Quote from jnbadger:
6 minutes in the NFL is a very long time,
If you go for it and don't get it, you're giving Seattle a chance to make it a 2 score game.
Not the way the game was progressing.
Seattle was getting that same chance anyway, after the 3 pts fieldgoal. Their lead was 4 pts and they were on the offense.
And anyway, what is the guarantee that NO doesn't end up the same way at the end of their next offense? Close to the endzone with a 4th down, but with way less time remaining???
I can understand when teams go for the kick in the 1st quarter, plenty of time remaining in the game but when the math says you should take the risk, take the risk. Pure trading by the way...
