Going for it on 4th and inches and there's a very good chance that you make it and completely avoid RWBS.

You kick that field goal, and you guarantee that Russell Wilson gets the ball make it or miss it.

Against anyone else (except Mahomes and maybe Brady) you go for it. Against Wilson you absolutely play the 8 point lead and avoid RWBS losing the game for you.

going for it on 4th? absolutely.

not doing a QB sneak? lmao

though with Kirk running the sneak it probably would have ended up being fumbled or something

The playcall was poo poo tho. Just loving sneak it.

E: I dont understand why teams always go for the handoff instead of the sneak. Its basically guaranteed to get the refs to give you the spot

Why would you want to guarantee that you put the ball back in Wilsons hands with a chance to tie? That doesn’t make any sense. You want to keep him off the field.

Overtime is instantly a different outcome.

Edit- Or you kick the extra point in the 3rd, and then kick the filed goal and you're up 9.

yeah this is what they should have done, but I don't think the Vikings would have won in Overtime. That's why I said it wouldn't have made a difference if they were up by 8 points or not

e: didn't realize they were down by two at the time, lol of course they should have gone for two.

You mean, kick the extra point when your down by two?

That's even dumber.

The TD brought the game from

13 - 21 to 19 - 21.

Kicking the XP there is real dumb.

Well they didn't make the 2pt conversion so the Vikings would've won. At worst you give yourself a chance to win the OT coin toss and end the game before Wilson can get the ball again
