Please. There was no expert route design there and you know it. We were in desperation mode and the Giants nearly let us off the hook through their own stupidity. Double moves are hardly some revolutionary tactic that are only utilized by the Dallas Cowboys.
We had 2nd and 1 at the 21 with (roughly) 1:20 left on the clock. Even if we had converted the 2 point conversion (a 50/50 prop), the Giants would have got the ball back needing a FG to tie and with all three timeouts.
The only move that even remotely makes sense there is to run the ball. Even if we fail to pick up the first down, we would at least kill some clock and leave the Giants with less time to mount a potential game winning or game trying drive.
God, even Thom Brennaman was smart enough to figure that out, how could it escape Garrett?
Even if we had failed to pick up the first down, running the ball was STILL the proper call.
Garrett was coaching like we had 25 seconds on the clock and no timeouts. He got caught up in the moment and lost sight of the big picture.
Inexcusable for a head coach.
