When the Raiders were facing fourth and goal from the one, I thought to myself, they should kick the field goal here, because if they don't, they give Miami a chance to take momentum and keep it a one score game?

Agree or Disagree?

Disagree. Go for it 10 out of 10 times given these matchups. Miami had been, and was pretty much every single other time, completely unable to stop Lynch gaining a bunch of yards, let alone 1.

Raiders made the right call, that play works almost every time. Plus, huge hole to dig out of if you're Miami.

Go for it on 4th and 1.  Almost always unless it is an end of game situation or something specifically related to only needing the 3 points.

didn’t see the game but, my general thought is teams don’t go for it often enough on 4th and short.

Raiders made the right call... They just called the wrong play!!!     Miami could not stop Lynch all day.    Why the raiders didnt hand it to Lynch then is beyond  me!!

LMAO ...I saw shades of Pete Carol on that play.

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

I think of it, by putting myself in my opponent's shoes and thinking what they would be hoping for. 

Of course, I was hoping the Raiders would go for it, so Miami would have a chance to stop them and keep it a one score game.
