I'm admittedly miffed by the post-game conference. Harbaugh was asked about the last play of the game wherein they huddled while unaware of the time ticking down. The prior play was upsetting enough in that T.J. Watt blew by Austin Howard, Flacco rolled to the opposite side because of Watt, even glancing back in the process, yet was somehow still unable to throw the ball away in time prior to the sack-fumble. But you still have time for something afterwards, anything. We've seen far less improbable efforts than a quick 20 yard completion to the boundary to set up a lengthy FG attempt. Likely? No. Especially with the time crunch. But it's far from outright impossible. So I personally find it infuriating to hear the HC write it off as, "You know, at that point of time, what was it, 8 seconds left in the game? I mean, did the game turn on that, you think? I don't think so." You what, mate? Of course it didn't. But it could have. That's kind of the issue, John.
Taking Harball at Face Value, he's a nimrod for suggesting the game was not in the balance even at that point. In my opinion however he's deflecting an issue that implies poor coaching. I am going to be so relieved when his tired old hide is heading out.
