The capability and ease of scoring 7 compared to 8 and the psychology of that.
Buccs just got stopped going for 8, just happened, within the past 10 plays
So they’re still one score away from tying it up?

Lions needed to use a timeout on that 3rd down

Defense just get back and play prevent?

90 yards in 2 minutes with weapons at wideout and a gunslinger QB. Only two ways this ends. Baker carves them up or he makes one of the dumbest decisions ever.

Lions getting 5 yards a carry and decided to get cute. Not a fan of the play calling there.

Will be a super cool analogy to repeat if the buccs score and can’t even it up, and even if they do having to claw to get to level now

They decreased the odds of winning by missing the 2 pt because the odds of making a 2 pt conversion are less than making an XP
You don’t get to make the decision in hindsight. Going for two on the first TD is the right call.
If you miss it, it sucks a little, but you’re ignoring the 55% success rate too.

It was the right call. Don’t want to go to overtime on the road.

It’s playing odds. What actually happens doesn’t matter to the math that went into the decision. You trust a process and you’ll be right more times than not.

They are figuring they will need two touchdowns either way. If you go for two now and make it you can win with the second touchdown. If you miss it you still have a chance to tie with a two point conversion on the next touchdown. If they don't score another touchdown they are losing either way. I can see the logic for doing it. I can see the logic for not doing it. Look at it this way if you make the two point conversion you only have to stop Detroit once on defense. If you play for the tie by kicking it you have to stop Detroit on defense once in regulation and again in overtime. The 31 points on the scoreboard for Detroit suggests that will be tough to do. I think that was the right call but it also kind of goes against the way you typically look at this situation.
Seems more logical to kick the XP on first TD and if you score again go for 2 on the 2nd one. Simply due to momentum and pressure factors, logically missing the 2 pt on the first TD can kill some momentum/energy. If you kick it, you maintain momentum. Then if you score again you have 1. More momentum and 2. Would have worn the defense out more thus increasing the odds of converting a 2 pt try on the 2nd TD

No, he butchered the explanation. He doesn't understand it.

Going for 2 was a bad call. Go for 7 and then can go for 2 at end if score again.
Now if they score a TD at best they can tie but if they miss 2 they lose. And if they go 7 and score another TD then Lions would be on backfokt and TB all the big mo to score 2 for win.
As it stands their odds are low getting both TD and 2.

Going to be interesting. Keeping Evans/all in front or play tighter and risk a PI at some point

Yeah. Only in Missouri is a 31-31 game a win for the Bucs apparently.
