I apologize if this has come up elsewhere, didn't see it.
Here is the boxscore (GML Wk 1 -JAX v GB)
http://football.simdynasty.com/boxscore.jsp?boxscoreid=11839&thid=1165&qtr=4
Check out the 4th Quarter -- JAX gets the ball into GB territory with 1 minute to go tied 13-13, to the opponent's 23 yard line, clear FG range. Time to sit on the ball and get a bit closer with the run, right? Wrong!
JAX 1/10 GB 23 1st and 10 for the Stench, they line up in a I Formation; the Smack Down line up in a 4-3.
Shane Matthews takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.
Matthews passes to Chris Doering at the GB 12.
The ball is caught at the GB 12 by Chris Doering.
Doering is ruled out of bounds at the point of the catch.
Pass by Shane Matthews intended for Chris Doering is incomplete.
00:54. GB 23 2nd and 10 for the Stench, they line up in a Pro Set; the Smack Down line up in a 4-3.

00:48. 3/10 GB 23 3rd and 10 for the Stench, they line up in a Pro Set; the Smack Down line up in a 4-2-5 Nickel.
Shane Matthews takes the snap and drops back into the pocket.

Matthews passes to Reidel Anthony at the GB 4.

What in the world is the idea of passing in that spot at all? Could I have set it up differently on my 2 minute offense?
(Game is in OT).
Thanks
