Had they left the extra point spot where it was and kickers were making 99% on extra points, I would agree. However, with the extra point being further back, if you are 50/50 you may actually come out on top.

With that said, another poster showed the Saints were 25%. So, they have to drastically improve for that to become a reality.

In regards to going for it on 4th (outside of end of half/game); if it's 4th and less than 5 and you are between the 30s I would not be upset if they would start taking that shot. Of course, if they know this; then it also changes the play call on 3rd and you may be bale to have 4th be more manageable bc you still have one more down.


As per NBC Sports:

As for going for two, last season across the league extra points were good 94.2 percent of the time, while two-point conversions were good 47.9 percent of the time. That means two-point conversions were actually a slightly better bet than extra points.
