Default Why no FG attempt?

Why didnt Colts go for the FG on 4th and 6? did they not want to face kick off return? And Lori if there are no other scores i think u may be loving that decision!

One of the reasons I had the top-up bet was that I didn't think they would risk kicking if they got the ball back and got deep.
The Bears only chances of scoring today seem to have come from returns. Why give the ball to their most likely man to score when you can just give it to Grossman deep in his own half.

I don't know but I am absolutely furious because that cost me big time on the over. What the hell? Wouldn't you rather be up 15 points than 12? I would. Absolutely ridiculous. Those of us who took the over can also thank the Colts kicking game for a botched hold on an extra point and a missed chip shot field goal.

I hate sports betting.

Why should they kick the fg when the Bears had already given up?

I thought my Under was doomed, but thank God Dungy is a classy coach.

Yeah, even ignoring the fact that I had the over. As a football fan I was just angry at the lack of effort by the Bears after gettign the ball back. This is the friggin Super Bowl. You have a chance, no matter how slim a chance it might be, to win and they didn't even look like they cared, no one was trying to get out of bounds or make a big play down the field. They may as well have just taken a knee with that play calling.

I don't agree about it being classy (not that Dungy is unclassy). It was a strategic decision on his part and nothing more.
