Man we’re ALL - including basically every NFL and college coach - trying to wrap our head around this. It doesn’t make sense to many of us. and it probably didn’t to you initially. I’m reading… and trying to learn, don’t be mean.
Should probably start fresh then.
Every discussion about this is going to typically assume the defensive stop and another offensive score to illustrate why going for 2 down 8 is smart. People go there to illustrate why going for 2 on the first TD is better than going for 2 on the 2nd TD only. It helps isolate the math so people can understand the logic.
A good article that discusses this with the assumption of scoring again
However, the actual winning chances are low period.

I think the people arguing against it are so caught up in the moment that they don't stop and think 'maybe the people that get paid 10s of millions of dollars a year have all started doing this for a logical reason rather than just following the trend'
Like, does bill belichick seem like the type of guy (a defensive specialist) to just start going for 2s in that situation because someone tells him to? Or he saw the math and said yeah that makes sense.
Meanwhile random jackasses that never coached a game in their life will watch it happen in a playoff game and give their 2 cents haha. Yeah if it doesn't work it sucks
