Not gonna lie, in real time I wanted to go for it. The defense was gassed, we had one timeout. I figured the Bears were going to score anyways.

If we didn't get it, at least they would score quicker and we'd have more time on offense.

I'm not going to question Dan though. Right now he's Coach of the Year. He's doing more with less than Dan Campbell.

No. Punting is the wrong move. The article covered it pretty well. We were extremely fortunate the Bears coaches and players are unfocused.

I wanted to go for it at the time for his exact logic. I also understand hat people are far too conservative in their thinking.

good points. To be truthful i didn't have the balls to go for it. I figured we were stopping Caleb and the defense was playing well. I understand going for it was a good decision also. If we got a FG on that drive, we go up 8. Bears had 3 time outs and the 2 minute warning.

It was fourth and like an inch from our ten. I would have definitely gone for it. Tush push all the way.

Ultimately won the game. From an execution (players) and play calling (KK) standpoint, this was a poor game. You cannot KILL every game with exceptional execution or play calling and we are not giving back the win!

I think we should have gone for it . They can score from the 10 just as easily (then). As they could from the 40, because the defense was spent ( and they played their hearts out )

I am sure JD5 ‘s gangling ass could stretch for those few inches
