In hindsight...

Again, hindsight is 20/20. But I was troubled by a decision in the middle of the fourth quarter. With the ball at the Bills' 49, Vikings coach Brad Childress sent his punter onto the field on 4th and 2.
Asked if he thought about going for it, Childress said, "You always think about it.
"But you have to use your best judgment, in terms of you feel the game is going, how you're playing offensively, and defensively, and I think you have to play it to how you're playing that day."
Here's the issue. The Vikings defense had been playing great. But they were on the field for 11:40 in the third quarter, and the Vikings offense was only on the field for a three-and-out early in the fourth. Less than 90 seconds ran off the clock.
His team was down two scores, so why not go for it on 4th and 2?
In hindsight, what decisions or mistakes bothered you yesterday?

Good points. Can't argue with either one.

How about not going for it on 4th and 2? I thought that was a missed opportunity.
