Why is play calling so unimaginative in goal-to-go situations?

[No coincidences]

It's amazing to me how stubborn these teams get when they are a few yards from the end zone. I realize the number of plays you can run are limited, but these teams with complicated offenses seem to be completely and utterly baffled by what they should do once the defense is all stacked at the line of scrimmage. It just completely handcuffs them for some reason.

Naked bootleg anyone?

More play action
More motion
Bringing in an extra Tackle instead of your 3rd TE
Bring in a DT as your full back

I agree

Anything.

Playbooks are hundreds of pages these days, yet in goal-to-go's, coaches stand around scratching their heads acting like they've never thought of an alternative before.

Same with 4th and short, as we just saw in the Ravens/Pats game.

Unreal how stupid these coaches get. Run a naked bootleg, play action, etc. and not only do you get a first down, but probably much more. Instead, they try to pound it right at the heart of the defense and -- surprise, surprise -- get stuffed.

Its a rigged league like NBA
