That is what Indy and the Pats have done well over the last decade. If there is 3 minutes to go and the other team has 3 timeouts, they come out running their normal offense. We came out yesterday and did run, run, pass and didnt gain a yard and had to punt. We can get away with that with the Panthers because Delhomme is not that qb to lead them down the field anymore. However, if we are up by 3 on the Pats with 3 minutes to go, you have to try to win it on O. You cant give them the ball back in that situation.
