the reason why they kick a FG is to F*** a lot of people for 2H betting.  The whole game was Packers -13 or 13.5  by half time.. the packers are up 14-3   and 2H packers - 6     So people see that -6 and see wow that only -6 .. and packer at home.. 1 TD can cover it.   So when the packer were up 35 - 18   with 4 minutes left in 4th quarter.. there no way to score 2 TD and 1 FG in 4 minutes to tie the game..  so the bear will try to score but they coudnt in that 4 minutes time frame.. so what do they do ? kick a FG and F*** the 2H packers betting up..  35-21   and packers cover the whole game by 14.. but lost 2H.   If the bear go for it on 4th down ?? that doesn't do much to the game as a whole.. but by kicking that FG.. it kill the packers gamblers that betting on them 2H thinking only -6 would be an easy $$$$$  .... gambling is all mind reading.. packers move the ball too easily... and vegas can read your mind majority of the time..

there goes the math shit again, be real, down by 17 with 1 min to go and 1 timeout, you really think Bears still have chance

Right, because with 72 seconds left it's easier to kick the field goal and recover the onside kick at the 45 and score a touchdown going 55 yards rather than 12 yards out and then repeat it.  Makes Lovie Smith sense to me.  This would make sense if there were more than 2 minutes on the clock, but the game was already out of hand and his logic made absolutely no sense.  You want to see what the new kid can do?  Then let him try on 4th down.  A field goal?  What a wimp.

The Bears knew they weren't going to convert shit on 4th down there. They took the easy 3 instead of coming up empty.

The Colts kicked a fg, then 2 onside kicks & scored 2 td's, then went into overtime & they won by 3 so its never over until its over...........with that said, its a super long shot but it can happen. 


I think you have some of your memory mixed up with the Colts-Bucs game from MNF eight years ago.

The 93 Colts did narrow the gap on the Redskins, as they were down 30-10 and lost 30-24. However, they didn't win nor did they go to OT. I knew they couldn't have won like you said, because the game would have been more talked about in those "greatest comebacks of all-time" countdowns.
