I think most of us were ok with that sequence even though we only burned not even 30 seconds off the clock. It was the sequence that led to the McLaughlin shank we had an issue with, even though the spot screwed us, but I think that was one situation where Shanahan really needed to go for it on 4th down rather than put a mercenary rookie in for the longest try of his day.
I can agree with that.
I saw it as ," in case we DO get to a super bowl and a game winning fg is needed, now is the time to try to mimic that experience."
