Basing the game and last drive on it was an issue, if it was a miss before half time then it wouldn't have received the same attention.

I believe that if you play for Field Goals, you play to lose the game, especially in this day and age in the NFL. Andy has always been overly conservative and has never truly been relentless, and attacking all the time. When we won the Super Bowl, Andy would always tell Patrick to keep firing. We need that mentality, let Patrick go crazy and take the good with the bad, rather then losing it conservatively in a non-conservative NFL.

I don’t think we were playing for FGs. I think we were playing to get the ball back. Credit to the bengals D it took us WAY too long to get to FG range. If we move the ball much quicker a quick FG would’ve been a great play.
