"Lin Elliot has to make field goals. He had three chances and missed them all"
That goes to my point about Marty and risks. As soon as the Chiefs got into FG range, Marty's whole plan was to position the ball for the FG atempt. He wasn't trying to get first downs and continue drives, and ultimately to score TDs, so much as he was trying to give his kicker the best opportunity to make FGs.
A losing strategy, especially with Elliot, who's shortcomings you've already pointed ot.
