With Romo, he goes for it.

How about not going for it against the Patriots the ONE time we managed to get in scoring territory?

I wanted to go for it also.

Punt. It was dumb because if we stop them there we basically win the game.

yeah it was a big risk by the Chipper. It worked out for him because we suck on D but when we stopped them, I was clapping saying at least we get the ball back. Oops

No doubt in my mind Garrett pints that.

Grammar police alert:

He would have gone for it.

vs.

He went for it.

What got me upset is that they ran the ball out of the shotgun formation. I remember Collinsworth making a remark that said Kelly is not going to run this out of the shotgun is he? He appeared to be a little surprise that Kelly was going too.

Against that DL, and at home, he probably punts it. And that's the right decision there. If I'm Chip, on the road and against our DL after the success they'd had in the 2nd half, I go for it there. The situations aren't the same.

People forget the times we do go for it, like earlier in the PHI game. We just don't do it often in our own territory.
