So would you rather get FG and have 30 seconds to drive 50 yards & score 'or score a TD and have 20 seconds to go 20 yards to get in FG range.
Bunch of fricking dumb sheep in this thread...but the announcer said kick a FG though!!!!

Except that's not the correct way to look at it since that's never what happens. The correct way is, would you rather kick the quick fg, have 50 seconds left needing a td, or run the clock down going for td, leaving 5 or 10 seconds to get onside kick and fg? This was terrible coaching.

Every second you spent running a play was a second taken away from your next drive (assuming an onside recovery).
When you list all the things that can go wrong when you....
Kick a FG:
You miss it and lose the game
Run a play:
Sack
Interception
Underneath pass that keeps clock rolling
Yes, I'll take 30 or more seconds with some shots at the endzone
