…like The Beef eviscerates.

He’s certainly playing for the next one. Which begs the question: what’s the best case scenario for Prince’s next job?

How are teams going to learn clock management if they’re never down 30 points late in a game?

…there was really no topping what he did two years ago, but this was as close as you can get. I did LOVE Pinkel having Patton throw deep on the second-to-last play. Of course, I’d have also called timeout with 0:04 left, but that’s just me… :-)

provided he does it at the end of the 3rd quarter and not the end of the 4th. There is nothing to be gained by turning a 5 TD loss into a 3 TD loss with 90 seconds left. He does this 15 minutes earlier, he’s not a chance to get back into the game.

You can’t even really say that he did it to get meaningful reps for his 2nd and 3rd string because
1. What does he care? He won’t be here next year.
2. Is it meaningful when the game has been out of reach for 10 minutes and you’re playing against 3rd stringers?

I agree with The Boy that I was happy to see Patton bomb one out. As much as I would have loved seeing Patton get 2 TDs in one game (and one career), I would have loved even more connecting on that pass, running it to the 1 yard line and kneeling the ball. Let the clock run out while the players all glare at Ron Prince on the sidelines.
