I’ve noticed that everyone has been absolutely ridiculing Colts HC Frank Reich for the decision of going for it on 4th down.
But why?
In my opinion, you NEVER play for a tie. You play to win. It was a 4th and 4. That’s very convertible. There’s no reason why you wouldn’t put the fate of the game in your best player’s hands.
This reminds me of people criticizing Bill for the 4th and 2 call. A little different of a situation. But ultimately, you can’t treat going for it on 4th as giving up a win. The idea is that you have to take risks in order to WIN games. I can’t fault that strategy.
