The running back was needed because our offensive line was getting trucked most of the game so I can understand why he was kept in.
I had more of an issue with the playaction element to the play itself. Everyone in the stadium and watching on TV knew the linebackers wouldn't respect the playaction element on that play. Lee could have used an extra second in order to ACTUALLY survey the field in order to find an open receiver instead of having to carry out a play fake. Langsdorf doesn't have a good feel for the game and I have said that for the last couple of years.
Simply unreal.
