If it was outside the 5 yard line than yeah kicking it would be better. As far as Zac going for 4th and goal from the 1, when was the last time you saw anyone not go for it that early in the game. Once again it was the right decision.
Posters keep hammering Zac for going for it on 4th down. They ignore that Bengals went for it on 4th down in 2nd half and ended up getting a TD. They ignore the kicker missed a 33-yard FG (same distance as extra point) and yet they state with 100% certainty he would have made the 40-yard FG. They talk about he left 6 points on the game, ignore the 4 to 7 point gain when the Bengals went for it on 4th and ignore that Cade York might have missed the earlier FGs. And they ignore that Zac went for it at the end of the game rather than take it out of Burrow's hands and put on Cade York's feet. On the game-day thread, it was Zero credit, All criticism.
