Top 10 Gambles Gone Wrong 

I remember that game...all defensive players were required to wear blinders due to a rare weather condition.

I didn't see that game in the video

That's nothing. 2016 Pitt beat Syracuse 76-61 in regulation.

It was at least an exciting game. Prime RG3.

Two things you have to know about that game. A lot of the teams play styles are suited towards their conference opponents, and each conference basically runs their own schemes. Bowl games get like that because they're playing against someone who runs an offense and defense they aren't used to

One of the best defense during the BB era and you go for it instead of punting. Still baffled.

​@@Shatamx I watched this so long ago I had forgotten what #1 was. Kind of expected Iron Bowl 2013 to make the list.

this was actually a list that came out in 2012. i caught that at 0:15

oh that makes sence

ashdude55 h

sence? lol

Cole Perry agreed. That should be number one.

If you had money on the other team winning it's a very smart decision. lol

To get the wind on your back

Idk. Im a Lions fan but that was the shittiest decision ever.

I was at that game and the wind was pretty bad. It was good 20-25 MPH gusts all throughout the game so it's at least understandable. However don't give the team that just scored two touchdowns in 3 minutes the ball first in overtime. People forget the Bears overcame two touchdowns and an onside kick to win.

It was actually before the kneel-down was invented.

Mr. Gentlezombie thats not true it just wasnt used as much until that play.

@steve b No, QBs couldn't be downed until they were touched, so the defense would have a free shot at the QB. Not great.

It was under 2 minutes. Only official reviews

It was reviewed. It was upheld. I watched it live bud. They called it short on the field. Reviewed it, and the call STOOD. Was irrefutable evidence.

I love that company. The peace keepers of the world. They are so noble, that their product protect gutless cowards, too.

This play, more than anything, gave the victory formation credibility.

Dale JR is Scottin away isn’t he

That is only a borderline gamble. True gambles are things like faking a PAT and then going for 2, running a play at the end of the game when taking a knee allows you to win the game, not pitting when you know you are going to run out of gas, deferring in OT, going for a touchdown in OT passing up a tying field goal, keeping a tired pitcher in the game against a pretty good hitting team, going for it on fourth and inches deep in your own territory, changing goal keepers for the shootout, going for a touchdown near the end of a tie game rather than settling for a go-ahead field goal, selecting your driver when you have been missing with it all day, and of course, #1, under-bribing the refs so they rob you of an obvious first down at the most critical point in a game (p.s. Go Rams).

Not anymore lol

fair enough, but often you'll see managers stay with their guy... sometimes it pays off and sometimes it bites you in the ass, but either way, if your guy says I want this, then sometimes you gotta just say okay and go with it and believe that he'll get the job done

I def see where your coming from though, if my guy was up to 105 id probably pull him too tbh

капіталістычны ok didn't know. Thanks.

Wasnt a gamble
