It certainly wouldnt be a popular call and outside of Belichick it would be pretty rare to see a coach actually go for it, but I do think several coaches would at least bring the guys on the field and try to draw the defense offsides. Not really taking sides here since I see it both ways, but I do understand why you'd at least bring the offense on the field on a 4th and inches there.

Considering the stats and points that people put up in this game, using the "not enough time" argument doesn't really seem realistic to me. You've got people in the other league who will argue that a 21 point lead with 3 minutes left in the game isn't "safe" and that's why it's ok to keep passing the ball. It can't work both ways.
