y'all really don't think it has at least something to do with the snow?

Last week Bears went for it on 4th and 3 on their own like 30-35 in the first half. He’s just going to go for it and live with the results

Yes that may have been at least something......does not make it optimal?..........wind was listed at 13mph - which would be the critical determinant for FG attempt decision-making - 13mph, though is not a deal-breaker....they turned down a high % chance for 3 pts - at the 20 for about 38 yard FG try. Take the high percentage 3 pts.

I think it has more to do with confidence in the holder. It's wild that the new ball rules for kickers have added about 5-10 yards to their range but the spotters have become more important than ever. About half the time they miss its because of a bad snap or placement.

I think most head coaches go for it now from ~50 even though kickers reliably hit 55 yarders all the time now - at least early in the game when they don't desperately need to close or extend a lead. Logic is that 3 yards on the ground is easy and if they "surprise" the other team with a pass it's an easy TD.

Bears player went for pick instead of staying close and just batting ball. Hate it.

Two defensive stops in a row for the Bears. Opportunity to go ahead and take charge

Disappointing.

Would have liked to see Caleb with the ball in his hands on the 4th down play

Damn, on the move again at the 35. I really think if they pass more, Rams have had some trouble covering. Need a TD here
