Re: Cardinals kick field goal instead of going for TD, WTF!!!!

So let's say the Cards were 65% to score from the 1. The way they were rolling offensively, why wouldn't they be close to 65% in over-time? The one thing Whiz has shown is an understanding of the percentages and a willingness to take risks to win games (such as going for it on 4th and 1 to take the lead in the 4th, and throwing with 6 seconds left).

Do you really think the Cardinals are 65 in overtime? How long does the average OT last? 7 minutes? How often does the best team score first in the NFL, especially when we don't know who gets the ball first?
As the game gets shorter, edges get smaller. The average OT game is nearly a coinflip coming it.
