So basically he called that play to get the time to set up the next play. But my thinking at the time was to take a shot at another play and let the clock run down at the same time. If the play is successful but falls short of the end zone, then you've run down the clock some more and then you can spike the ball and set up a scoring play. Or if they take a shot at the endzone and score, they've still run down the clock and hopefully have not left enough time for Minny to drive and kick a possible field goal. That was my feeling at the time he called the spike. I'm thinking score and run down the clock at the same time.

But he's the one on the sidelines and we're the ones posting on the boards.
