Last night in GBay, coach McCarthy made a late game decision. RIGHT or WRONG?
Situation: GB up 40-30 with 4+ minutes left. 4th and short on ATL 35. He opts for a 53 yd field goal attempt in less than ideal conditions.
btw, Do you think Bill Parcells wudda made the same decision?

Here's the specific play and the writeup

Fuck the bot, you have Aaron Rodgers at QB, you trust him to get the first down and eat more clock. The situation isn't the same for every team, if that was Geno Smith, Derek Carr, or Luke McCown last night, you kick the fg, but when you have a HOF QB and the guy who will probably be the MVP, you put the ball in his hands and take your chances. I can guarantee you guys Belichick would have gone for it
Their answer is punt, always. 3rd and goal, punt.

Over there the answer would depend on what color the qb was
By adding 3 points in that situation amounts to reward(3pts) doesn' t come close to the risk/s.
a. Blocked 'chipshot' 53 yd FG. What could that lead to? The kicking game already missed a P.A.T.
b Missed FG= 1st Down ATL on 43yd line down 10 with 4+ minutes remaining. 3TOs and 2mw.
c .Ryan scoring @will versus tired/ole d/line and secondary
Summing it up, Coach McCarthy relying on his 'gassed' defense instead of his MVP QB. Make sense?
