In the aviation world, they call this "getting behind the airplane." He leaned in to the strength of the team, the defense, by punting on the first drive. He didn't get the result he wanted and in hindsight wishes he'd have went for it. So he ends up going for it twice in two worse situations. Yeah, he should have went for it or even kicked the first time, but he instead compounded one bad decision with two more bad decisions, constantly chasing what might have been. Things are happening faster than his skill set allows for. "This pitfall can be caused by allowing events or the situation to control pilot actions. A constant state of surprise at what happens next may be exhibited when the pilot is getting behind the aircraft."
