Also, going for it on 4th and what, 5,6 with over 9 minutes left? Just not a percentage NFL move. You have to take the field goal and trust your D in that situation.

What advantage does being 10 points down vs. 13 give you?


It's a slight advantage in distance and time when you can tie with a TD and FG.
Bingo.
How much better would 23-20 look to you Bears fans right now?

yeah, i almost shat whenever i heard joe theismann say that the bears HAD to go for it. i was like, "bullshit! there's over 9 minutes left... the defense has held the cardinals to only 3 points the whole half... you kick that fieldgoal and get some points. it's better than nothing." sure enough, the bears wasted time, the ball, and forfeit points.

Hindsight is 20-20. :p

I understood why they went for it at the time, but yes, I can certainly see the other side of the argument as well.

Argh. Rexman has 4 INTS, 2 fumbles, and they are only 6 points down with 5 minutes to go. Just to show that the Cardinals still aren't a legitimate playoff team.
