But the decision is not the same all the time. If I am playing New Orleans at home e.g. yes. If I am in Minnesota or KC in that situation then kick it. Weigh the defensive opponent, weigh your offense, weigh where the game is being played. It is not all things equal.One of the worst managed game situations was in the 2003 playoff game in Philly. Ahman Green ran from midfield to the Eagle 5 at the 2:00 warning of the 1st half. He had asthma so he had to come out for a play or two. Sherman opted for a right toss to Bubba Franks. But with Green on the bench and no play action Favre could not connect. 3 more runs and we get stopped. Should have taken the points.On the other hand with a little more than 2 minutes in the 4th quarter and a 3 point lead we have a 4th and 2-3 yards and on the cusp of a long FG. Longwell was not a 50 plus kicker in January. So Sherman punts. The difference? The Eagles defense was gashed by our running game and exhausted by then. Most likely they could not stop us there unless we have a false start. A first down and the game is over. In the first half they still had juice in the tank. The punt went into the end zone. Sherman thought since our defense sacked McNabb 11 times they could close it out.</blockquote>
