Screenshot of a text message exchange between a friend and myself discussing a decision to go for it on fourth and goal.

Friend:
Take 3?
Need 7?

Me:
No, just cause we're so close
The chances of them scoring go down dramatically when they get the ball inside their 5

Friend:
Okay

In Adam I trust

Unless I can't read

Me:
We would have a higher chance of scoring the next TD than they would cause of field position

Friend:
Or he's simping for the pats

Me:
Analytically speaking

More plays means more events for something to go wrong

So typically, when a drive needs to be 90+, something eventually does

Friend:
Logic is sound

Me:
Going for 3 and then letting them setup at the 35 gives them a massively greater chance at matching the 3

And a good chance at 7

I guess in this weather, drop that chance at 3

But still, you get it
