One of these times, the mistake of scoring instead of taking a knee....

I guess the threshold for a miracle is low these days.

One different bounce on the onsides kick, and they have 24 seconds to score to tie.

Unlikely?  Yes.  Miracle?  Maybe biblical scholars would argue that.

Clearly there are a lot of morons on here.

Scenario A) Greene kneels down at the 1.
Yes, maybe Greene somehow gets injured while kneeling, but highly doubftul since his leg does that type of movement regularly.  Sanchez takes 3 snaps, kneels 3 times & the game finishes.  21-14 Jets.

Scenario B) Greene scores a TD
Patriots get the ball back, drive the field & score a TD.  During all those HARD HITTING plays, the odds of a Jet getting injured is far more likely than Greene kneeling down.  Onside kick, Patriots recover.  Brady gets four hail mary throws in to the endzoen to tie it up.

Which scenario gives the Jets the best possible shot at winning?

  I knew this wasn't going to slip through, seconds after my little finger lifted off the enter key...

What a fn horses ass I am....   I know remember why I never would have made it through law school...     It's like you make your opening statement laying out your case, and the immidately go about tearing it apart with facts....    what a dumbass. 

Here's another % I believe is true 95% to 100% of the stupid embarrasing things I've said in my life come at the bottom 3 fingers of a fifth of Stoli

It might be a "what if" game to you, but the numbers say you are golden if you take a knee.  To the tune of 100%.  It's not rocket science. 

If Cromartie falls on the ball, the Pats still had 2 timeouts..(If im not mistaken)..and 3 stops.. with 2 stoppages.. the Pats still will have some time left..

You’re probably right, but I am so glad he didn’t. I was on the 2nd half over LARGE and if he would have taken a knee at the 1 I might have put my remote through my tv screen.    

So your argument is that it isnt 100%?

OK. Fine.  You win.  It is not 100%.

So, is it still higher than scoring and kicking off?

Should I adjust it to:  go down instead of score 99.9% vs score 98.5%?  Does that make you happy?

I think I have made my point.  It will happen one day, or a major injury will occur because of it.

If you are debating the other side, there is no other answer except you are a mouthbreathing moron who shouldnt be walking the streets alone, much less gambling.

Sorry, there is no middle ground here.  Some things are debatable, this isnt, and if you cant see it - or better yet insist on debating that the sky is yellow instead of blue, have at it.

Well, historically it is 100%.

Can an earthquake stop the game before the second snap?  yes, but I wouldnt gameplan for it.

You are a mouthbreathing moron.  You are debating a point that makes no difference in this debate.  Until you can say that whatever the odds are (if they are not 100%) are LOWER than the odds of scoring, you have no debate.
