Should Tannehill Have Taken the Sack?

[BahamaFinFan78]

On our offense's last third down, when Ryan rolls out, it's thrown and incomplete, should he have just lost four yards on the sack and kept the clock running? That's kinda what I was thinking when he rolled out and saw the defender chasing him down.

The Lions kept that timeout pretty much until the end. They had SO MUCH time. He tried to win the game. I don't fault him for that.

I thought the same thing. But it sounds easier when you watch a game. Would it have been better? Probably. Maybe.
But I cannot put that decision on Tannehill as wrong. He was trying to get a first down. The last thing he is thinking of are all the scenarios if he just takes the sack.

Lions didn't even use that timeout so answer is NO

The point actually was that if he would have taken the sack the clock either keeps on running or they would take the time out. The incompletion stopped the clock by default.

NO, there was too much time..3 30 and 3 mins is the same when theynhave timeouts

The Charles Clay drop or non catch was the decider. You can't put this loss on the D. It's on the offense. The missed Wallace Pass and The Clay Drop. That's 11 pts.

Absolutely not. You go for the first down. Tannehill almost got it but he being hit while throwing.

Yes instead of almost throwing another int forcing the ball
