Stupid two point conversions (SimpLLLLLe Jim loves 'em, and so does James Franklin)

I'm watching the Thursday Night game. Bucs vs. Falcons. 28-14, 4th quarter, when the Falcons scored to make it 28-20. They tried to get 2, and failed. Fine. I get the analytics. If you get it, you just need another touchdown + 1 to win. If you fail, you have another chance to tie.
But does it ever work? They were then down 28-20, and scored another touchdown. Now they NEED to get 2... but they failed again. 3:29 left now, down 2, and the other team has the ball.
Does this move ever work?

Now that I think of it, I think the Browns also had a similar situation on Sunday. And failed both times.
Stop trying to be fancy.

Still very dumb to me. This new fad. Even as a “numbers” guy it doesn’t make sense to me practically.

The idea is you make 50% of 2pt conversions? So you make the first and you’re in the driver’s seat to win easy with a TD+XP. Or you miss and get the next 2pt conversion to tie. But that 50% chance doesn’t care about the previous miss. You can still miss 2 in a row.

That doesn’t even get into situational stuff - matchup, offense vs defense, momentum, psychological impact of missing. Just kick the XPs and tie. Keep the pressure on the team blowing a 14 point lead. Or at least kick the first then maybe be ballsy go for a win at the end.

Watched Illinois game last night, and positions were reversed. Didn't pay attention to fouls, but Tilly got the bulk of the minutes...Devin reprised his role as rebounder, and was skying against the taller (!) Illini. Thought the Buckeyes had a chance, but those cats were nailing 3's like the devil was sitting on their shoulders. Illinois has always (in my memory) fielded teams that always had alot of tall timber. Seemed that all the Buckeyes were about 6-8" shorter. Can see why they've been in the Dance, what, 8 years in a row? Anyway, that was NOT a good match-up for the Buckeyes, but they gave it a heckuva whirl. Oh yeah, Diebler, get our guys to spend some time on free throws. The ultimate scoring difference was made from the charity line. And they're called 'free throws' for a reason.
