You wouldn't have kicked it on 4th down? I would have.

You're about 5 yards to go...you're better off taking your chance at being able to score a TD there and then getting the onside kick and only needing at 15 yards to get into field goal range.

Essentially by kicking the field goal, you're requiring yourself to drive 50 yards. Going for the TD, you're requiring yourself to get about 20 to 25 yards (5 yards for the TD, ~15 yards to get into field goal position off an onside kick). I'd rather take the lesser yards.

Possibly, but it shouldn't have been an issue. They should have kicked the ball with a minute and a half to go to make it a one score game, then go for the TD

The Rams are pretty good... but if we can get a win 3-1 going into the Packers would be huge... 4-1 going into the bye would be "huger" (is that a word?)
It's hard to tell. Lost to the Skins at home, game not as close as score and beat the Niners and Colts who both stink.
