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.

Vinatieri had the Under. Thank you sir!

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, thank god for the classiness, and my alternate line of the bears (+14.5) at -300 semi-bridgejump coming in...wow...

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

wiper I hear ya on the bridge jumping. I had the -400 +17.5 on the Bears for my whole Greek account and thought I was kissing it goodbye.

There are multiple reasons why he should have kicked a FG and multiple reasons not to. Up 12 with under 2 minutes and the Bears having 1 timeout left. Even if the Bears get a miracle TD they whould have to get a miracle on side kick recovery and then another miracle TD to win.

Come on Dungy knew what he was doing and he knew the young Grossman wasn't gonna pull this out. Only 2 QBs in the game right now would have a shot at something like this, Peyton and Brady.
