And, given your argument, at what spot on the field should he have not gone for it? On the 20? On the 10? The 1 yard line? According to you (and the yards per pass or rush you quoted), the gamble is the same, no?

i don't get this either. those two teams are playing to get to the superbowl, every year, not to win or not win a game in November.
what the call says is I don't trust my defense, and it will still say that come late December and January. and if he defense can't make a stop he ain't going anywhere anyway.
