Going for the TD instead of 3 (down by 6, going for 3 had to be tempting) and then going for it on 4th and inches! WOW just WOW,

I thought the 4th down attempt for the TD was clearly the right call. I wasn’t so sure about the decision at the end of the game. I could see both sides. It was one of those decisions that’s a good one if it works, a bad one if it doesn’t.

If we had not made a first down and they take over at midfield and win with FG, even CBB would have trouble surviving that.

I think it an indicator of lack of trust in our D. JMHO

I agree, I wanted to go for the TD. On the second one, I told my wife “you have to punt it here. Sure it is game over if you make it, but it is almost game over if you don’t make it.”

Great call if it works. HORRIBLE call if it didn’t.

I had more confidence that the offense could get a few inches than the defense could prevent a field goal.

This. My sentiments exactly.

Perfect example of playing to win, instead of playing not to lose. Get a few inches you win the game.
If you punt, the “prevent” defense so many times gives up a score and you lose.
