Has anyone seen whether or not folks in Oregon are second-guessing Chip Kelly for not kicking the field goal early after the Mariota long run? 

It's almost guaranteed that his thought process was along the following lines: "Hey, we'll get the TD and, if we don't, who really cares, because we'll just score next time."  I think it's almost as likely that Shaw would have kicked the field goal.

I wouldn't say Kelly's decision was indefensible...but, as it turns out, there's a good argument to be made that it probably cost them the game.

The opposite, actually.  On Addictedtoquack, they were upset they tried the 43 yard field goal.
