How many 2-pt conversions have been successful on the road, against a playoff worthy defense, late in the game after fatigue and some injuries have set in, after the other team has adjusted to your offensive playcalling, etc. etc.

Show me that data.

none of this matters since going for 2 gives you the best chance to win. figuring out how to convert the 2 is on your coach/team.

the odds for the season were 55% of converting a 2 pt conversion. anything above a 40% chance to convert is a bonus when it comes to giving you a better chance to win.

we just watched the Bills kicker miss what was basically an extra pt to cost them a chance to go to OT.

if you want to win, you have to figure out how to convert these "50/50" situations.

if you just wanna let the other team have a better chance to win because you don't feel like you are good enough to execute, then you dont deserve to win anyway.

I would love to see P5 team go all in and go for 2 on every single TD no matter the situation.

Going for 2 down 8 kept the Saints out of the playoffs and putting GB in Dallas to beat that arse, kept the Dolphins from winning the AFC East.

Teams went for 2 down 8 30% of the time this year in the NFL, so this wasn’t some new phenomenon.

It’s funny that everyone loves to cite “momentum and other voodoo” as a reason why you shouldn’t do it, but never acknowledges that going for 2 scares the shite out of the opponent, bc it puts the fear of losing into the team leading, adding more game pressure.

You should always lean towards doing what your opponent doesn’t want you to do. The end.
