And what were the chances of completing that Hail Mary?
If you throw the Hail Mary then you should be paranoid that it could happen to you. So for sure take the knee. Why take a 2% chance of losing for absolutely nothing in return?
Why take the chance? Secure the win.
“Possible, but there’s a 98% chance against that happening.”
Yeah, and if it happens, the coach is probably out of a job soon.
There was a game winning last second Hail Mary pass today. Those almost never work either.
Widespread kneeling at the end of games occurred after this game on November, 19th, 1978:
The Falcons lost TWO games this year they had a greater than 99% chance of winning.
Not coincidentally, the head coach for those two games is not currently employed.
I can't blame Kliff Kingsbury for his decision.
