If that was a fringe player instead of AJ Green, he'd be released before the team left the stadium for that bonehead move.
I actually thought they did a great job with it. They had 15 seconds to throw into the end zone twice. If they score, even on the first one, there's only 10 seconds left for Rodgers.
They were fine getting the ball inside the 10
then 2 bad plays. 2nd of them epically bad
Looked more like they ran it on first down because they weren't aware that Murray had gotten the first.
I agree. I thought they executed really well...until AJ decided not to participate.
I hate that situation without a time out. The defense can freely commit penalties because the time doesn’t go back on the clock and the Cardinals can never run, because if you run and don’t score the game ends. So a defensive penalty is free.
I say: Never ever in that situation put yourself in position of having to burn that last time out until you have at least tried to score. You do everything to keep one time out because then you can always call it to kick. Sack doesn’t beat you. Ten second run off doesn’t beat you. Defense can’t pull a Harbaugh and interfere with everyone knowing you can’t try a run no matter how close to the goal line.
That last time out is golden. Running on first down and having to use it was really not very good to me.
Late edit -- I guess the Cardinals did have a time out. I had thought they used their third after the first down run.

Once they called timeout with 15 seconds left I thought they should have kicked the game-tying FG there, especially once I saw that Murray was limping around, because they had several high snaps on that drive, and another bad one would have ended the game. But Kliff would have been roasted if he left8-10 seconds left on the clock and somehow Rodgers got Crosby a chance to win the game before OT.
Kingsbury throws either Kyler or Green (probably the latter) under the bus here. Surprised he outright called him out for fucking that route up, I think most veteran coaches talk around that or say ‘we gotta coach better, a lot of plays were left on the field tonight.’

Which is incredibly stupid. Rodgers did nothing all game, which is understandable for a guy playing without his top 3 receivers. Just score.
Honestly? I'd rather watch those two teams play golf. Or maybe even engage in a spirited debate.
Did the Fins really not spy Allen on third and ten? He went almost forty yards, for 35 of which no defender was within 3-5 yards of him.
The Jets get a huge stop and then immediately give it back. The Jets defense must be agog at the lack of everything the Jets show on offense.
