I just think someone should have commented on it.

I heard a ton of criticism & 2nd guessing of the Bills coaches. It made me mad because no matter what the Bills decided, the Chiefs had to be perfect in order to send it to OT. I like my odds if I set up circumstances where the opponent has to be perfect to beat me.

I just remember in the Panthers 1st SB vs the Pats. Took the lead late. And John Kasay kicked the ball OOB trying to pin NE's return to the sideline. It gave Tom Brady an extra 15 yds and he got them to a game winning FG. I wish John Fox just told Kasay to kick it as hard as he could (along w/not calling time out when they had the ball inside the 15 and 1:40 left. That ended up giving Brady at least :40 extra seconds).

So I get it. What you say is the better move. But it is also more risky. More moving parts that can break down.
