Yeah, I was simply saying what he meant.
In this case I would agree with you. If the game were a high-scoring offensive affair however, say between us and the Chiefs, it might make sense. You'd never want to put the game in Mahomes' hands with 1:46 remaining. Better to get the clock down as far as you can, then kick a FG.
You know, maybe get it down to :13 seconds. There's a miniscule chance that you'd lose unless you played absolutely stupid defense.
