But then again, when Bellichick went for it last season at his own 30 yrd line on 4th and 1 in the final 2 minutes against the Colts, I thought he made the right call as well.
In the Cowboys current situation, with nothing to play for, I think you always err on the side of agression.
The thing is, if we go for it we are just forcing the Colts to make one play to win it, whereas if we take the lead they are going to have to put together a drive's worth of plays to win it. The most important thing is the lead because without it we were sure of losing, adn with it we had at least something of an advantage.
