i'll explain it so you can understand it....down 5....3 min to play.
if you kick a FG, you have to stop the other guys and get the ball back and drive all the way down the field, for a FG try that he may miss.
if you go for it, you either take the lead, or get stopped, and then you're in the same situation of having to stop them. either way you have to stop em. 4 yards from the end zone...you go for the TD. it's a no brainer. understand ? or am i being too obtuse for you ?

yes, i know full well what is required.
one should be able to depend on ones defense. had they scored anything, they'd have had to stop the other team from scoring.
down five, score a td. up by two.
other team marches just enough to kick a fg, they win.


right?
so, no matter what, they had to stop the team subsequently. if they go for a td, and get no points, they're down by 5 still. then, they have to stop the other team, and get a td.
so, no matter what, they had to stand on defense. but, by kicking a fg, you only need another fg.
go for it, don't make it, gives the other team some momentum.

as for 'explaining so i can understand'....again, gfy. ass. shove your misogyny.

and the bad call they made... was going for the fake fg when sea knew they were going to try.

You are proving my point with that drivel. What is it you don't understand ?
down 5, 3 minutes to go , 4 yard line you go for the touchdown.

not sure why you're so riled about this anyway, even had they got the td, the d didn't stop seattle, who scored another td. so, regardless, the steelers would lose.
and if they couldn't get a td in three tries, how would they manage on the fourth?
no matter what pitt did, they had to stop seattle to win-which they didn't do. and tomlin knew they had to stop seattle regardless-which is why he took the easy three. because a stop means they could potentially get another three, but no points at all would have doomed pitt. they'd have had to get a td in the amount of time left.
tomlin did the right thing, his d cost him in the end. if a team scores 30 or more, they ought to be assured a win.

Can anyone give a guess to what the odds would be,that 3 NFL prime time games in a row, would end on the very last play? AND the team losing would get a TD to cover the number!

on pattern recognition.....

'Religion, superstition, and conspiracy

Pattern recognition combined with post hoc reasoning can lead to a strong form of magical thinking. Basically, people are prone to see patterns where there are none (such as in occurrences of "bad luck" and "good luck") and then attempt to attribute them to some sort of correlation (such as the clothes worn that day). This has been correlated to a feeling of loss or lack of control.'
