Not only can too much go wrong but the boost you'd give them by failing is too huge to outweigh the possible positive of picking up the 1st.
On the road in a close game, take any points you think you can get.

Disagree. Of course, Gibbs 2.0 thinks exactly as you've stated.

On the road is where you send a message that you've come to play and challenge the bitches. If this was a 4th and 1 from the Dallas 20 yd line, at least you could reasonably argue that you could bank on Suisham for 3 points.

How's the boost you give them by failing on a 4th and 1 any more than the boost you give them by missing a field goal?
