You can try any low percentage play and say afterwards "but if it had succeeded".

In fact, it's a great excuse to ignore percentages. If it succeeds, he's a genius. If it fails, if it had succeeded he'd be a genius.

Running a crossing route into a packed defense is a low percentage, high risk play. Like Emmitt said, even if it had succeeded, it was still dumb because it ignored percentages and situations.
