The Victors

The kick was the right call because with 3+ minutes left they could force a three and out and get the ball back. But let's say it's only 1.5 minutes left. Why not go for it? *

• In OT if there's not enough time to get the ball back I would think going for the win and risking a loss would be the way to go, how often does a tiee make the difference between a playoff spot? Maybe I'm wrong but I'd always go for the W. * - By Scouser September 20, 2026 at 11:44:03 PM
  • I’m thinking that’s why it’s better to receive. I get knowing what you need, but having another possession outweighs that.* - By toffee September 20, 2026 at 11:47:18 PM
  • Last year Green Bay made the playoffs at 9-7-1 and Lions missed at 9-8* - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 11:45:29 PM
    • Like I said, I'm sure it doesn't make a difference. Lions hold my beer. Haha. * - By Scouser September 20, 2026 at 11:47:19 PM
  • 4th and 8 at this spot of field is very low percentage. Better to kick and hope for the best * - By BBA September 20, 2026 at 11:45:23 PM

      • Kick is right decision on 4th and 8. If they wanted to go they had to have better play calls to set it up. - By Rich September 20, 2026 at 11:48:07 PM
      • I think math says kick * - By BBA September 20, 2026 at 11:47:00 PM
  • well it’s not like Mahomes is very likely to move the ball downfield * - By ajs September 20, 2026 at 11:45:14 PM
    • May be an argument for going for the TD, milk the clock and take that opportunity away from him. * - By Scouser September 20, 2026 at 11:57:02 PM
