Social media has had some complaints of “going for it” today. One of the common references was the turnover on downs.
One thing theyve been saying is that DC needs to just learn to take the points.
But by their logic, since you cant predict a 4th down conversion, we should have taken the points on the other one too.
So in turn we wouldve had 6 points, instead of splitting the conversion for 7.
You cant really argue and say, well they shouldve kicked the FG on the first and not the second… but of course people will fond things to complain about.
On 4th and 5 at the 30 odd yars line early in the game where Monty ran for a first down, the correct call was to take the points and kick a field goal. Down in the RZ he was obviously committed to going for it again and I had no issue with that call.
