You assume he valued getting a TD significantly more than he did making sure they had a chance to score 7, were likely to score 3, and were extremely likely not to let Indy score at all.

He should value scoring TDs more than any of the other things.

not necessarily-- it's a risk/reward calculation
less chance of getting a TD and the one scenario you don't want is trying for a TD, failing and leaving the other team time to score... especially when your defense is less than stellar in prevent situations
Trying for a TD has the lowest chance of success. Keeping the other team from scoring has the higest (sic). You setting up a scenario where you will have an excellent chance for a score of some kind and you will use most of the clock is good situational football, unless you think it's your last, best chance to score the winning points.

....which was clearly the case against Cinci, and more than likely (turned out to be the case) against Seattle

perhaps, Swiss... but the situation in question is Indy.

Wasn't following.
End of half? Yes, not unusual for teams to hedge their bets. I had no issue with how Tomlin played the clock prior to the 2-min. mark.

Makes me want to sit down next to the fire with some Baileys and a piping hot cup of Swiss Miss.
or to sit down next to some Swiss Misses and a piping hot cup of Baileys?
One piping hot Swiss Miss is good enough for the Drummer Boy.

You shouldn't talk about Swissvale's wife that way.
