashing defense. If you run on 2nd down and the defense stuffs you, they know you're going in the air on 3rd down since you just used your last time out.

What were they meant to talk about during the bit where the camera was stuck in the pen holding the balls?

So you can say for certain that if he'd gone with what all the armchair coaches in this thread are saying (not all of whom agree by the way) he was guaranteed to get the score?
I can in no way guarantee they would succeed and get a touchdown, but I can say with some certainty that the play used was inferior to the options at hand. As had been shown, it didn't work.

And if the other plays available had been tried and not scored, would they automatically have become inferior? Arguing that from hindsight is just silly.
