Kicking the FG was a good decision by MM but I have to say, Sherman's decision to go for it wasn't bad. When Sherman made that call, he had one of the best offensive lines and one of the best short yardage backs in the league not to mention a shaky D. Completely different situation for MM. MM has the worst run game in the league and a very good D. They both made the right choice.

I've never faulted Sherman for making that call. It was the choice to punt on 4th and a foot later in the game that was the bone headed call. When you have the choice you have to give your best players an opportunity to win the game. In that case it was the OLine and Green that should have been given that opportunity, not Bidwell and the D. I hate the fact that so many years later that game still bothers me. But I guess if we would have won that game, its possible Sherman would still be our GM.
