SO why didn't we kick the field goal?

[Zod]

Seriously. Timeouts left. Almost 3:00 the clock. Down 8. 4th and 10?

Easy decision, kick the field goal.

fucking stupid coaching.

[Kevin Greene]

I suppose you'd have to be confident you'd get the ball again and score.

[IRONMAN]

Not to mention the clock mismanagement on that last drive before halftime.

I really thought of all the times Fox would have been conservative, that would have been it.

Should have taken the easy three points. You've got to hold the defense either way.

He was basically trading field position for a 2 point conversion. Given the o line push we got today I'd bank on the 2 point conversion too.

Are you serious? Even if we kick the field goal you would still end up in a haily mary situation. If we did kick the field goal you'd probably be pissed that we didn't go for it. Our 3rd down defense is to blame for today's loss.

This.

At the time, I thought going for it was the right decision, b/c I figured our defense wasn't stopping them and at least it would keep them even more conservative on offense by keeping them deep in their own territory.

In hindsight, the way our defense finally decided to play after we turned it over, I would've kicked the FG. Woulda, Should, Coulda...

It was because our defense looked like $hit today and even John Fox knew it so you have to go for it...plain and simple. I agree one bad ass cat but lets not forget about our not so special teams.. a blocked punt and why the hell could rhys llloyd not get it into the endzone in a damn dome.. when the atlanta guy was doing it every kick!

[tarheelblue89]

We still would have needed a TD, our D never proved they could stop them in a short amount of time.

I agree with the call to go for it

[cptx]

yep. shoulda took the sure points instead of relying on the 2 point conversion

[robtrox0]

I knew fox being a fat twat before halftime would bite the team in the ass... good riddance when u get fired after the season u bum.

What football game were you watching? If we got the field goal we would have had to score another touchdown. I really don't understand what you're talking about.
