Who cares? Even if we converted it, this team would have done something else dumb to make sure they’d lose.

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

Kick means *they* don't win the game with a kick either.

You've run the monte carlo simulation for whether to kick or not in OT, have you? Please share the results.

Lets face it. The defense wasnt slowing the Packer running game. I agree with going for the win, but you run the ball twice instead of throwing it twice. Pollard was averaging 5 yards a carry and Gavis 7 YPC and you throw the ball twice?

I had no problem going on 4th and what 4 . If the zebras weren’t afraid to thrown a flag on an obvious PI play before would have been no 4th down . Draw plays worked all game . And yet …..

Someone enlighten me why you wouldn’t kick the field goal for the win?
Because a FG is not an automatic win on the 1st drive, but if you make it then you still have to hold GB out of the end zone, and we weren't doing a good job of that. Cowboys went for the 1st down, going for the TD/win.
Not only that, but if you miss the FG then GB can win with just a FG. That was not an easy decision no matter which way you go.

Even if they make the long FG....Rodgers would have led GB for the winning TD after that. The Cowboys defense was getting shredded by the run and all of a sudden the CBs, Wilson, Kearse and Hooker were not able to cover. Were making Watson look like Adams. They had to go for broke and get a TD in overtime. Playcalling was questionable, too many passes with Dak who was inconsistent, dazed and confused. They did deserve to lose there at the end. Both offense and defense stopped playing after up by 14 in the 4th.
