You either execute or you don't. You can use all 4 downs if you get the ball first too. They went for it on 4th down to go up during regulation. People pick and choose what they think is smart based on some hypothetical nonsense.

All of this is biased based on success. If it works you're a genius and if it doesn't it was dumb. Which again you just have to execute.


One way or another if you don't defend you're done.
