From an offensive perspective, three things can happen when you pass. Two of them are bad.
1. Completion
2. Incomplete Pass
3. Interception
I could have cared less who won that football game, but anyone who ever played a down of football, and even the dallas cowboy cheerleaders know that if you have less than 60 seconds left in a ball game, and you have the ball on the plus 2 yard line, you don't pass.
Jeez. You gonna drag out that old quote that George S. Halas uttered nearly a century ago?
That's some up-to-date football wisdom there, bro!!
That trendy, newfangled football wisdom has got OkOk dangling from this ceiling fan right about now.
Seriously though, I'll admit to tyrannosaurus inclinations, where football is concerned.
Halas wisdom is timeless.....
Y'all's a buncha dinosaurs... I played safety, and there's a whole buncha other possible outcomes from a pass play:
4. Receiver will blow a snot-bubble while coughing up the ball.
5. Receiver will pee blood for a week after coughing up the ball.
6. Receiver will leave the game after coughing up the ball.
... I could go on...
