Both arguments have valid reasoning to them. It's just a matter of your gut feeling. Personally, I agree with Rex. I would have gone for it.



The "by the book" decision is without question to kick the FG.

The error (and I think it was a major error) was in the use of the timeout...and the failure to use one after Atlanta's 2nd down and goal play (Mike Smith bailed Payton out).

Yeah that's my biggest beef. If you know you're gonna kick the fg, which I have no problem with that call, then just do it. Don't frick around and play silly games. They know what you're doing. Just take the 3 points and save your TO.
