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

Super Bowl version! Eagles chase a missed XP in the second quarter...and fail, leading 15-3.

2 point is higher EV for Philly in general. Mathematically you should be bitching that they went for XP the other two times. Ironically they missed one of them too

Yeah, sure fucked up the game for them, eh?

Well, let's all take a second to say a prayer of thanks.

There’s less than a minute left on the clock. Kick the ball back to Old Man Brady & the Patriots with an eight point lead, or a nine point lead.

Golly, I wonder if there's a schematic advantage?

So, Hawaii scores a TD to go up 16-7 early in the second quarter at Colorado State, and goes for 2 (and fails).

Texas fails trying for two down 24-22 near the end of the first half (I assume that they didn't just miss an extra point but wasn't watching). Hope it bites them in the ass.

Auburn went for 2 and failed on the opening score of the game and were down 16-15 in the middle of the 4th qtr, but scored to win it.

Bucks down 21-19 vs TCU with 7 minutes left in the THIRD quarter. Interim coach Ryan Day goes for two...and fails.

Too soon.

I saw that one

I didn't have a problem with going for 2 in that spot. Kick the XP and the Bucks trail by one - need a FG to take the lead. Go for two and fail - Bucks trail by two - still need a FG to take the lead. Not a lot to be gained or lost there, in my IMO.

Absolutely wrong. There was nothing but upside to the move.

I see you’re new to the thread, welcome

I disagree. In the 4th quarter, I'd much rather have had a 6 point lead than a 5 point lead. It means the offense has to go for a Td to make it a two score game.

Never, ever chase points with 20 minutes remaining. Both teams will have four or five more possessions... way too much ballgame to be played to decide you need to be tied versus being down by one.
