Pressure needs to get to Cousins.  No secondary can cover the Vikings 2 receivers for 5 seconds.  

True, but both long plays were made with good pressure.  Cook breaks one long and Cousins makes a miracle pass while going down.  Need to not let their speed guys run amok past the second level.

You risk a short field by going for it and not getting the first down.   There is risk either way.  

the risk is not removed when you go for it on 4th down.  You save 7 yards, which is not that much when there is over 1 minute and the other team has 3 TO left.

obviously yes.  we saw what was risked.  GB realized the downside.

People are posting here commenting on the downside of what actually happened and comparing it exclusively to the upside of what could have happened and I won't stand for it. 

The marginal differences are the additional snap position following a miss, the kickoff outcome after a made FG, and the difference in points.  Also, the chance to extend the drive and score without risking giving the ball back to the Minny offense because there isn't enough time left for a drive.

 

All the circumstances were in the favor of going for it.
