I hear you but it’s just 3 points. If you make it you get 3 points on your opening drive. If you miss, your opponent is now 2 first downs from 3 points on their opening drive, and that’s if you get a stop.

I’d rather pin a team back and play the field position game. If you give up 2 first downs and get the stop, they are punting and you got another shot at 7 at 0-0.

I just don’t like the shot in the arm your opponent gets from the short field on their first drive...
You say “it’s just 3 points” but then you show concern that a miss could lead to the other team getting 3 points.

I could go either way on the decision. A long FG to get the team a bit hyped early could’ve changed the game too. Guess we’ll never know.

Dallas should be 9-0. Lose to the Jets by 2 . Saints by 2. Packers by 3. Vikings by 4. 11 points separate Dallas from being 9-0 vs. 5-4.... well 15 points.
The Packers score is misleading. We were thoroughly beaten by them. Our scores were desperation scores. We never really challenged the Packers.
But we should be 8-1.

You could argue those three points cost us the game. That decision to try that 57 yard field goal gave the Vikings serious momentum. We have the number 1 offense in the NFL and our coach decides to try a 57 yard field goal. Pathetic!!!! I would have been ok if we went for it on 4th down.

What 3 points? The Vikings led 14-0.

And you still have no idea how the game plays out if Maher makes that FG. He’s generally money on long range kicks, compared to most other kickers.

Percentages. You are unlikely to make a 57 yard field goal and more likely to have the Vikings starting inside the 20. No 57 yard kick is money. This is Maur we are talking about.

He’s 10-15 in his career from 50+. 10-14 before Sunday.

So him missing was actually more unlikely than him making the kick.

That game was mostly non-competitive, which should piss you off.

It was not a smart decision. Nobody thought it was. So stop the argument.

100% false. 10-14 from 50+ entering Sunday.

I’m sorry that you’re not man enough to admit it when facts tell you that you were wrong.
