re: Going for 2 in that situation.

Maybe I am misunderstanding you . When you go for 2 down 8, you do NOT win 50% of the time.

My last post I explained that I did not say exactly this. I said you make the 1st 2pt conversion 50% of the time, and for the sake of this discussion, we are assuming in every scenario you do score 2 TDs.


And no you don't automatically win in the above scenario but you do take the lead. All of these things are understood by everyone else in this discussion it seems, fwiw. We're simplifying things here. Of course you can go up 1 and the other team can come down and kick a FG. That's not relevant to this discussion, so it's not factored in.
