It's the fourth quarter and points have not been coming easily this game, I feel you take the two.

Now we have the ball past midfield.

Get at least 3 here and it's 9 points... Not only 8 if you missed the 2.

Look at it this way:

Going for 2 is not a gimme.

So, miss it and you are up 5...kick another field goal and you are STILL only up one score.


Get the EP, you are up 6. Other team needs 2 FGs to tie. IF you kick one FG, they need 2 scores.


You just do not start chasing points this early.

So may problems with this statement. Wee go for two and miss and they get 2 fieldgoals its 16-15 we lose. Point not coming easily, exactly so we take the easy 1. "take the two," since when is a 2 point conversion a gimmie?
