Kick is right decision on 4th and 8. If they wanted to go they had to have better play calls to set it up.

You have to have some confidence in your defense at some point.

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
  - 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? * - By Scouser September 20, 2026 at 11:46:26 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
