I’m fine with it on the two yard line.

Only hesitation would be that you got stuffed two plays in a row before it.

But I don’t understand the announcers saying a FG does nothing for them there…he said it when they were still at the 30 yard line…

You needed 3 yards to tie it and there’s under 3 minutes now. They get a stop and they’ll get the ball back around midfield.

it was the right call and totally respect the decision.

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

but would MUCH rather a coach who isn't scared to play the game of football and go for it in a situation like that vs playing the "safe" / coward / pussy ball and kick.

Theyve done this what 3 times in scoring range? It adds up. Going for it on 4th in most situations is retarded. This isn't fricken Madden.

How many points has Chicago left on the field today going for it on 4th? I have 6-9 points.

Dumbass shite.

I’m fine with it. But those were horrific play calls. Three runs and a drop back pass.

So just leave 9 points on the field then?

It’s so stupid. They have passed on 9 points. Should be 19-17 right now.

You want them to make a one score game a one score game with 3 mins to go? No thanks.

Stafford looks awful and McVay crappy play calling.
