***OFFICIAL MNF: Denver at Seattle (+6) (43.5)*** Wilson and Pete Reunited (1 Viewer)

The game clock management, every damn play starting at :00 or close to it, the horrific play calls in the red zone, etc had me furious. I lost it when I saw they were going to kick the FG after wasting 25+ seconds. You send considerable draft capital/players for Wilson and then sign him to a $200M contract and you decide your best option is an NFL league tying FG at sea level, with a kicker who is 1-7 at 60+ yards, instead of trying to convert a 4th and 5 with 45+ seconds left?

Stupidity.

Analytics costs a team a win yet again. Kick the damn FG you idiots.

Is this meant to be sarcastic?

Lets see. Broncos go for it on 4th and goal - fail, zero points. If you kick the FG, you have 3 more points.
Later in the game, Go for it on 4th and goal AGAIN - fail AGAIN, zero points. If you kick the FG, you have 6 more points.
The broncos lost by 1 point. Can you do the math or do you need a calculator?

I think there was only one instance, not twice, but your point is valid.

OK first of all, why so hostile?

Second, literally everyone in this thread was talking about Hackett's controversial late-game decision to attempt a FG, so when you came in, and without any context, said, "Kick the damn FG you idiots", it didn't occur to you that might confuse people?

Third, as others have pointed out, there was only one 4th-down conversion attempt. The second time they had 4th and goal, they did kick the FG (and of course, at the end of the game they had 4th and 5 and kicked.) It kind of boggles my mind that someone could have watched that game and concluded that Hackett's biggest problem was that he was too aggressive.

And finally, if at this point you still don't understand why teams should go for it on 4th and goal from the 1, I'm really not sure what to say to you
