"It cost us the game," he said, according to CBSSports.com. "We go to the 1 -- or the half-yard line -- then spike the ball when, all of a sudden, officials tell us they're going to look at the replay. While they're looking at it, the ball stays at the 1. So we send in a play. Then, when they make their decision, they move the ball back to the 2

it was a crappy call from the 2 or the 1...very Paul Hackett-ish running right into the teeth of the defense. As my wife would comment watching the Jets do it time and time again during the Edwards era (error?) "why do they keep running into that big pile?"

The thinking was to take Gore out (make the D think they are going to put the ball in the Qb's hands) and try to soften up the middle by forcing the LB's to take an extra second to react to the run because they are expecting a pass...

Thats why you see backups break HUGE runs sometimes while the starter is being shut down...

The play made sense... just hard to expect ANYTHING to work under those circumstances...

True, but Martz got too cute. Martz was the one who screwed up with clock management and then compounded it with calling that play.
