Taking a knee to run the clock out.

I could see within reason. Say your team is up 21 points with 15 seconds on the clock, why not take a knee? But if you are only ahead by two points, why not? The pressure is high, more chance of screw ups, why risk it?

It is a typical Catch-22

You're mad because an opposing team dropped to a knee to secure a victory because it was the smart thing to do. I have seen a interception and recovery and long sprint back up for a win in under 15s seconds. Turn around like that are what the game is about!

Had it been your team doing that, you would be proud that they were smart about it. Like said, its like knowing a right turn will be a wreck but going left is dumb??? no

That's completely different. Physical damage to you or your car and the possibility you cant hold the ball and loss a game?

I don't care if its my team or not. I favor the Denver Broncos(Before Tebow gets brought up, I've been a Denver fan since Elway) and Tebow was a ***** when he kneed the ball yesterday in the game.

At the end of the day they get paid large salaries to PLAY football! Not take a knee and watch the clock.

But what's the point of running a play if your up 21 points??? so you can win by 28? Deal with it....
