I don't mind the squib kick prior to half as much as I originally did.

1. We've all asked Harbaugh to play for the win. If we recover that kick, it's probably at least 16-3 at half. 2 touchdown lead. He's trying to bury them, maybe 20-3 at half.
2. Outside of 1 drive, WI hadn't shown anything on offense. To think they would drive the field in 30 seconds? Incredibly unlikely.
3. I get it, my first impression was "Why would you even keep that ball in play?", just kick it deep endzone but it was more of an unfortunate bounce and a couple of fluky plays.
4. I'm just glad to see we're not just laying down and accepting things. On par with this concept is going for it on 4th down, throwing on 1st down, fake punts, flea-flickers, etc. Instead of the playing not to lose, it's a much more aggressive approach. I'll take this approach over the playing not to lose even with the occasional unsuccessful questionable play call.
