Did Anyone Else Want to Go for it on 4th and 6 on the Last Drive?

So you were happy with settling for 3 right there and giving Brady the ball back with that time and a timeout needing a FG to win? And this was not a chip shot FG and with a shaky FG.

Again, losers settle for FGs. Winners score TDs. We settle for FGs way too often and lose.

Take the lead or possibly lose the game right there? Thats a no-brainer.

The way Sewerline was kicking, a 47 yarder is not a high percentage play. Got lucky he made it, or the Cowboys would have lost the game right there too.

If you don't trust your kicker to make a 47-yard field goal, you need a new kicker.

4th and 1 or 2 = go for it
4th and 6 for the lead = kick the fg

You have to take the points. You need to be better on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down. You have to think about it, but also remember what happened on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd down.
Take the lead, even though you pretty much know the outcome.

At the time, kicking it was the right decision.
Really doesn't matter, though. The Bucs were in position to either kick a field goal or score a touchdown - whatever they needed for a victory.

I did. I get in a vacuum, that move is labeled as stupid. But when you factor everything going on, it really was not. For one, Brady is on the other side. With plenty of time and a timeout. And only needing a FG to win it. Also factor in this defense. They can't cover and get no pressure. Not to mention we have a very shaky kicker with little confidence. All we needed was one more first down on that drive to bleed the clock way down and leave TB with no timeouts and little to no time left. And keep pushing the ball down the field. TB was not stopping our offense most the night. Especially with their injuries that happened.

Playing for the FG was the loser move. Most of us knew that game was over then. Brady was going to jam the ball down our throats and win the game. Heck they could have easily scored a TD if they wanted but they conceded for a FG at the end.

4th and 6 was extremely manageable to pick up last night.

No you take the FG there. The first FG on 4th and 3 though was a different story.

I wanted to kick the fg because I felt it was the right call.. although I was nervous as he'll about kicking based off of previous kicks.. I wanted to atleast take the lead. What ppl fail to realize is that if we would have scored that also doesn't mean we win the game. The only reason Tampa kicked a fg is because that's all they needed. If they needed a td to win whose to say they wouldn't have score a TD

During the game I said we were playing for 2 plays on 3rd down. We got stoned on 3rd and I knew we wouldn't try on 4th.
