Interested to see how many people say no.

Not a fair question after the result.

Not a fair question after the result.

Because a tie is a good result?

Because a tie is a good result?

 

Better than losing. No guarantees in football...as seen by that last kick.

 

I would have gone for it, though, because the defense couldn't stop a HS JV team. You play your hot hand, which...ironically, was our offense.

 

We just got lucky and I'm fine with that.

[JJman]

Yes

Because a tie is a good result?

Better than a lost. If we failed on 4th and 1 and lose complete meltdown. Special Teams failed us.

[DawgzLife]

Yeah, last year (how our D was playing), I would've said no. But based on our sieve (I mean D), we should have today.

[AceBoogie]

Roll Cam out, dump it off or run and fall for a yard.

[Squirrel]

Going for the tie was the right play. 

[Guild]

A tie is almost certainly equivalent to a loss.  Rivera should be fired on the basis of this singular decision.  A head coach who doesn't understand the numbers is a worthless coach.

 

SO OF fuging COURSE YOU GO FOR THE WIN AND IF YOU LOSE OH WELL AT LEAST YOU TRIED TO WIN WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE

[Lumps]

Nope. We did go for it on second down and hit Cotchery in the damn head. That's a good a chance as the players are going to get.

 

I am glad we didn't.

[HP59]

With the amount of time on the clock, and the way the D had been playing...absolutely.

[mc52beast]

I just can't see them stopping Cam on 4th and 1... Ron must not have been watching the same pourous defense that everyone else saw.

[Lumps]

Also, to point out there was enough time that a 3 and out would have gave us the ball on the 30/40 and we could have won with a FG at that point.
