I would pass, do a fake to the running back then a shuffle pass to the tight end who is is the endzone. If it works, you win the game, but if it doesn't then you would probably have just enough time try one last play. Its a win-win situation. But if you run, you risk not getting it and running down the clock. The defense will be expecting a bull rush run so they will have all their guys on the line of scrimmage attacking the rb while the te is in the back of the endzone doing a little dance. If you run, their whole team will be on top of the rb in three seconds, and unless we can resurect Jerome, no one can stand that, and there will be no time left for enother play. Disagree? Lets throwdown!

The defense always assumes you're going to run the ball in a situation like this, that's why my plan is good: The element of surprise.

They expect you to run the ball, so no one will give a $h!t where the TE or WR ar. Just put them on the line and pretend they will block for you, and while the defense is scrambling to tackle the RB just throw to the TE/WR. Heck, make the RB a third option, and make another TE wait before going out so no one will be on him. Thats five throwing options for the one or two defenders staying back to handle. One must be open.

In your third paragraph you say that one must trust his/her offensive line that close, so therefore your points in the second paragraph are moot. According to your theory, the blocking will not break down and the QB wont waste any time shoveling to one of four or five guys. You are perfectly right: In a situation like this, one must rely on his/hers OL to seal the deal.

You are right that in a normal situation two of the fthree things during a pass are bad, but here only one of the things are the end of the world. If it is intercepted, then the game is over, but in that is unlikely if you shovel it inside or pass outside

It would be extremely difficult for the two defenders in the back to cover absolutely everyone. And if it is an incomplete, one still has another play to go at it.

You laugh at my arguments and yet do not came out with any of your own. The only thing that i gathered from your last argument is that you are not a very happy person. It is true that normaly the offense will run and the defense will try to stop the run. That is usually what happens down there. But once in a while a team will throw it, and usually it works. I never said to send one guy that way and another that way, but that would be a good plan. It would confuse the guys in the back, and one simple pump fake will send them every which way and all one must do is do a simple shovel pass. If the team is forced to have to do a last-ditch effort in the dying seconds, then they are flawed anyway, and why is having creativity bad? Unless they have a moving mountain for a rb the chances are not all that good of getting it across the goalline.

All your last argument did is try to insult me in a few various ways, but at least I have an argument, and none of your petty insults and name-calling will change that, 'buddy'.
