I think kicking the FG was the right move there upon further reflection.  At the time I did not.

now this takes some thought but hear me out.

-If GB goes for it on 4th and scores a TD, AND then converts  the 2 pt attempt, the game is tied with around 2 minutes left.

-GB must stop Tampa then short of successful FG range to force OT.

-If GB instead kicks the FG, given they had 3 TO and the 2 minute warning, they likely have to stop Tampa from getting two first downs to get the ball back..

-If GB does stop Tampa after GB kicks a fg , they then get the ball back in regulation, with a chance to WIN without even going to OT.

so the way I see this thing shaking out...either way, they have to stop Tampas offense from getting multiple first downs.   Two first downs likely gets Tampa very close to winning FG range anyway if Green Bay had went for the TD and tied it...and if GB instead goes for the FG, two TB first downs ends it via running out the clock.

so why do we think GB could stop Tampa from getting into FG range if they couldnt stop them from converting two first downs and running out the clock?
