College, high school, and lower is a different story. Also, when the Patriots have gone for it on fourth down, the times I can remember were not goal line situations. So by getting a first down they could continue to run down the clock, which is more valuable than three points when a team is up by four or five touchdowns, plus there's no risk of a field goal being blocked and run back for a TD. And if some of them WERE goal line situations...so what. If they fail to make it, the other team is having to throw the ball out of its own end zone, instead of a kickoff that could potentially be returned well beyond the 20 yard line and maybe even much farther than that. It's sound strategy, as far as I'm concerned.</blockquote>
