re: There is absolutely no reason you don't kick the field goal with :30 left

Nah. 2 passes in the end zone take 5 seconds. When you are that close you gotta try.
Drew fricked it up by throwing a check down to Ingram instead of throwing it away. No different than the chance you take of Graham missing a FG.

Do you really still not understand how important those seconds are? You have to be trolling at this point.

Please tell me how inportant 20 seconds vs 30 seconds is?
Like i said before:
20 seconds to score a FG is easier than 30 seconds to get a TD.

It's incredibly important. You have to drive to get a FG. You don't need to drive to throw a Hail Mary, or at least not nearly as far. With under a minute lefts me no timeouts, kicking the FG as early as possible is the only chance you have.

This post is hilarious though:
You act like your opinion is indisputable.

My way makes a thousand times more sense than yours. It just played out infront of you. You're to stupid to even get it apparently. Kicking the FG is the right decision for the exact reason of what happened today.

Ok buddy because 10 seconds is the difference between me being stupid and you being thousand times more correct.

It was pathetic all around. Yes, they got it close and I understand taking one shot at the end zone, but then they should've kicked the FG if they don't get the TD. How you don't understand that is pretty funny. Brees derped, like he has too many times this year, but trying the one shot wasn't bad IF dumbass throws it into the end zone and not underneath.

Why do you not trust Graham with a long kick with :50, then act like he'd make it with less time? He has to kick it at some point. May as well do it to where you have the most time left to score a TD. I really dont see how you don't get it.

The mistake - an inexcusable, incomprehensible mistake - was throwing underneath rather than throwing to the end zone. But going for the TD was the correct decision.

Because you need a FG and a TD to win (not tie). With no timeouts, it makes the most sense to get either score as quickly as possible. Additionally, you can get a TD with a Hail Mary, unlike a FG. That makes kicking the FG as soon as possible the best chance at winning.

Do you really still not understand how important those seconds are?
Here's what you guys are advocating: You want to conserve time by sacrificing 3 red-zone chances to go for the end zone, only to use that conserved time to go for the end zone from the 40 or 50 yard line. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Also, since you're using time on either possession (pre- and post-onside kick), it's worth mentioning that it takes less time to run end zone routes from inside the 10 yard line than it does from the 40 or 50.

See my post above. Ever second is critical, and you have to get one of those two scores. Why not save as much time as you can so you at least have 3 Hail Mary chances instead of 1, or none as the way it played out today? You need two scores.
Logic says score as quickly as possible to give yourself the most time to score again. The only reason you don't kick the FG is because you don't trust your kicker, but he has to kick a FG either way. Therefore, you get it out the way with as much time left as possible, especially considering it was a very makeable distance at that point.
