Do you think Bill B. kicks it on 4th and 1 risking giving it back on the 40? No freakin way. He goes for it all the time. The guy is ruthless.
I am not sure what Wade or Bill B. would do in this situation, but I can tell you the fans wouldn't be happy if they didn't make it. Ok, so Gibbs doesn't kick and goes for it and doesn't make it, most fans would say what the heck man, PUNT it. Are all 4th and 1s gimmes?

I have been a fan and around fans long enough to know we are never happy when a play doesn't work and always seem to know better than the coaches on the sidelines. A good example is Dungy going for it on 4th and 1 inside the 10. If the team doesn't make it, everyone in America would call him stupid for not kicking the winning FG then. They made the first down and he is looking like a genius now.

There is a very fine line between being an idiot and a genious on all 4th and inches plays. It takes and idiot to go for it and the one who makes it is a genius.
