I don't get this, "If we had kicked it, we would have tied." Nobody knows that. We could have kicked it, had it blocked and still lost. We could have stopped them on Defense and still won.
What it did do was state to this young team that THIS is who we are. We go for the win, and have confidence and trust in our teammates to step up if it doesn't go well.
We won 6 of our next 7 games. and 10 of our next 12.
We didn't lose the division on that play, we became a team, at the cost of a division loss to a team we then subsequently knocked out of the playoffs.

I could not agree more. This team needed an attitude change in the worst way, and that move was the absolute epitome of it. I was happy at the time they went for it, even though the result didn't work out. I'm ecstatic about it now.
