Isn't that more of a show of confidence to the defense? That if they fail, he's ok with the short field

That's also a possibility I suppose. Just curious as to what those with more football knowledge than myself might think.

We needed points, not punts... I think in Mike's eyes it was worth the risk to go for it on 4th.

It would have been riskier not to go for it.

Exactly. Why do people complicate the thought process? We needed points, and there are only a limited number of drives to get the points. When the team digs such a huge hole, you gotta take some chances.
