I was also dismayed when I saw Cobb start to throw that lateral. But if it had worked, we all would be saying that it was a "great. gutsy call" at that time. Thinking back a few weeks we had fake FG and a fake punt and the both worked fine. If either of them had failed, it would have given the other team great field position and we would all be saying MM should have pinned them back with a punt instead of the fakes. If this lateral had worked, Ross would have had a wide open field to run for perhaps a TD or perhaps some very good yardage. He just had to catch the ball!
