The adage is on the road take the points right?
That said I do get it. You can't trade FGs for TDs and at that point the defense was a sieve.
The things that got me was his use of TOs at end of first half. He used two to stop the clock but when SF converted and had 1st in goal from 1 he didn't use last one, they drained the clock then McCafferty scored next play. They use the final TO they have over 30 seconds left and we've seen that is plenty of time to get into FG range.
In the 4th quarter they went for it on 4th and 8 from around 25 yard line, they got a penalty but then eventually turned it over on downs. I don't get it. At that point with Mike Evans out SF couldn't move the ball you kick the FG with 4-5 minutes left then only need a FG to tie. Instead they spent so much time they were forced to go for a TD.
You had all the momentum. Get the points, then get the stop.
