Rich,
No, I don't care about the call/no-call against Miami...or when the flag hit the ground. The point that I was trying to make was that one call can impact the outcome of the game. I don't know whether the right call or the wrong call was made in that game (I have an opinion, which I will keep to myself, and it is probably counter to what each of you reading this post thinks), but to say that it did not impact the outcome of the game, is naive in my opinion.
To say that Miami should have done more things in the course of 60 minutes is a slap in the face of the coach. The team did enough things to give it a shot at winning. Past plays are irrelevant...similar to sunk costs in economics.
Bottomline was that a call/no-call in that particular situation is the decider. At that point in the game, it is the decider. To surmise less, is simply to deflect responsibility.
The coach called the right play, had the match-up he wanted, the players on both teams executed to the best of their abilities. The call made a difference.
Whether it was the right call or the wrong call is debateable, but the call did make a diffence in that game.
