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.

WR Phillip Bell III (Official Thread)

I think he's in the right program to help him work through it and keep himself right. He's got to be one helluva a strong kid, but will need the program. I'll definitely be pulling for him.
Day's emphasis on mental health couldn't be better for the kid whatever he turns out to be
