Tavita said he didn't feel good about a FG that long and a punt wouldn't gain that much. Didn't address the play call.

My guess:

1. We thought they'd sit back closer to the sticks

2. And even if we didn't get the first down, we'd get 10+ yards, which would put them inside their own 25 anyway

I think if your kicker has the leg you go for the FG, even if it's a 25% chance to convert. But with our snaps going all over the place maybe we are just that scared right now.

In his press conference this week, Tavita said the 4th and 20 call was a "stupid call" by him. I wasn't entirely clear whether he was referring to the decision to go for it, the playcall itself, or both. But I appreciated that he called himself out on it when the question was about 4th down decisions in general and not that specific one.
