Down by 3, the worst you get is OT. They don't even try for the TD.

Down by 6, you "could" lose, and seeing this defense historically, you understand why people (myself included) wanted them to go for it.

Down by 10, GAME OVER.

Plus, if you don't get it, they have 16 extra yards to go.

And finally, has that Super Bowl conversion play to Moore ever NOT worked when you needed 2 yards or a touchdown?

In theory? Absolutely. But this is the exact kind of thinking will lose you a game if you stick to that regardless of the situation. But don't you think the Falcons would have keyed on that considering that's pretty much a go to play of ours? The risk of it not working out was exponentially more harmful than the potential of you to be able to ice the game.

You can't be wreckless in situations like that against a good offense, because they will make you pay. Just look at what we have done to teams in the past the same exact way.
