When it was 21-3 late in the 3rd or early 4th qtr and a good drive was down to 4th and 3 or 4 from about the 6 yard line Kirk decided to go for it.
My immediate thought was a high percentage field goal conversion puts the hawks at 21-6 which is basically down 2 scores. Where as a much lower percentage 4th down conversion and a potential TD would have put the score at 21-10 which is still down by 2 scores.
I was hoping for the FGoal and then pray for a turnover or something and MAYBE a TD to get the score to 21-17. Your thoughts on this for a future situations?
