This is what frustrated me about that game. I really despise the idea of killing the clock to kick the field goal at the end of the game. That's what the defense is expecting you to do, therefore a screen pass or out route to your TE might be an easy touchdown. I do understand setting up the last play for the perfect position for the field goal, but why play right into the other team's strength on 1st and 2nd down? There are easily designed plays where you can keep the clock moving and not cost you any yardage. As much as I despise Green Bay and NE, they wouldn't have done this conservative "let's just settle for a field goal" crap. Nah. I think teams would do exactly that 99.9% of the time, especially considering they could not lose the TIE game at that point unless they did something bad throwing the ball. A close 2nd to scoring there is making sure your opponent can't score. Leaving them no time, makes it impossible to score. Pretty much how I look at it.
