We got zero yards on 3 tries. We had 3 timeouts plus a 2 minute. Why not try to run at least once. We’d been successful to that point. The time wasn’t as much a factor as scoring a TD. Had we simply gotten inside the 4?  Would we have tried it then? We left the ball in the deep weeds on a hill 100 feet from the hole with a crosswind.I watched many professional NFL athletes  debate that play and not 1 of them said it would’ve been smart. That did sway my opinion some. If you miss that pretty much game over instantly because of limited time. Now had they had 4:15 on the clock?  Totally different odds. I respect you’re boldness though.The only reason I’d side with you? is you get (possibly) 2 chances. You get a bonus chance if you will.1. 4th down (guaranteed chance)2. Play field position if you get stopped at the 3 yard line etc.. get your 3 n out. Then you’d get the ball back near midfield with 1 minute no timeouts. Kicking a FG gave us no guaranteed chance at a TD try.</blockquote>
