    With only 12 seconds left and no timeouts at the Miami 16 yard line, Rodgers decides to ad lib and throw the ball towards the sideline to rookie receiver Devante Adams (vs spiking it to stop the clock). Adams did not know the ball was coming his way. With a Miami defender awaiting him 5 yards away, the defender stupidly allowed him to continue on a path towards the sideline instead of forcing him back inside towards other Miami defenders awaiting to tackle him.

    It would have been arguably the most bone headed play of Rodgers' career had the Miami player just did what he should be taught to do in that game situation.

    Dan Marino did the same thing and it worked for him too. TD to Irvin Fryer

    It didn't though, the play after won it. And that play would have worked from the 12 yard line as well. That was a huge gamble. It's one of those things that had it been done at LSU man the fanbase would have lost it's collective shit if it didn't work, and if it had, you'd see mad hatter bumper stickers and shirts and #fearthehat shit would be all over the place. He got really lucky.

    Since Skip Bayless went viral over the call, that automatically tells me it was a brilliant move.

    Imagine that rookie receiver stupidly turns up field and gets tackled at the 5 yard line. Wow. This wasn't Jordy Nelson we're talking about.

    Some men have a pair. Some don't. Skip doesn't and if you agree with him, well . . . . . . .
