Take the points and force a touch down.
Was the right call. When they come up to the line they were looking for a specific defensive lineup and didn't see it. Hence, the timeout and the field goal. Good call.

No, it wasn't. And if Steven Jackson had caught the ball he should have caught you'd see why.
There are arguments pro and con, to be sure, each with RISKS... but going for it had a potential REWARD, i.e. an automatic win for gaining one yard, that outweighed the risk. Even upon a failure to gain that one yard Atlanta still would have had a lot of work to do.

Should have taken a delay of game instead of calling timeout.
