You should always always go for it inside the opponents' 10 on 4th and 2 (barring the obvious end-of-game situations). Teams don't do it, but it doesn't make it right to kick the FG there. And in this game, when you're a huge underdog, it's an absolute no-brainer.

When you have a QB as inept as Brock Osweiler you don't put it on him to get those 2 yards unless you have no other choice. I'm sure they're happy they took the 3 there.

Not this year Patriots. Easiest Sched in the league and they haven't been tested.

That's exactly the point. When you have as poor an offfense as they do, how many chances are you going to get down there? You can't let those precious opportunities get away with only 3 against a potent offense like the Patriots. Sure, you might not make it, but you have to adopt high-risk high-reward strategies if you don't just want to get slowly ground down. "Keeping the game close" is not a virtue.

Note that they've been given two gifts in the last 10 minutes, and they're still behind. They need to do more.
