The situation is this:
You are down 10-17 with 4:22 left in the game and you face a 4th down and 6 from the 27 yrd line.
You have 3 time outs left!
Do you go for it or do you kick the field goal?
I would go for it in this situation everytime!
Here's why: you kick FG and then hold them and get ball back, you still have to score a TD. The field goal in this siotuation is absolutly meaningless.
Outcome:
Jacksonville calls a time out and then kicks FG. LMFAO
They get the ball back with less than a minute left on their own 20 and end up throwing a hail mary pass from the 48 as time expired.
JAC gave away a TO that cost them 30-45 seconds and they lost an opportunity to score an easier TD from the 27 instead of 48.
So you future coaches out there, don't be a dummy. 4th and 6 at the 27 and 4:22 to go is much better than 1st and 48 and 1 second remaining.
The Jags coach should be fired for that debacle
