Don't forget, his theory also hinges on it being pulled off more than once, if not three times in the final 90 seconds to succeed.

Wow man, you really don't know much about football. Go back to Madden.


Like kehlis was saying, throw three 15-25 yard passes in a row you are in FG range. Say 10 seconds per play. Still working with one minute on the clock down by 7. Recover the onside kick and BAM. You're is great position to win the game.

That won't happen, you can't have 3 hail mary's in a 90 second span.

Since your pet peeve makes no sense I'll bring my own into this thread, I hate when coaches kneel at the end of the half rather than try to score especially when they are losing. That's one of the reasons I like Sean Payton, he always tries to get some points going into half time and it's a big reason why the Saints have to be able to either open up big leads or get momentum back.

defensive team is probably playing prevent D and wants you to dink and dunk so you waste time...

I agree but the coach has to be smart about it. In the Min-Cinci game, Lewis calls timeout with 35 seconds left to preserve time after a MN field goal. What does he do with that time? A draw play and a screen pass that leads to a turnover and another MN field goal that put them down 2 possessions. Horrible play calling in my opinion.

To the OP:

Hail Mary passes aren't very successful. The coach would get raked over the coals if he tried a hail mary every play and end up 4 and out. It's better to do 20-30 yard passes by the sidelines and maybe one deep pass in the middle of the field.

At least that way there's a reasonable chance of a comeback rather then going for a play that has a 5% chance of working.
