You are arguing in circles and, quite honestly, I think you have lost sight
of my original contention (if you ever had sight of it in the first
place)... So please do me the courtesy of answering this one question:

You're Coach Cowher, there's 1:30 left in the game, 1st and goal from the 4.
Do you:

A) Do everything you can to score on each and every play, or
B) Run the ball on first down with the intent of not scoring, so as to run
down some clock
