I can't argue with that. It's too nonsensical to fathom.
well let me make it real simple..
there was 4 options available to Fields,
Option 1 throw the ball to Claypool, there is a 8ish yard cushion so he will pick up 8-10 yards.. worst cast its 2nd and 2 and WE ARE ALREADY IN FIELDGOAL RANGE TO TAKE THE WIN. pound the ball.. eat the clock.. worst cast kick the FG for the win..
Option 2 throw the ball to Montgomery also about an 8 yard cushion but the defender is in a better position for a tackle so maybe he picks up 5-6 yards.. and its now 2nd and 4-5 and we are on the edge of a FG range 53-54 yard.. again pound the ball eat the clock and worst case you take a long FG to win..
Option 3 throw the ball to Kmet also with about an 8 yard cushion.. so maybe 6-8 easy yards.. again 2nd down ALREADY IN FG RANGE... pound the rock eat the clock.. win the game..
Option 4 throw the ball to ST Brown who is covered, has a yard maybe 2 cushion with the DB FACING THE QB.. everyone (should) know he is slow on his breaks.. Alaxander knew so I'm assuming Fields should as well.. he throws to him every day in practice.. So throwing to a guy that its know to be slow on his breaks, that has very little separation and the DB is watching you is a bad decision that has a very HIGH % of failure
YOU are arguing that option 4 was correct.. the option that literally lost the game..
Is that simple enough for you or do you need it even simpler?
