It was magnificent.
The point is, Shanahan GAVE them the opportunity to do it, when he DIDN'T have to.
Against a lesser team, you might get away with this.
Against a 4 time super bowl (now 5) champion, you don't take unnecessary risks.
You play smart. You don't give them ANY opportunity by making dumb calls.

I understand what you're saying and agree with the scenario you suggested. What I'm saying there are many more scenarios that could have unfolded. Injuries, penalties, fumbles it goes on and on. That's why true champions fight to the end.
