Less than a minute remaining, no TOs, two score differential, so would need two more onside kicks?
I would've shut it down two series prior. And I'll bet a lot of talking heads tomorrow are going to say something similar. [Reply]

In the regular season? Yeah, just don't call your TOs there. [Reply]

Again, no coach in the NFL does anything different there.
Actually, SF had a much better chance mid way through the 4th quarter, and it was still stupid. Check the gamecast. They had a 10% chance, not a .01% chance like Tampa, and it would be worse is it went into the hundreth of a percent. :-)
Not every coach is going to do that. Don't know why you keep saying it. [Reply]

Another onside kick. They already tried two? It was epically stupid by Bowles. [Reply]
