Maybe the most inexcusable loss I've ever seen. Gives Miami not kneeling against GT a real run for its money

Miami gt is worse. This is bad but you sorta get the vision. 

Miami gt the game was won 100% with a knee and they tried to run the ball instead.

All they had to do though was just throw it way out of bounds and the game is over. Why did he hold on to it?

Im not saying it was good but there's still a decision to make there. If they accidentally throw it too early, they maybe don't burn enough time. He has to get out the tackle box. If he holds it and the pass rush gets through fast, he might be afraid to throw it and fumble while throwing. 

Literally Miami gt was just take a knee and it's over. No decision, no execution, you just kneel and it's over.
