Re: Tomlin says he called Run-Pass Option on 3rd down late in loss to Buccaneers
I don't know, if you read the entire article, the logic for Ben to hand it off makes a lot of sense. In basic terms, the defense played a pass so Ben decided to play the odds and hand it off, knowing that both the run and pass options of that play worked well.
But I'm far, far away from blaming the game on that play. After all, Ben fumbled giving great field position early for a TD, Antonio Brown dropped a pass on a flea-flicker that would've gone for a TD. Wheaton dropped a first down pass that killed a drive (or a couple). Our defense had numerous occasions where they had someone stopped, and then forgot to tackle. And then there's all the fifteen yard penalties on offense that are inexcusable, not to mention the "five yards and first down" hands to the face penalties in pass protection. I don't care what anyone else thinks about those, there's NO reason a defender should be taking "hands to the face" penalties."
