Dak was been weak all game and you don’t kick the field goal?

[Mobinvans]

Someone enlighten me why you wouldn’t kick the field goal for the win?

 

[Adiba1977]

Go for the win. Rodgers is gonna score td

 

[Coogiguy03]

Well we're paying him 40 million, maybe on a drive we will get a 39 million dollar play??

I called going for it before third down so I agree with going for it. A missed fg was a big possibility that still would not have won the game.

Going for it was the right decision - a long FG there was not a gimme and you still don't win even if you make it. But the playcalling on 3rd down was horrible if they knew it was going to be 4-down territory. They could have tried something safer to pick up a few yards...then if it's 4th and short then you have the entire playbook open to do something.

Going for it is fine, but Pollard was ripping off 7 yard runs, we should have ran.

Getting 3 forces Green Bay to score and forces them to score 6 to win. It was an egregiously bad call given how the game was going. Once again, no one on the coaching staff has any feel for the game.

Probably bc "was been".

If i had to guess.

The odds of making a 53 yard field goal with a kicker who can kick 63 and made 58 in pre-game has to be better than converting 4th and 4 with a very average QB.

 

[droopdog7]

Going for it was 100% the right call

You fail to see the whole equation. Even if he does make it, whcuh if you saw his kickoffs was low percentage, the game still isn’t over. GB probably comes back and scores a td anyway.

PAYING 40 MILLION TO A QB TO PLAY FOR A FG ?

nice ...

bottom line , if dak cant make 4 yards ,,, BENCH HIM.

I would have gone for it 100/100

Because Dak is the bestest of all time and at $40M/year average can easily lead the team to the win....oh wait.

Nah
Analytics definitely favored going for it
Kick doesn’t win you the game

Maher wasn't making FGs from that distant before the game.....neither was Crosby for the Packers......a FG was no give me.....plus you dont give Rogers the ball back....with a piss poor defense that sucked it up all night long...... MM new his defense couldn't stop Rogers

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

we needed 4 YARDS .

a 40 Million QB can make 4 yards .

 

[bewp7]

$40,000,000 a season does not go so far any more i guess lol

 

[nightrain]

Maher couldn't even KO into the endzone. It was a bad look to see him roasting his feet on the turbo heater.

Even if we convert the 4th, it's fairly likely we still just end up with a FG try.

*Not* going for it let them win with a FG of their own instead of just tie. Which they did.
