Option 1, should note a kickoff is required, which introduces a small amount of randomness
Option 2, should note slightly better field position for the Jets.
Option 5, field goal is blocked giving jets a far better field position
The 7 yards the Jets gained from a missed FG, was sort of meaningful at the end.
The statistics may very well say Daboll made the right choice. And as we saw, with the giants QB situation, a tie was likely the same as a loss in regulation. So I can’t fault the decision. but in real time I was screaming at the radio to go for it, because I felt like there were more things that could go wrong with the field goal try
