I think that's the difference between DQ and DC; on the 1st try I'd have gone for it given the field position and (I think) nagging doubts about Gonzalez. I'd say he'll take the 3 when he thinks the flow of the game demands it. At that point going for it was arguably better than risking a missed FG (7 yard loss) and put the Buccs O deep in their own half. Sometimes forcing an opponent into attempting long drives can be better in the long run than 3 points. I also wonder if they planned to go for it anyway pre-game, on the basis it would tip the D hand on covering 4th downs. I think 2 of the play calls were dubious, but maybe they informed later attempts, not to mention how to play out the last drive. I wouldn't be surprised if DQ and KK went over all those 4th downs at length Monday/Tuesday.
